NASA has seen "significantly increasing" malicious activity from both nation-state hackers and cybercriminals targeting the US space agency's systems and personnel working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Also, blockchain security means there is no centralized authority in control of the network to verify the data going through it which makes it hard for hackers to orchestrate an attack.
