πŸš€ CertiK Reports Major Security Breach on DEXX Platform

According to BlockBeats, on November 16, blockchain security audit firm CertiK issued a statement regarding a significant security breach affecting users of the DEXX platform. Numerous users have reported that their account assets have been completely drained.

πŸš€ Digital Asset Fund Advocates For Enhanced Security Measures

According to BlockBeats, on February 22, the Pacific Waterdrop Digital Asset Quantitative Fund recommended that the industry adopt more compliant and secure solutions to prevent severe threats to asset security, similar to the hacking incidents experienced by Bybit.

The proposed solution involves conducting trades on major trading platforms while storing all encrypted assets with third-party licensed institutions, ensuring institutional-level security custody. An asset mapping mechanism is employed between the fund's trading platform accounts and the custodial institutions, which guarantees the safety of fund assets even in the worst-case scenarios involving trading platforms.

The recent crisis has had no impact on the fund's operations.

πŸš€ Bybit Attack Attributed To Outdated Safe Contract Version

According to Odaily, cybersecurity firm SlowMist has analyzed the recent attack on Bybit, attributing it to the use of an outdated Safe contract version (v1.1.1). This version lacked the critical Guard mechanism necessary for protection. SlowMist suggests that if Bybit had upgraded to version 1.3.0 or higher and implemented appropriate Guard mechanisms, including whitelisting unique addresses for fund reception and enforcing strict contract function ACL verification, the losses might have been prevented. Although this is a hypothetical scenario, SlowMist emphasizes that it offers valuable insights for future asset security management.

πŸš€ Former CIA Officer Recommends Three-Wallet Strategy for Asset Security

A former CIA officer has proposed a three-wallet strategy to enhance asset security. According to Bitalk News, the strategy involves using three distinct wallets: one for everyday transactions and small expenses, another dedicated to high-risk operations, and a third solely for receiving and transferring assets without any authorizations or operations. This approach aims to separate high-risk activities from valuable assets, ensuring that any potential mistakes do not affect the wallet holding the most valuable assets.
