SlowMist Yuxian: CEX users’ assets worth millions of dollars were stolen by malicious counter-trading again

SlowMist founder Yu Xian posted on X platform that another user's CEX account was maliciously hacked, resulting in the theft of millions of dollars in assets. The team is currently analyzing and following up on the incident.

According to Yu Xian, there are many attack methods targeting the CEX web platform, such as the previous malicious extension that took away cookies, as well as clipboard attacks, form tampering, and request tampering. In addition to malicious extensions, reverse proxy phishing, Trojan viruses, and other methods are also feasible. The web platform has many vulnerabilities, so risk control strategies must be higher than those of the app platform.

  • Money Routers

    Hello,Crypto’s killer application is already here in the form of stablecoins. In 2023, Visa did close to $15 trillion in transaction volume.

Since 2019, $221 trillion in stablecoins have been exchanged between wallets.Over the past few years, the equivalent of global GDPs has been moving through our blockchains. Over time, this capital has accumulated in different networks. Users switch between protocols for better financial opportunities or lower transfer costs. With the arrival of chain abstraction, users may not even know they are using a bridge.
  • PvP

    PvP, or “player vs. player,” is a phrase used often by shitcoin traders to describe this current market cycle. The sentiment it evokes is predatory, where winning comes at the expense of others. That is so TradFi. The express purpose of the crypto capital markets is to allow those who risk their precious capital to enjoy the fruits of being “early” into projects that hopefully will grow apace with Web3. But oh, how we have strayed from the enlightened path laid down for us by Lord Satoshi and then subsequently Archangel Vitalik with his very successful Ether initial coin offering (ICO).

  • Trump promises to end double taxation of Americans abroad

    US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said in a statement to overseas voters that he will terminate the collection of income tax from Americans living in other countries. This is the latest tax proposal in his 2024 election campaign. This commitment can simplify the tax obligations of American citizens living overseas. Americans living anywhere in the world must submit tax information to the US Internal Revenue Service and must pay US taxes in addition to paying taxes in their country of residence. This commitment requires congressional approval and, according to the US State Department, could potentially reduce the tax bills of approximately 9 million Americans living overseas. (Jinshi)

    Sometimes I get obsessed about certain topics to the point where I can’t stop reading about them and every adjacent topic required to understand that topic.

Rather than re-explaining it all multiple times I thought why not just write an article to consolidate my knowledge into one blog post. This is that post.

  • Putin: Russia "supports" Harris, calls her smile "contagious"

    According to foreign media such as TASS and Russia's Sputnik News, Jinse Finance reported that on the afternoon of September 5th local time, Russian President Putin said at the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum 2024 that Russia will "support" the US Democratic Party presidential candidate and vice president Harris as recommended by the US President Biden in the upcoming US presidential election. When asked how he viewed the 2024 US election, Putin said it was the choice of the American people. The new US president will be elected by the American people, and Russia will respect the choice of the American people. Putin also said that just as Biden suggested his supporters to support Harris, "we will do the same, we will support her." The report said that Putin also joked that Harris' laughter is "expressive and infectious," which shows that "she is doing everything well." He added that this may mean that she will avoid further sanctions against Russia.

Consumer spending has declined in most regions, while in the previous reporting period, consumer spending remained stable overall.
