Decoding The Avraham Eisenberg Arrest And Its Impact On Crypto Bug Bounties, White Hat Hackers

/in


The arrest of Avraham Eisenberg has sparked an interesting debate regarding the role of white hat hackers and bug bounty programs in the security of the DeFi ecosystem. This is because Eisenberg eventually returned most of the loot and his exploit also shed light on vulnerabilities within the Mango Markets protocol. These are all the markings of a white hat hacker.

Avraham Eisenberg, the crypto trader responsible for the $110 million Mango Markets exploit, was arrested in Puerto Rico on Monday, December 26. This is after the US Department of Justice accused Eisenberg of commodities fraud and manipulation. If convicted, he could be slapped with heavy fines, possibly even jail time.

The arrest has sparked an interesting debate regarding the role of white hat hackers and bug bounty programs in the security of the DeFi ecosystem. This is because Eisenberg eventually returned most of the loot and his exploit also shed light on vulnerabilities within the Mango Markets protocol. These are all the markings of a white hat hacker.

What is a white hat hacker?

White hat hackers, also known as ethical hackers, are computer security experts who use their skills to identify and fix vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks. In the context of cryptocurrency, white hat hackers may be hired by cryptocurrency exchanges, wallet providers, and other companies in the industry to test the security of their systems and help prevent cyber-attacks.

They may also be independent security researchers who discover and report vulnerabilities in cryptocurrency-related systems to improve security in the industry. White hat hackers are distinguished from “black hat” hackers, who use their skills for malicious purposes such as stealing sensitive data or spreading malware.

In many instances, white hat hackers carry out an exploit and then return most of the funds, only holding onto a small chunk of the loot as a fee for uncovering a vulnerability. This is way better than losing all the funds to bad actors or hacking outfits like North Korea’s Lazarus Group that uses ill-gotten funds to fuel their weapons program.

Also, sometimes it is necessary to carry out the exploit to verify the legitimacy of a vulnerability….

Zero-Day Twitter Hack Confirmed, Impact Could Exceed 20 Million Users

/in


At least 5 million Twitter users impacted by zero-day hack, total could yet exceed 20 million.

On 5 August 2022, Twitter confirmed that a threat actor used a zero-day vulnerability to compile a database of user information. That vulnerability was fixed, Twitter said, in January 2022. However, Bleeping Computer has reported that the database, which includes non-public information of more than 5 million users, has now been shared for free within a breached data marketplace forum. The publication also reports that another database, potentially containing 17 million records, was created using the same vulnerability. Here’s what we know so far.

Database of 5,485,635 Twitter users shared by cybercriminals online

The Bleeping Computer report confirms that the database of 5,485,635 Twitter user records, initially offered for sale at $30,000 in July, has been shared on 24 November, for free, on the Breach Forums site. Most of the data, it would appear, is publicly known, such as Twitter usernames, login names, and verification status. However, the report also states that private information, such as telephone numbers and email addresses, is also included.

The information appears to have been gathered using an Application Programming Interface (API) vulnerability, as first disclosed by a hacker on the HackerOne bug bounty platform (who received a $5,000 payment from Twitter), enabling the data to be scraped. “APIs allow computers to communicate with one another, and account for around 80% of all the traffic that traverses the Internet. In short, APIs are very important and should be treated as such,” Ed Williams, director of SpiderLabs (EMEA) at Trustwave, says. “Yet, we still see common security-related issues around APIs, most notably authentication (or lack of) based issues, a lack of resource and rate limiting, and generic API security misconfigurations like TLS, error handling, and logging. We know from recent data breaches that a combination of these can yield significant amounts of personal data.”

Oak Ridge neutrons have a worldwide impact

/in


Free neutrons in Oak Ridge. They are drawing hundreds of scientists from all over the world to the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) and Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

“We are overbooked,” said Hans Christen, director of ORNL’s Neutron Scattering Division, in this month’s lecture to Friends of ORNL. One reason is that a few other neutron sources in the world are temporarily shut down.

Another reason is that the SNS and HFIR offer scientists some of the brightest of neutron beams (a million billion neutrons striking a tiny area every second), providing high resolution and sensitivity. It’s like observing dust floating in room air only when a beam of sunlight shines through a window.

The free neutrons are free in several ways. They are free of charge in the sense that they have no electrical charge like protons, their positively charged cousins with which they are confined in atomic nuclei. Because they have no charge, they can penetrate deeper into material than other probes such as X-rays and electrons.

Christen said they are free of charge for scientific users of the instruments costing millions of dollars that receive neutrons flowing from the beamlines of HFIR and SNS, provided the researchers publish the results of their experiments in the open literature.
