ChainCatcher news, Corn co-founder Zak Cole posted on the X platform that Bitcoin was created out of thin air due to a bug on August 15, 2010, resulting in approximately 184 billion BTC. This "value overflow event" caused two wallets to receive about 92.2 billion BTC. Satoshi Nakamoto and several other developers (including Jeff Garzik and Gavin Andresen) released a new client version with a soft fork five hours later to prevent similar incidents in the future, and all nodes upgraded at block 74691, with the new chain replacing the old one.Zak Cole stated that this event illustrates that Bitcoin's scarcity is actually protected by people, not code. The only reason Bitcoin did not perish that day was that someone noticed the issue and published a fix, and the invalid blocks were removed from consensus within five hours. Bitcoin was saved not because of the protocol, but because of the people running the protocol; this is the truth behind the "decentralization of trust" narrative. The code did not save Bitcoin; the community did.

ChainCatcher news, Zhu Su, co-founder of Three Arrows Capital, stated that the rise of CeDeFi is the biggest negative for Ethereum, as it means that a large amount of business logic that was originally expected to run on distributed networks as open-source smart contracts has actually turned into closed-source code running on a single server.Zhu Su believes that Ethereum needs to embrace use cases that benefit from global distributed computing and anti-censorship characteristics, including some cypherpunk-style applications (such as privacy protection) and yet-to-be-developed low-hanging fruits.He pointed out that if Ethereum itself does not perform well, decentralized finance will find it difficult to rise again, because in a world where validator decentralization and demand for smart contracts are low, people can choose to operate off-chain to save time and money.

ChainCatcher news, according to Bitcoin.com, a covert malware campaign is hijacking cryptocurrency wallets by embedding malicious code in fake open-source projects on Github, tricking developers into executing hidden payloads.A cyber attack campaign named Gitvenom has been targeting Github users by embedding malicious code into seemingly legitimate open-source projects. Researchers Georgy Kucherin and Joao Godinho discovered this operation, where cybercriminals create fraudulent repositories that mimic real software tools. The method of embedding malicious code varies depending on the programming language used in the fake projects.

ChainCatcher news, Slow Mist posted on platform X stating that the devices of Safe developers were compromised, leading to the injection of malicious code into the frontend, which intercepted and modified transaction parameters. After a quick verification, it was found that there was indeed malicious code behind the js files of the Safe frontend, and the related address (0xbdd077f651ebe7f7b3ce16fe5f2b025be2969516) is involved in the malicious execution contract that siphoned off 1.5 billion assets from ByBit.

ChainCatcher message, Bybit co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou released a hacker forensics report provided by Sygnia and Verichains on the X platform, which disclosed that malicious code was deployed at 15:29:25 UTC on February 19, specifically targeting Bybit's Ethereum multi-signature cold wallet.

ChainCatcher news, Safe responded on platform X to Bybit's hacking forensic report, stating that the forensic review of the targeted attack by the Lazarus Group on Bybit concluded that the attack on Bybit Safe was executed through compromised Safe{Wallet} developer machines, leading to disguised malicious transactions.Lazarus is a government-backed North Korean hacking organization known for its complex social engineering attacks on developer credentials, sometimes combined with zero-day vulnerabilities. The forensic review by external security researchers did not indicate any vulnerabilities in the Safe smart contracts or the source code of the front end and services.Following the recent incident, the Safe{Wallet} team conducted a thorough investigation and has now phased the restoration of Safe{Wallet} on the Ethereum mainnet. The Safe{Wallet} team has completely rebuilt and reconfigured all infrastructure and rotated all credentials to ensure the complete elimination of the attack vector.After the final results of the investigation are released, the Safe{Wallet} team will publish a complete post-mortem analysis. The Safe{Wallet} front end is still operational and has implemented additional security measures. However, users need to be extra cautious and vigilant when signing transactions.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Kaspersky has discovered that hackers are using GitHub for "GitVenom" attacks, which have been active for at least two years and are on the rise. Hackers create GitHub repositories disguised as legitimate projects, such as Telegram bots for managing Bitcoin wallets or computer game tools, but they hide malicious code within them.Attackers use Python and JavaScript code to implant Trojan viruses, which steal passwords, encrypted wallet information, and hijack Bitcoin transaction addresses after infecting victims' devices. In November 2024, a developer lost over $400,000 in Bitcoin due to this attack. GitVenom primarily affects countries such as Russia, Brazil, and Turkey, and continues to spread globally.Kaspersky advises developers to carefully review the authenticity of projects before running code, and to be wary of overly optimized README files and suspicious code commit histories.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, cybersecurity company Kaspersky recently released research showing that hackers are creating hundreds of fake projects on the GitHub platform to lure users into downloading malware that steals cryptocurrency and credentials. Kaspersky has named this malware activity "GitVenom."Kaspersky analyst Georgy Kucherin pointed out in a report on February 24 that these fake projects include Telegram bots for managing Bitcoin wallets and tools for automating Instagram account interactions. Hackers carefully design project documentation, possibly using AI tools to generate content, and artificially increase the number of project "commits" to make the projects appear to be actively developed.According to Kaspersky's investigation, these malicious projects can be traced back at least two years. Regardless of how the projects are presented, they contain malicious components, such as information-stealing tools that upload saved credentials, cryptocurrency wallet data, and browsing history through Telegram, as well as clipboard hijackers that replace cryptocurrency wallet addresses. In November 2023, a user lost 5 Bitcoins (approximately $442,000) as a result. Kaspersky advises users to carefully check the behavior of third-party code before downloading.
