So, this is the moment of the year for us as the red guild, we have done a lot of work in these past weeks, in order to get to this moment, and I'm going to show you all what have we been up to.
But first, if you're in devcon, go by our booth, S103, next to OpenZeppelin's, where we have some interactive experiences. And you should book 4pm Wednesday 13th (Classroom B), "Don't get rekt4" a threat detection workshop (extended from what you've seen at DSS), which includes a hands on practice.
A SEAL security frameworks talk the 14th 4.10 PM (Stage 2).
And then, we have https://card.theredguild.org/ where you can generate your own password cards, get one printed at our booth along with some stickers. We have a devsecops field guide for our workshop called DevSecOops https://devsecoops.theredguild.org/.
Interactive stuff we got for you two fun things to play with, first a ctf, from our rektgames, https://therektgames.com/, where you can register and play now (already 80 registered) at https://ctf.therektgames.com/, and also a phishing dojo where we put your awareness skills to test by quizzing you in 15 real case scenarios at https://phishing.therektgames.com/.
Any feedback is welcome! And we hope you like this :), we've worked so hard with @tnch !

Sad day for privacy advocates and crypto, and a big win for the warrantless surveillance state and wholly unaccountable chain analytics firms (with their psuedo-scientific "forensics")

North Korean hacker group BlueNoroff is targeting crypto firms with a new malware that attacks MacOS. Once a user downloads and opens a decoy PDF, the malware is downloaded as a separate file on the MacOS desktop in the background to remotely access the victim's computer to steal private keys. — link

Beware of Scams Targeting Development Teams
Recently, a development company received a request to create a high-value product, but the process required completing a test task as a preliminary qualification. To begin, the team was instructed to download a project from Bitbucket. Upon inspection, they discovered suspicious activity in one of the files: a malicious code snippet known as a “stealer.”
What is a Stealer?
A “stealer” is malware designed to extract sensitive information from the victim’s system, including cryptocurrency wallets, browser-stored passwords, and other private data. Some stealers also install backdoors, allowing further unauthorized access to the compromised computer. This code often includes hexadecimal values and obfuscated strings, which only reveal their full intent during runtime.
For more information on stealers, refer to this Malwarebytes article.(https://lnkd.in/dfAv_cyJ)
In this case, the application immediately transmitted collected data to a remote server before installing a backdoor on the computer. The hacker had embedded their IP address, 138.201.199.46, as the destination for the stolen information—a significant oversight that aided in identifying the threat.
How to Protect Yourself
Unfortunately, this is not a first incident. To avoid falling victim to similar scams, always follow these best practices:
• Analyze Code Thoroughly: Avoid cloning or executing unverified code, especially on non-isolated environments. Always inspect unfamiliar code in a virtual machine to mitigate potential risks.
• Enhance Personal Security: Regularly audit your communication channels. Disable auto-downloads in messaging apps, enable multi-factor authentication (MFA), and be aware of SIM-swapping threats.
• Educate Yourself: Explore security resources like the following to strengthen your online defenses:

Stay vigilant, and remember that investing time in security today can protect you and your friends from significant losses in the future.

Dear friends, you can order an OpSec audit from me for you and your team/project.
I can conduct a series of trainings with you and your team, develop project-specific OpSec guidelines and answer all your questions.
This is about my personalized services. I do not do it on behalf of the company. Thank you! 🙏
Price is negotiated separately, depends on occupancy and number of days. You can count on 3-5 thousand dollars for everything (provided that there will not be any particularly costly cases).
• Can you share more information on the services included specifically?
• Mainly from potential dangers that may be encountered in Web3. Mainly OpSec, in particular, wallet security, social networks, multisig. In other words, everything that fits under OpSec including also workplace setup and basic security guideline including physical security. These includes lectures for team, personal consultations, creation of project-specific guidelines. Typical duration - 1-2 weeks, depends on complexity.
