Building this out is going to make a huge impact to end users. Taking the burden of understanding technical “jargon” and making it readable and easy to understand when they are likely being scammed.

Internet vs. Web - People interchange these two terms, but they’re fundamentally different. I’ve got a post coming out soon on behalf of covering Web2 vs. Web3, the evolution of Web3, and combatting terms like ‘crypto’ and ‘blockchain’

Builders just want to build a good product for their users. Often not caring as much about security framework guarantees. Web2 didn’t, Web3 should. are here to help and guide builders and end users. Let’s make security transparent, flexible, and human readable!

This just shows how more and more Web3 threats are using Web2 vectors as initial entry points. Protecting your 'traditional' assets is just as important as secure smart contract development.

1/ @deBridgeFinance has been the subject of an attempted cyberattack, apparently by the Lazarus group. PSA for all teams in Web3, this campaign is likely widespread.

A North Korean cybercrime group is actively targeting financial institutions, mostly in crypto/web3. DKIM/DMARC/SPF are your best friends, be very vigilant. I wouldn't be surprised if the wave of Twitter crypto/web3 account compromises is linked to this campaign.

Great thread covering why cross-chain bridges are targets for bad actors looking to exploit the still very young tech
Quote Tweet
Let's talk Cross-Chain Bridges. The demand for moving gained/earned assets on one network to another increases every day. The amount flowing through bridges is enormous. There is currently over $80.4B in TVL in various DeFi protocols. So...how secure are blockchain bridges?

A lot of people seem to think Web3 is secure by default, which is so far from the truth. Web2 cyber security concepts are still relevant, as are "old school" threats. are doing a lot of work behind the scenes around this one!

This was not a "Blockchain Hack". It was a "Traditional Hack" I've been begging protocols to focus on traditional security too alongside blockchain security for months now.... ps the convex compromise earlier today was also not blockchain related. twitter.com/Mudit__Gupta/s

Another example of how web2 security impacts web3. If you ever need assistance with understanding security across both web2 and web3 then DM and we can support you

Ribbon Finance suffered a DNS hijacking attack. On-chain analysis showed that it was the same attacker as Convex. One victim lost 16.5 WBTC. Transaction details etherscan.io/tx/0xd09057f1f twitter.com/ribbonfinance/

You predicted this in an earlier tweet “the next big blockchain hack is not going to be a ‘blockchain hack’”. We need to educate projects to better protect their private keys and understand risks and possible threats.

Harmony Protocol's Horizon bridge was hacked and $100 million were drained earlier today. The bridge was essentially a 2 of 5 multisig. If any 2 addresses told it to transfer funds to someone, it did. The hacker compromised 2 addresses and made them drain the money. 🧵👇

MetaMask has patched this issue already, so just make sure you’re running the latest. For those that want additional protection then migrate funds to a newly generated wallet address or hardware wallet.

1. Your hard drive was unencrypted 2. You imported an SRP into MetaMask (v10.11.2 or older) on a computer that’s compromised or in possession of someone you do not trust 3. You used the “Show Secret Recovery Phrase” checkbox to view your SRP onscreen during the import process

While this is not ideal it’s also not as bad as some are making it out. For a user to be vulnerable they need the 3 conditions to be met:

Security researchers at @HalbornSecurity have disclosed a wallet vulnerability that affects a small segment of users across many browser-based wallets, including MetaMask. medium.com/metamask/secur 1/ 🧵

The importance of threat modeling can't be ignored. There's a decent amount of resources out there for Web2 but no repository of known threat models, attack steps, and associated controls yet for Web3. It's something we're also building (opensource OFC)

Amazing write up of from , , , on how security considerations differ across the development life cycle. We at can support any project with threat modeling and helping you design your smart contracts securely.

In web3: security is not only of utmost importance, but also cannot be over-simplified to a checkbox for audit. To help, @ajbeal, @nassyweazy, @cseifert, and I put together the following guide for thinking about smart contract security at every step 🧵 a16zcrypto.com/smart-contract
