SlowMist collaborates with Bitget to release the AI Agent Trading Security Report: revealing new threats such as prompt injection and plugin poisoning, advocating for the establishment of a security red line for Web3 automated trading through "minimum privilege APIs, sub-account isolation, and human-machine confirmation signatures."

Iran's largest cryptocurrency trading platform, Nobitex, has suffered a hacker attack, with on-chain detectives ZachXBT and the Slow Mist team confirming losses of up to $81.7 million. The hacker group "Looting Sparrow" claims responsibility for the incident, having not only stolen assets but also deliberately transferred nearly $100 million worth of cryptocurrency to a specially created burn address. The attack involved multiple public chains, including TRON, EVM, and BTC, and the hackers subsequently released the platform's source code. Slow Mist recommends that exchanges strengthen the isolation of hot and cold wallets, deploy real-time monitoring systems, and improve emergency response mechanisms. This incident once again highlights the urgency of security protection in the cryptocurrency industry.

Cetus was attacked due to a smart contract overflow vulnerability, allowing attackers to exchange a minimal cost for massive liquidity, resulting in losses exceeding $230 million. Some assets have been frozen, and the vulnerability has been fixed.

This series aims to analyze malicious tactics through desensitized real cases, helping users learn how to protect their assets.

When developers are creating zero-knowledge proof circuits, they need to pay attention to selecting the appropriate framework based on requirements and ensure that a comprehensive security audit of the application has been conducted before the project goes live.

According to statistics, there were a total of 295 security incidents in 2022, with losses reaching 3.728 billion dollars. This is a decrease of about 62% compared to 9.795 billion dollars in 2021, but this does not include assets lost due to market turmoil.

The overall development trend of the blockchain industry is getting better, but cryptocurrency crimes are also becoming more rampant.
