Fedha ya Mtandao(Cryptocurrency), Liquid Global ya Japan ambayo ni moja kati ya fedha 20 za mtandao zinazotumika zaidi, imedukuliwa na dola milioni 100 zimeibwa ambazo ni sawa na takriban Tsh. Bilioni 323.
Huu I wizi wa pili mkubwa baada ya ule uliohusisha wadukuzi wenye nia njema kuiba dola milioni 600 ambazo walizirejesha. Liquid wamesema wanawasiliana na washirika wengine ili kufuatilia na kurejesha fedha hizo.
Liquid Global iligundulika mwaka 2014 na hadi sasa inatumika kwenye nchi zaidi ya 100 duniani na kuwahudumia mamilioni ya wateja duniani kote.
Ikumbukwe vijana wa Tanzania wanaingia kwenye hizi kitu bila ku-analyse risks, aidha rais amezi-endorse kwa namna fulani.

Leading Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Liquid has been hit by hackers, with almost $100m (£73m) estimated to have been stolen.
The company announced that some of its digital currency wallets have been "compromised."
It is the second major theft of cryptocurrencies to take place in recent days.
Last week, digital token platform Poly Network was at the centre of a $600m heist.
"We are sorry to announce that #LiquidGlobal warm wallets were compromised, we are moving assets into the cold wallet," the company said on Twitter.
So-called 'warm' or 'hot' digital wallets are usually based online and designed to allow users to access their cryptocurrencies more easily, while 'cold' wallets are offline and harder to access and therefore usually more secure.
Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic said its analysis showed that around $97m in cryptocurrencies had been taken, with Bitcoin and Ethereum tokens amongst the haul.
Liquid has said that it was tracing the movement of the stolen cryptocurrencies and working with other exchanges to freeze and recover the assets.
Founded in 2014, Liquid operates in over 100 countries and serves millions of customers around the world.
It is one of the world's top 20 biggest cryptocurrency exchanges by daily trading volumes, according to CoinMarketCap data.
Last week, $600m was stolen from blockchain site Poly Network after a hacker exploited a vulnerability in its system.
"The amount of money you have hacked is one of the biggest in defi [decentralised finance] history," Poly Network said.
Since then the hacker, who goes under the name of Mr White Hat, has returned around $427m of the assets.
Liquid is not the only Japanese cryptocurrency platform to be hit by a major heist.
In 2014, Tokyo-based exchange while Coincheck was hacked in a $530m heist in 2018.
