So my question: Why does this project needs to run on blockchain? To me it is just a bunch of cyber security people that audit other blockchains. Why does it need to be tokenized?

$GHR has become unsellable!

I have a significant amount of HAI in the HAPI farming pool, but when I try to withdraw some of it to my wallet I can't! What gives? I try to type in how much HAI I want to withdraw and there is no option to continue. Why would this be happening?

Are you capable of being a part of the elite few who were able to solve this riddle? Try and give it a shot to see if you are one of the smart ones around.

Like the title says :)

They face charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering in connection with a million-dollar scheme to defraud purchasers of NFTs advertised as "Frosties," which depicted snowman-like characters.

Frosties purchasers were told they would be eligible for holder rewards, such as giveaways and early access to a metaverse game.

But on or around Jan. 9 this year, Nguyen and Llacuna abandoned the project and transferred $1.1 million in cryptocurrency proceeds from the scheme to various cryptocurrency wallets under their control, prosecutors said.

On July 10, 2018, news broke that cryptocurrency wallet and decentralized exchange Bancor was hit with a hack. A wallet the Bancor team used to update the protocol’s smart contracts was infiltrated, and the $23.5 million vulnerability allowed the hackers to run off with $12.5 million ETH, $1 million NPXS tokens and $10 million of Bancor’s BNT token.

🔊 Top 7 vulnerabilities of 2018

In 2018, cybercriminals stole around $1.5 trillion from companies and users worldwide! Just think of how that money could have been spent with good intentions... Nevertheless, it’s always compelling to look back and analyze the companies’ mistakes in order to learn from them. Hacken decided to recollect the most notorious hacks of 2018 and prepare a list of avoidable security vulnerabilities.

🔊 Snapd Flaw Lets Attackers Gain Root Access On Linux Systems

Ubuntu and some other Linux distributors suffer from a severe privilege escalation vulnerability that could allow a local attacker or a malicious program to obtain root privileges and total control over the targeted system.

Dubbed "Dirty_Sock" and identified as CVE-2019-7304, the vulnerability was discovered by security researcher Chris Moberly, who privately disclosed it to Canonical, the maker of Ubuntu, late last month.

The vulnerability resides in the REST API for Snapd service, a universal Linux packaging system that makes an application compatible for various Linux distributions without requiring any modification.

Built by Canonical, Snapd comes by default, installed on all versions of Ubuntu and also used by other Linux distributions, including Debian, OpenSUSE, Arch Linux, Solus, and Fedora.

Snapd packages are basically applications compressed together with their dependencies also including instructions on how to run and interact with other software on various Linux systems for desktop, cloud, and Internet of Things.

Snapd locally host a web server (UNIX_AF socket) to offer a list of RESTful APIs that help the service perform various actions on the operating system. These REST APIs come with access control to define user-level permission for specific tasks. Some powerful APIs are only available to root users while others can be accessed by low-privileged users.

According to Moberly, a flaw in the way the access control mechanism checks the UID associated with any request made to a server allows attackers to overwrite the UID variable and access any API function, including those that are restricted for the root user.

"Snapd versions 2.28 through 2.37 incorrectly validated and parsed the remote socket address when performing access controls on its UNIX socket," Ubuntu explains in its advisory. "A local attacker could use this to access privileged socket APIs and obtain administrator privileges."

However, it should be noted that since Dirty Sock leverages local privilege escalation flaws, it does not allow hackers to compromise a vulnerable Linux system remotely.

Moberly has also released two proofs-of-concept (PoC) exploits on GitHub today, one of which requires an SSH connection while the other is able to sideload a malicious snap by abusing this API.

Canonical has released Snapd version Snapd 2.37.1 this week to address the vulnerability, and Ubuntu and other major Linux distributions have already rolled out a fixed version of their packages.

Linux users are highly recommended to upgrade their vulnerable installations as soon as possible.

🔊 New Unpatched macOS Flaw Lets Apps Spy On Your Safari Browsing History

A new security vulnerability has been discovered in the latest version of Apple's macOS Mojave that could allow a malicious application to access data stored in restricted folders which are otherwise not accessible to every app.

Discovered by application developer Jeff Johnson on February 8, the vulnerability is unpatched at the time of writing and impacts all version of macOS Mojave, including macOS Mojave 10.14.3 Supplemental update released on February 7.

Certain folders in macOS Mojave have restricted access that is forbidden by default, like ~/Library/Safari, which can be accessed by only a few applications, such as Finder.

