a week into the roman storm trial and the state is dangerously close to converting me back to team “no one should be allowed to freeze any money ever” lmao

I'm taking a 2 second break from the other shitshow to bring you some delicious lore regarding DPRK IT Workers and their love of Minions. 😄

Very glad to have this behind me. It never made sense but neither does the @rstormsf trial. Wild how quickly you can have your life upended. I'm grateful for those who saw through it and for my stellar legal team. Now, turning my attention back to @krakenfx. 🐙🚀

Could Roman Storm be getting a mistrial? Last week, the Government opened its case against Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm with Katie Lin, the victim of a pig-butchering scam, whose money allegedly disappeared into Tornado Cash – or so she was told by a private fund recovery firm. But reports now circulate that Katie's funds never actually touched Storm's service. A central question in today's proceedings therefore was how the Government confirmed that Katie's funds did in fact go into Tornado Cash. That's the neat part: according to the Government's FBI blockchain tracing expert testifying today, he was never asked to.

So Crypto Rover tagged Grok to select a winner for a giveaway and it began replying about his involvement in pump and dump schemes and sketchy promotions and is refusing to select a winner.

Hi everyone, At @CoinDCX, we have always believed in being transparent with our community, hence I am sharing this with you directly. Today, one of our internal operational accounts - used only for liquidity provisioning on a partner exchange - was compromised due to a sophisticated server breach. I confirm that the CoinDCX wallets used to store customer assets are not impacted and are completely safe. Before I share further details on this, I would like to highlight that: -No customer funds have been impacted -Your assets remain completely safe and protected in our secure cold wallet infrastructure -All trading activity and INR withdrawals are fully operational The incident was quickly contained by isolating the affected operational account. Since our operational accounts are segregated from customer wallets, the exposure is only limited to this specific account and is being fully absorbed by us - from our own treasury reserves. Our internal security and operations teams have been working through the day along with leading cybersecurity partners to investigate the matter, patch any vulnerabilities and trace the movement of funds. We are collaborating with the exchange partner to block and recover assets, including coming out with a bug bounty program soon. Every security incident is a learning and we will learn from this and further strengthen our platform, more importantly this is our time to win this war against cyberthreats in the industry and we commit to work together with experts to secure our industry. I understand incidents like this can be unsettling - even when customer assets are unaffected. That's why I am sharing this incident with you with full transparency. Thank you for your continued trust. I will keep you informed on a real time basis as we learn more. 🙏

🚨SlowMist TI Alert🚨 The exchange @BigONEexchange was exploited due to a supply chain attack and loss exceeds $27 million. The production network was compromised, and the operating logic of account and risk control related servers was modified, enabling the attacker to withdraw funds.

The government has weaponized my old group chat to go after Roman Storm One of my former reporter colleagues asked all members of the TornadoCash/CoinDesk group chat to respond to the Axie hack. Prosecutors are presenting this message as Alexey Pertsev's. Reads a bit differently when you realize it wasn't him. (screenshot is mine)

does anyone have good prompts for basic deobfuscation + find key IOCs from a malicious payload/dropper/etc? e.g. we can hurl it in there and then tell it to check it's work and it usually gets the (correct) c2s...eventually. But there's a better way...right? 😅

10/ I find this behavior concerning and do not think he can just claim he does not know what he is doing. As he stated earlier that he could “pump projects from 1/2m to 10m easy” He is not the only influencer doing this and we as a space need to stop letting them do this time after time again to their followers.
