A Nigerian fintech just lost ₦20 million to a fake webhook.
Attacker didn’t hack anything.
They just POSTed this to the endpoint:
{
"event": "transfer.success",
"amount": 500000,
"status": "success"
}
Backend credited the user. Zero money moved.
This is happening more in crypto payments too.
What every backend dev must do in 2026:
1. Verify webhook signature + IP + timestamp (not just event name).
2. Never credit on webhook alone always confirm on-chain + NIBSS.
3. Add rate limiting and replay attack protection.
4. Reconcile every stablecoin inflow against blockchain truth.
Crypto rails move fast. One lazy endpoint and you’re done.
Save this like your production depends on it.

Story time🌚
I recently took on a gaming app project… and I’ve never designed a gaming app in my life 😅
But you know how it is in this country, “man must work”.
I was honest about my experience, but the client still believed in me based on my past work. No pressure, right?
I entered exam mode immediately 😂When I say research, I mean proper deep dive, insights, inspo, patterns… everything. I don’t think I’ve ever researched like that before. Chaiii
Had my first call, showed them the onboarding I designed, and they loved it. NO FEEDBACK!!! I was so relieved. (What God can do does not exist)😂
Now I’m about to start the main thing, the home screen and other key parts and honestly… I’m excited and slightly panicking at the same time because I actually don’t know what I’m doing yet 😭
But we move.
Can’t wait to share it when I can.
Good morning and have a great day!🫶

I still use them; Rider, Web Storm, and PHP Storm, still use VS Code though but not my main IDE

Adriksh@Adriksh
it's wild how VS Code became the industry standard while JetBrains spent years building actually superior IDEs that nobody wants to pay for anymore
