The new meta for bug hunting just dropped! the Goodwill Hunting. Always get paid the goodwill amount.


My Brother @Ehsan1579 is on fire🔥800k last 90 Days @immunefi


Quick updates on USR / @ResolvLabs exploit: - Exploiter mints 50M USR - Sells it via metamask swap (farming the airdrop ofc) - USR goes to 5c - Protocol could snapshot everyones balances pre exploit as the exploiter didn't take any of the underlying funds - LPs rekt as exploiter is able to dump into AMM pools - Dola getting hit as a sideffect as its partially backed by USR / USR-DOLA LP - Probably not a good idea to buy USR as the exploiter still has their minted USR and you'd be screwed if team refunds based on pre exploit snapshot - Haven't seen any word from the resolv team but hopefully they're on it - Shoutout @yieldsandmore for being all over this


I Saved Injective's $500M. They Pay Me $50K. I like hunting bugs on @immunefi . I'm decent at it. - #1 — Attackathon | Stacks - #2 — Attackathon | Stacks II - #1 — Attackathon | XRPL Lending Protocol - 1 Critical and 1 High from bug bounties (not counting this one) Life was good. Then I found a Critical vulnerability in @injective . This vulnerability allowed any user to directly drain any account on the chain. No special permissions needed. Over $500M in on-chain assets were at risk. I reported it through Immunefi. The next day, a mainnet upgrade to fix the bug went to governance vote. The Injective team clearly understood the severity. Then — silence. For 3 months. No follow up. No technical discussion. Nothing. A few days ago, they notified me of their decision: $50K. The maximum payout for a Critical vulnerability in their bug bounty program is $500K. I disputed it. Silence again. No explanation for the reduced payout. No explanation for the 3 month ghost. No conversation at all. To be clear: the $50K has not been paid either. I've seen others share bad experiences with bug bounty payouts recently. I never thought it would happen to me. I can't force them to do the right thing. But I won't let this be forgotten. I will dedicate 10% of all my future bug bounty earnings to making sure this story stays visible — until Injective pays what I deserve. Full Technical Report: github.com/injective-wall…


I don’t think I can continue this career path for long. - I’ve experienced exhaustion every day for the past week bro that I can’t even sleep at night. Bro I’m sad I’m mentally exhausted.



🔴News outlets are touting a recent report by the US Treasury on the combatting of illicit finance in digital currencies as a "win for privacy." This is incorrect. While the report notes that "lawful users of digital assets may leverage mixers to enable financial privacy when transacting through public blockchains," the majority of language on mixers highlights their use in terrorist financing and other illicit activities, as well as the challenges mixers introduce for law enforcement. As the Treasury states: "Criminals commonly use tools like mixing [...] to introduce challenges for investigators attempting to trace illicit digital assets, frustrating law enforcement investigations as well as DASPs’ transaction monitoring and tracing efforts." While the report issues no new recommendations on the future of mixers, it notes that the Treasury has already proposed a rule to regulate mixers under the PATRIOT Act that it has been tasked to finalize by the White House. According to the report, the Treasury has additionally adopted the following recommendations: Treasury will "incentivize the development and integration of digital identity tools aimed at countering illicit finance" Treasury will "explore working with Congress on ways to better enable third-party service providers to conduct identity verifications" Treasury will "encourage industry stakeholders to develop open-source and standardized APIs for essential compliance functions" Regarding Decentralized Finance (DeFi), the Treasury further recommends that: "Congress should consider specifying actors within the decentralized finance ecosystem that should be subject to AML/CFT obligations" "Congress should consider how to best safeguard the U.S. financial system from money laundering threats that originate abroad, including those in the decentralized finance ecosystem," that should ***"include adding a sixth special measure*** to Section 311 [PATRIOT Act] authorizing Treasury to prohibit, or impose conditions upon, certain 'transmittals of funds' that are not tied to a correspondent banking relationship." "Congress should consider creating digital asset-specific financial institution types or subtypes within the BSA, such that the new types or subtypes would be subject to AML/CFT obligations" "FinCEN should evaluate whether and how its existing guidance related to the digital asset sector, including guidance issued in 2013 and 2019, should be rescinded, modified, or updated to reflect legislative and regulatory changes"




Last night, John Daghita – a U.S. government contractor who allegedly stole more than $46 million in cryptocurrency from the U.S Marshals Service – was arrested on the island of Saint Martin by the French Gendarmerie’s premier elite tactical unit in a joint operation with the @FBI. Thanks to the International Cooperation Team Serious Crime Unit of the French Gendarmerie National in Saint Martin, and the Groupe d’intervention de la Gendarmerie nationale of Guadeloupe for the outstanding coordination. FBI will continue working 24/7 with our international partners to track down, apprehend, and bring to justice those who attempt to defraud American taxpayers—no matter where they try to hide.
