We’re excited to announce that the Crypto Asset Tracing Handbook is finally here! 🎉 It’s not a dense research paper or a highly technical manual — our goal is to present clear, practical guidance to help more people: ✅Understand the basic framework of on-chain tracing ✅Learn how to use tracing tools ✅Build better judgment & response skills when facing on-chain risks 🤔Many people think: “Crypto assets are on-chain, every tx is public — recovering funds should be easy, right?” 🙅Not quite. Visibility is only the first step — recoverability is a whole different challenge. Even if you can see the fund flow clearly, you might still have no way to freeze or recover the assets. That’s why we believe on-chain tracing basics should not be an exclusive skill for security researchers or hackers — it should be essential knowledge for everyone in the crypto ecosystem. 📖GitHub Version: https://t.co/yizPo1b2Ks 📖PDF Version: https://t.co/C5E9pCzX0Y

🚨Attackers often distribute malicious files through #LinkedIn#, #Discord#, and #Telegram#. To stay safe, here are key tips 🛡️: 🔹 Beware of fake jobs asking you to run code from GitHub. Verify identities via official sites. 🔹 Always review unknown code & authors. Use VMs/sandboxes for testing. 🔹 Disable auto-downloads in chat apps. Scan files before opening. 🔹 Enable MFA and regularly update strong, unique passwords 🔗Read more: https://t.co/WOWgbEgeqA

🚨 A fake Ledger scam is making waves again - but it’s not new 🚨 🧵 This phishing dates back to 2021. Victims receive a fake Ledger device in the mail - complete with real-looking packaging and an “official” letter. You’re told to migrate your 24 words from your “old” (real) Ledger to this new (fake) one. 🪤The scam exploits user data from past breaches - name, email and address. You’re told: “Your old device is compromised. Enter your seed phrase into this new secure one.” Once entered - all assets are gone. The fake Ledger is preloaded with malware. 🎭These scams often include: 🔹 Fake user manuals 🔹 Fake “Ledger” software 🔹 Realistic device designs Some variants even use preset recovery phrases, tricking users into using a wallet the attacker already controls. 📦 Such attacks do work - especially when: 🔹Your order info was leaked 🔹You fall for fake stores or phishing sites selling counterfeit hardware wallets 🔹Your Low awareness around device authenticity checks 🧠These attacks may seem “too physical to scale” - but they don’t need to succeed often. It’s a spray-and-pray model. No confirmed cases of tampering during delivery - but don’t risk it.⚠️ 🎯See recap: 🔍 Ledger’s breach: https://t.co/2XaC94QRV1 🔍 Trezor leak: https://t.co/djm36qxo5u 🔍 Fake imKey cases: https://t.co/Y1MVhWcCoT 🔐 How to protect yourself? ✅ Only enter your 24 words on a device you initialized 🚫 Never trust devices from unknown sources ✅ Always verify authenticity via the official brand website 🚫 Don’t fall for unsolicited packages, emails, or “support” messages 📚 Knowledge = prevention. We maintain a public archive of real-world blockchain hacks, just search by keyword or project name to see if there’s a history of breaches or fraud: 🔎 https://t.co/e90CSvTm6B 🧱 Security starts with verifying the hardware you trust.

🚨SlowMist Security Alert🚨 A user lost over $20K after visiting a fake @ChangeNOW_io site. 📌Notice the letter “e” in Pic 1? It’s a #Punycode# attack — a trick we’ve covered in the blockchain dark forest selfguard handbook(Pic 2). ⚠️Beware of browser recommendations — they may suggest phishing sites. Always verify URLs from multiple sources. Here’s a simple way to find the correct official site: 1️⃣ X Verification Users often rely on the website link shown in a project’s official X account. But don’t trust it blindly — always check the account’s follower count, verification badge, and registration date.⚠️These can be faked. So don’t stop here — proceed to cross-verify. 2️⃣ Cross-Verification Use trusted platforms like @DefiLlama, @coingecko, or @CoinMarketCap to confirm the domain matches the one on X. 3️⃣ Bookmark It 🛡️For more attack patterns and security tips, check out the blockchain dark forest selfguard handbook: https://t.co/v6lrUYgrI9 Stay vigilant! #Phishing# #CryptoSecurity# #Web3#

🚨 Ethereum's Pectra upgrade (EIP-7702) is live — a major leap forward, but new functionality brings new risks. Here’s what users, wallet providers, developers, and exchanges should watch out for: 🧠 🛡️ For Users: ✅Private key protection should always be a priority. ✅Be aware that the same contract address on different chains may not always have the same contract code. ✅Understand the details of the delegated target before proceeding. 🔍 For Wallet providers: ✅Check if the chain of the delegation matches the current network. ✅Warn users about the risks of delegations signed with a chainID of 0 that could be replayed across different chains. ✅Display the target contract when users sign delegations to reduce the risk of phishing attacks. 🧑‍💻 For Developers: ✅Ensure permission checks are performed during wallet initialization (e.g., via ecrecover to verify the signing address). ✅Follow the Namespace Formula proposed in ERC-7201 to mitigate storage conflicts. ✅Don't assume that tx.origin will always be an EOA, using msg.sender == tx.origin as a defense against reentrancy attacks will no longer be effective. ✅Ensure that the target contract for the user’s delegation implements the necessary callback functions to ensure compatibility with mainstream tokens. 🏦 For CEXs: ✅Run trace checks on deposits to mitigate the risk of fake deposits from smart contracts. 📚 Full best practices & in-depth analysis: https://t.co/IvphpT07rA

🚨SlowMist Security Alert🚨 The root cause of the @th3r0ar exploit was the presence of a backdoor in the contract During deployment, the R0ARStaking contract altered the balance (user.amount) of a specified address by directly modifying storage slots. Subsequently, the attacker extracted all funds from the contract through an emergency withdrawal function. https://t.co/3G0Z1GTjt6
