Crypto wallet flaw can steal billions from early adopters, startup claims

Cybersecurity startup Unciphered has unveiled a deep security flaw in crypto wallet s that it stumbled upon, that it says has the potential to steal at least $1 billion from traders and up to $2.1 billion . On Tuesday, Unciphered published information on what it calls Randstorm: a vulnerability in web browser-generated self-custody wallets made between 2011 and 2015. Wallets generated by BitcoinJS and derivative projects can be affected due to the popular JavaScript library borrowing vulnerable open-source software from a Stanford student over a decade ago. BitcoinJS was used by many projects in the early 2010s — some are still active, like BitAddress and Bitco. Several blockchains can also be affected, including Dogecoin, Litecoin, and Zcash, Unnciphered said. Unciphered has apparently alerted millions of affected users to the crypto wallet flaw. It urges them to immediately transfer assets to a wallet made after 2016. Client selfies and data stolen from bankrupt Bit...

On June 5, blockchain compliance analytics firm Elliptic reported that its Investigations Team has traced funds from the $35 million Atomic Wallet hack to crypto mixer Sinbad.io. It claims the mixing service was previously used to launder more than $100 million in crypto assets stolen by North Korea’s Lazarus Group.

Examples of these fake websites include a site pretending to be a project associated with the World Cup, as well as sites that impersonate well-known NFT marketplaces such as OpenSea, X2Y2 and Rarible. SlowMist said one of the tactics used was having these decoy websites offer “malicious Mints,” which involves deceiving the victims into thinking they are minting a legitimate NFT by connecting their wallet to the...
