DeFi lending protocol Abracadabra has lost approximately $13 million via an exploit that appears to be linked to certain collateral tokens.  Crypto security audit firm Peckshield flagged the hack, which drained a total of 6,260 ether (ETH) on the Ethereum layer-two network Arbitrum.

A police countdown promising to reveal the identity of the kingpin behind the crypto-ransomware group LockBit left spectators disappointed after it revealed only a handful of vague clues and a cartoon picture of a cat. Police seized the LockBit website this week before beginning the online countdown that it was claimed would eventually answer the ‘$10 million question,’ who is LockBitSupp?

Back in December, rumors about a Twitter breach caused uncertainty among users. The fear of 400 million personal user data like emails and phone numbers linked to Twitter being leaked was not an ideal scenario. Now, according to reports, the private information of a whopping 200 million users’ data was leaked. The Twitter data acquired by the ill-doer was posted on a popular hacker forum. The leaked data includes account name/handle, follower count, date of creation as well as email addresses. The database that is found on the website is 63GB. However, this was reduced to 4GB after duplicates were kicked out and files were compressed. This data was put up for sale and could be downloaded for eight credits. Source Data of prominent Twitter accounts like Sundar Pichai, SpaceX, Donald Trump Jr., CBS Media, WHO, and NBA were reportedly leaked. In this instance, eliminating duplicates led to the 200 million figure which is far from the estimated 400 million. There are no pho...
