Next week at IEEE Security & Privacy, our own Aviv Frenkel, will present our new research paper on a flaw in TON’s ADNL-TCP layer. Here's a quick snippet of what was found: 1️⃣Keystream reuse made ADNL vulnerable to a replay “two-time-pad” attack. 2️⃣A MITM could deanonymize users or spoof wallet balances 3️⃣Disclosed via TON’s bug-bounty and patched fast—credit to TON for their professionalism 👀 Full paper and blog coming soon!

🚨 What Went Wrong in Bybit’s $1.1B Hack? 🚨 If you haven’t heard already, attackers tricked signers into approving a malicious contract upgrade, gaining full control of the wallet. Here’s what made it possible: 🔴 Verification gap – Hardware wallets couldn’t verify complex contract changes. 🔴 No admin safeguards – Contract upgrades weren’t treated as high-risk actions. At Fordefi, we address these risks with multi-factor approvals, role-based policies, and secure admin workflows. 📖 Read the full breakdown from our CTO, @DimaKogan: medium.com/fordefi/critical-…
