When Cotten tells Robertson he won $900k in an “online casino game,” she does not think to follow up on the nature of this win (spoiler: it was almost certainly money rerouted from Quadriga customers). She does not question why, days before his death, he refused to list Quadriga in their will, demanding that “If I die, the company dies with me.” Citizens who lost anywhere from paychecks to life savings thanks to Quadriga’s fraud have quite loudly observed how Cotten’s name was misspelled on his death certificate, how the death announcement was delayed a month, and how there was a closed casket with no autopsy as well as embalming irregularities.

Wittgenstein's ladder for a next-level darknet?

The essence of zero-knowledge proofs is that, while it is trivial to prove that one possesses knowledge of certain information by simply revealing it; the challenge is to prove such possession without revealing the information itself or any additional information How do you access the contents of a safe without ever opening its lock or otherwise getting inside? This riddle may seem confounding, but its digital equivalent is now so solvable that it’s becoming a business plan. IBM is the latest innovator to tackle the well-studied cryptographic technique called fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), which allows for the processing of encrypted files without ever needing to decrypt them first. https://thenewinquiry.com/blog/zero-knowledge-proofs/ Reposts etc

A fearsome new botnet is rapidly gaining momentum
by jim bell 07 Aug '22

A fearsome new botnet is rapidly gaining momentum https://share.newsbreak.com/1juxwgz5 An old, infamous trojan has been forked, with the new variant being used to attack Linux SSH servers, experts have warned. However, unlike the original malware, whose purpose was quite clear, researchers are not yet sure what the operators are up to this time around. Cybersecurity researchers from Fortinet detected IoT malware with unusual SSH-related strings, and after digging a bit deeper, discovered RapperBot, a variant of the dreaded Mirai trojan. Access for sale? RapperBot was first deployed in mid-June 2022, and is being used to brute-force into Linux SSH servers and gain persistence on the endpoints. RapperBot borrows quite a lot from Mirai, but it does have its own command and control (C2) protocol, as well as certain unique features. But unlike Mirai, whose goal was to spread to as many devices as possible, and then use those devices to mount devastating Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, RapperBot is spreading with more control, and has limited (sometimes even completely disabled) DDoS capabilities. The researchers’ first impression is that the malware might be used for lateral movement within a target network, and as the first stage in a multi-stage attack. It could be also used simply to gain access to the target devices, access which could later be sold on the black market. The researchers came to this conclusion, among other things, due to the fact that the trojan sits idly, once it compromises a device.
