OneKeyCN: How can a Permit signature defraud user assets?
Author | OneKeyCN
Test yourself, do you still think that as long as I don’t initiate a transaction and just sign and “connect and log in” to the website, I won’t lose my assets?
If you nodded, then maybe your security awareness remains at the level of 21 years ago.
According to the phishing report published by Scam Sniffer in March 2024, 90% of the phished assets were ERC-20 tokens. The main phishing method among them is Permit/Permit2 phishing signatures.
In mid-March of this year alone, there were 4 stolen transactions with an average asset value of approximately US$2 million, 3 of which were Pendle PT principal tokens stolen by Permit phishing signatures.

Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr releases method to filter Runes spam
Wu said that Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr tweeted that the only way to filter out Runes spam using Bitcoin Knots or Bitcoin Core is to set datacarriersize=0 in the bitcoin.conf file (or make the same setting in the Knots GUI options). Last December, Luke Dashjr launched a fierce attack on Ordinals and called for the ban of Ordinals inscriptions, which caused widespread controversy. After Runes went online yesterday, it once pushed the Bitcoin network transaction fee to more than 2,000 sat/vb, and has now fallen back to about 100 sat/vb (about $9).

Wu said that he learned that security researcher dm tweeted: Be careful when downloading and running Web3 projects on Github. An open source project was found to steal user Solana private keys. checkrug py used base64/zlib loop encoding and then secretly executed. In response to this, Yu Xian, the founder of SlowMist, tweeted: This open source bot has backdoor code for stealing private keys. If you are not familiar with the code, you need to be vigilant when you see fancy code (garbled code). Crypto is all about open source, and open source generally provides highly readable code. In addition, the author seems to have deleted the backdoor file.

Satoshi Nakamoto’s first collaborator, sophomore Martti Malmi, revealed in an email: I want to help Bitcoin, is there anything I can do?

In 2009, Martti Malmi @marttimalmi, who was a second-year undergraduate at the Helsinki University of Technology, accidentally browsed bitcoin.org and sent an email to Satoshi Nakamoto: "I would like to help with Bitcoin, if there's something I can do."
To be honest, this was a pretty sloppy job application email. But from then on, the gears of fate began to turn.
Martti Malmi became Satoshi Nakamoto's first collaborator and the person Satoshi Nakamoto trusted the most. His life has been changed by Bitcoin. There has always been a legend in the cryptocurrency circle about college students "all in" and getting rich overnight. Martti must be the ancestor of this legend.