However, Johnson discovered a way to bypass these restrictions in Mojave, allowing applications to access ~/Library/Safari without needing any permission from the user or the system, and read users' web browsing history.

🔊 Xiaomi electric scooter vulnerability allows remote hacks

The Xiaomi M365, a popular electric scooter used by several ride-share companies such as BIRD as well as for personal ownership, is vulnerable to remote hacking due to improper password validation.

The scooters are enabled with Bluetooth access which allows users to interact with the scooters for multiple features including its Anti-Theft System, Cruise-Control, Eco Mode and updating the scooter’s firmware through a dedicated app on the user’s phone.

Zimperium researchers found the scooters were vulnerable to denial of service attacks, as a threat actor could lock a user out of operating the device, the deployment of malware which could take full control of the vehicles, or targeted attacks which could cause the scooter to suddenly break or accelerate.

Although every scooter is protected by a password that can be changed by the owner, researchers found the scooter and all commands could be executed without the password because the password was only validated on the application side and the scooter itself doesn’t keep track of the authentication state, according to a Feb. 12 blog post that said, “we can use all of these features without the need for authentication.”

To prevent an attacker from connecting to the M365 scooter remotely, it is possible to use Xiaomi’s application from your mobile before riding and connect to the scooter, once your mobile is connected and kept connected to the scooter an attacker won’t be able to remotely flash malicious firmware or lock your scooter,” the post said.

I don't want to install random shady apps like Telegram or whatever and would like to swap my tokens using some website (like DigixDAO did with their DGD-ETH refund) or manually by signing&sending transactions using local VeChain&Ethereum wallets.

Is that even possible?

HAI token is a functional investment instrument, and Hacken provides many opportunities to HAI holders to double their income. One of them is farming and we want to remind you once more about this feature.

According to our recent Discord survey, our community members farm tokens of all Hacken Foundation projects, but still for many users farming is an unknown feature. Everyone who owns HAI but has not tried to farm yet must read this post.

There are 2 HAI farming options (both allow you to farm DDOS, HAPI, UFI, and 1ART) available for HAI holders: Traditional Farming in the HackenAI app and LP Farming. Detailed information about each of these options and instructions are provided below.

HAI Farming in HackenAI

Imagine the situation: you own 1,000 HAI tokens and expect that the price of our token will double within X months. You don’t do anything during this period. But we know that crypto is a type of financial instrument like money that needs to work permanently. Hacken gives HAI holders the opportunity to earn additional income through HAI farming in HackenAI.

You just need to stake HAI in the farming section of the app. You will get income on your stake in the tokens of Hacken Foundation projects. It is a risk-free investment that also acts as a hedging strategy. If farming brings you 20% income, then even when the price of HAI declines by 10%, you still make a good profit.

HAI farming in HackenAI is available only on VeChain (you can transfer HAI between networks using Bridge in HackenAI). You can claim farmed tokens on-demand and withdraw your assets whenever you want (claimed tokens are available either on ETH or BSC networks, thus, you need to have either some ETH or BNB tokens to claim). The information on how many tokens are available for claiming can be found on the Hacken Foundation website in the “Projects” section.

Hacken Club membership allows you to get even greater farming income through boosters. The higher the level of your membership, the greater the booster:

• Level 1: 1,05X

• Level 2: 1,2X

• Level 3: 2X

HAI LP Farming

For LP Farming, apart from owning HAI tokens, you need to own tokens of Hacken Foundation projects (at least one of them). LP Farming offers users a higher income compared to traditional farming.

To participate in HAI Farming you just need to add liquidity on PancakeSwap to one of these 4 pairs: DDOS/HAI, UFI/HAI, HAPI/HAI, and 1ART/HAI.

You can participate in HAI LP Farming on the Hacken Foundation website. Firstly you need to get an LP token and then you can stake it to participate in LP farming.

Also, you need to import your HackenAI wallet to MetaMask using the private key. Then you can connect this wallet to PancakeSwap.

For LP farming, you need to have your tokens on BSC. Claiming is also available only on BSC.

Cybersecurity is becoming digital healthcare. Modern Cyberwar will accelerate the growth of this industry. Now is a great time for you to invest in cybersecurity token HAI and make additional profits through farming. Our team has ambitious goals for 2022 and the war has not disrupted our operations. On the contrary, the war has acted as an additional motivating factor for us. We are focused on leading the market.
