MITRE Launches New Framework to Tackle Crypto Risks

MITRE introduced the Adversarial Actions in Digital Asset Payment Technologies ([AADAPT framework]()), modeled after ATT&CK to catalog adversarial tactics, techniques, and procedures affecting digital asset ecosystems like [cryptocurrency](), aiming to help developers, policymakers, and financial organizations—especially smaller or resource-constrained ones—mitigate risks such as double-spending, phishing, and ransomware; contextual highlights include $2.47B stolen in H1 2025 (per CertiK) and the Bybit hack linked to [Lazarus](), underscoring the need for structured defenses and trust-building across the ecosystem.
