Coherent assessments of the American intelligence community of Russia’s activity in cyberspace and the threat it poses for the United States would, however, indicate that such a change in approach could endanger the United States.

Eight days have passed since the cryptocurrency exchange exchange revealed that the pirates stole a value of $ 1.4 billion in assets based on Ethereum to the company, a breakage which is by certain measures the largest flight of crypto in history. Now, the race is underway to follow the stolen funds through blockchains, prevent its liquidation, or even recover it – and this race is propelled by 140 million dollars in bonuses offered by the appeal itself. Bybit earlier this week launched a website Where he invites Crypto detectives to submit advice on the destination of his stolen Ethereum funds and offering as a reward 5% of the value of all funds that these tracers can identify and help freeze or grasp. Bybit offered an additional 5% of value as a separate reward for any crypto exchange or other platform that obtains the funds.

The site also includes a classification of tracers that have succeeded in identifying the sections of funds by following them through blockchains or frozen funds – as well as a list of Crypto exchanges which, on the other hand, liquidated the stolen funds for the names of the thieves. So far, only one exchange, known as ECH, has been reported as liquidating $ 94 million in stolen assets. Bybit notes that Exch refused to respond to his messages, and the exchange did not respond to a request for comment from the BBC.
Earlier this week, the FBI took the unusual measure to publicly identify the pirates behind this massive bybet hack: Traderraitor, a group of cybercriminals sponsored by the State working on behalf of the North Korean government.

The Crypto TRM Labs tracing company wrote in a job Thursday that around $ 400 million in funds have already been moved and may have been successfully liquidated.
In July, an entity called “Nullbulge” published a 1,1 TB data stolen in the Disney internal slack archives, making a frantic cleaning effort while Disney was rushed to understand the disclosed income numbers, employees information such as passport numbers and information with sensitive customers. The violation occurred after a Disney employee, Matthew Van Andel, inadvertently downloaded malware to his personal computer which has collected its connection identification information for a certain number of services, in particular, above all, the password of its 1 Password identification box. “It is impossible to transmit the feeling of violation,” he told Wall Street Journal.

Mattia Ferrari, an Italian priest who works with a migrant rescue group and has a close relationship with the Pope, revealed this week that he had received a Meta warning that his phone had been hacked with sophisticated spy software from the Israeli parangon. The news follows the revelations according to which Luca Casarini, the founder of the NGO Mediterranea saving humans, where Ferrari was chaplain, also made her phone compromise by spy software, just like the Italian investigation journalist Francesco Cancelato.
