RE: They warn that computer attacks against the Blockchain sector will intensify in 2018

Along those same lines, we can also expect individuals being randomly targeted for their personal cryptocurrency wallets, which they may have with an online service, on their computer, or with a hardware storage device like Trezor/Ledger.

This of course means that as more and more people enter into the cryptocurrency markets (even if it's only Bitcoin or Litecoin) an increasing level of awareness must be placed on personal protection for the common newbie (or anyone who is unaware, for that matter) and the general lack of safety that storing your crypto on an exchange poses or any other manner in which they can be stolen/hacked (and also informed of ways to prevent their theft).

Is it possible that we'll start seeing established companies or start-ups offering insurance for the protection of cryptocurrency (at the very least on an individual level)?
