VMM-268 Showcases MV-22 Versatility, Strengthens Relationships on 6,100 Mile Trans-Pacific Flight > United States Marine Corps Flagship > News Display

KAILUA, HAWAII —

 U.S. Marines with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 268 concluded their deployment with Marine Rotational Force – Darwin by executing a 6,100 mile transpacific flight from Australia to Hawaii, September 13-18, 2022. The occasion marks the second time this year that MV-22 Ospreys from Marine Aircraft Group 24 successfully completed long-range maritime self-deployments. Earlier this year, VMM-363 executed a similar mission, flying approximately 5,000 miles from Hawaii to the Philippines for Exercise Balikatan 22.

The monumental journey began in Darwin on September 13 as two VMM-268 MV-22s and one KC-130J from Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 152 departed for Royal Australian Air Force Base Amberley. Over the next several days, the Marines would land in Fiji, American Samoa, and the Republic of Kiribati before completing the final leg to Marine Corps Base Hawaii Kaneohe Bay.

“The MV-22s are capable and versatile aircraft for operations in the Pacific,” said Capt. John Wilkinson, a pilot assigned to VMM-268.

“It’s important to remember that flights of this magnitude wouldn’t be possible without the dedication and support of our Marines and our allies and partners.”  Capt. John Wilkinson, a pilot assigned to VMM-268

While transiting the islands of the South Pacific via a path resembling the Corps’ island-hopping campaign of World War II, they prioritized their interactions with local leaders and communities along the way. In Fiji, the Marines welcomed airfield support staff onboard for a tour and later came together to share a meal and exchange tokens of appreciation for support.

In American Samoa, the Marines had several memorable interactions. Sergeant Tyrone Travers, a native of the island, embraced his sister for the first time in six years. Colonel Manlee Herrington, MAG-24 commanding officer, met with two retired Marines; Sgt. Maj. Tusipasi Suiaunoa, whose last assignment was as the Headquarters and Support Battalion Sergeant Major at U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific; and Cpl. Ketsemame Meaole, a veteran of the war in Vietnam.

While in the Republic of Kiribati, the Marines delivered humanitarian aid supplies to the community,…

BitMart Hack Puts Crypto’s Weakness on Display

/in


Well, crypto got hacked again. This time it was the exchange BitMart, which announced a hack of at least $150 million on the evening of Saturday, Dec. 4.

Blockchain security firm Peckshield — which spotted and tweeted out a warning of the leak about an hour and a half before BitMart CEO Sheldon Xia announced it — put the losses at closer to $200 million.

Saying that the stolen funds were “a small percentage of assets on BitMart,” Xia added that customers will not suffer any losses, promising “BitMart will use our own funding to cover the incident and compensate affected users.”

The theft comes less than a week after decentralized finance (DeFi) project BadgerDAO was hit for $120 million by a hacker who drained funds directly from users’ wallets. Which comes just four months after the mid-August attack in which a hacker drained a staggering $612 million from another DeFi project, Poly Network (and, strangely enough, promptly gave it all back).

DeFi is an especially inviting target, and the lack of central control means there’s less pushback against crooks. DeFi projects have been hit to the tune of $10 billion so far, according to a recnet report from crypto intelligence firm Elliptic.

Then there were the 6,000 Coinbase users whose wallets were drained in a phishing attack in October.

So, what’s going on? Well, business as usual.

A Juicy Target

There’s a couple of reasons for all these hacks, starting with how large they are. When you’ve got the largest vault around, you’ll attract all the top criminals. Especially when, like crypto, your vault isn’t too secure.

Remember, one of the early ways bitcoin broke into mainstream consciousness was when a hacker drained $350 million in bitcoin from the Mt. Gox exchange in a February 2014 hack.

Part of the problem is that exchanges need “hot” wallets that are connected online for their ongoing transactions, which can run to billions of…
