#ACCC takes #Meta to #court over #Facebook #scam #ads depicting Australian identities
The ads, which include the promotion of #investment in #cryptocurrency, have plagued the platform since 2020. Each ad depicts an image of a prominent Australian such as David Koch, Dick Smith or Andrew Forrest, claiming to have made it big with the investments in a #fake #news article that directs people to the scam investment website.

01.03.2022 Hacker nutzten unsicheres Routing aus
Wege des Internets sind unergründlich
Nein, das sind sie eigentlich nicht - jeder Endpunkt hat eine IP Adresse und die ist zumindest für den aktuellen Zeitpunkt eindeutig jemandem zugeordnet. Schwieriger ist es, zu erklären, wie man zu einem gegebenen Zeitpunkt, denn auch das kann sich jederzeit ändern, von einer Adresse zu einer anderen kommt.
Für dieses Routing gibt es Protokolle, also Vorschriften, welchen Weg ein Datenpaket aus Effizenzgründen zu nehmen hat. Will man jemandem die an ihn verschickten Pakete wegnehmen, so muss man 2 Dinge tun
- für die eigene IP-Adresse ein Zertifikat erstellen, welches glaubhaft eine andere Identität vortäuscht,
- das Routing Protokoll in dem Zeitraum des Angriffs so manipulieren, dass die Datenpakete an der eigenen Adresse zumindest vorbeikommen.
Der Angriff auf Klayswap
Über genau so einen Angriff berichtet Heise recht detailliert. Nutzer der südkoreanischen Krypto-Plattform Klayswap wurden am 3. Februar so um etwa 2 Millionen $ in Kryptowährungen erleichtert. Ein kleiner Beutezug und eigentlich nicht der Rede wert, außerdem hat Klayswap bereits zugesichert, die Betroffenen zu entschädigen.
Trotzdem lohnt sich die Lektüre der Details, denn damit stellt sich heraus, dass die Angreifer etwa 7 Monate daran gearbeitet haben, um die beiden oben beschriebenen Voraussetzungen zu erfüllen - die Erzeugung falscher Zertifikate für ihre eigenen Rechner und die Manipulation des Routing Protokolls BGP.
Wie bei vielen anderen Hacks, spielte wieder einmal eine trojanisierte Version der JavaScript-Bibliothek eine entscheidende Rolle. Deshalb sind wir bei Aktion FsA weiter froh, dass alle unsere Software ohne Java funktioniert und fast so schön und bunt aussieht wie andere.

The #state of the #Bitcoin and the #cryptocurrency ...
Maybe you know my two blog articles on the subject:
1) Everything you need to know about BitCoins but hardly anyone knows.
2) How to store Data securely without Blockchain.
Important aspects like security, Ponzi scheme, scams, energy consumption, environment etc. are not covered at all.
Those who follow me know that I am not a big fan of #Bitcoins. Nevertheless, I will try to deal with the topic in a balanced and not anti-technology way. Can you please write me in the comments your opinion on the subject of cryptocurrency and please also the positive features.
I thank you in advance and try to respond to everything.

But no one really needs them. There are no real use cases for blockchains except for #Bitcoins. In exchange, Bitcoins destroy the #environment with their energy requirements. Please stop telling me that bitcoins make us independent from #banksters. I don't think anything will change when the #money is no longer controlled by criminal banks but #Bitcoin billionaires like Elon #Musk.

How #Bitcoins destroy the #world ...
On the one hand, you could congratulate the bitcoin miners for speeding up the #collapse, but on the other hand, they are destroying the #climate in a sustainable way :(

So much that I think about retiring earlier.
For now I'm at 3 minutes.
Would you quit your job if you had #Bitcoins?

Have you, or someone you know, quit your / their job at some point over the last year due to financial freedom earned by investing in cryptocurrency?

#Cambridge #data shows #Bitcoin #mining on the move

#Kazakhstan, a country rich in fossil fuels, saw an almost six-fold increase in mining - increasing its share from 1.4% in September 2019 to 8.2% in April 2021.
According to the US Department of #Commerce, 87% of Kazakhstan's #electricity "is generated from fossil fuels" with coal accounting for more than 70% of generation.
The country is now the third largest miner of #Bitcoins, behind the US, which saw its share of global mining power also rise significantly - to 16.8%.

This blog analysis highlights that, while Bitcoin blockchain can offer a degree of #anonymity, it is important to understand that such protection can be unmasked in the hands of a qualified #blockchain #forensic investigator to gain significant information, relative to what could be known to the public using various investigative tools and techniques. Furthermore, using blockchain forensic solutions such as Breadcrumbs.app, the identity of users or services to specific addresses can also be obtained, allowing for legal means to pursue, including seizure and prosecution.

#ENVIRONMENT: Some locals say a #bitcoin #mining operation is ruining one of the Finger #Lakes.
#Water usage by #Greenidge is another #problem, residents said. The current permit allows Greenidge to take in 139 million gallons of water and discharge 135 million gallons daily, at temperatures as high as 108 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer and 86 degrees in winter, documents show. Rising water temperatures can stress fish and promote #toxic algae blooms, the EPA says. A full #thermal study hasn't been produced and won't be until 2023, but residents protesting the #plant say the lake is warmer with Greenidge operating.

Yet, none of his antics were taken so seriously as his promise to dump a million #bitcoins in the market if changes were made to Bitcoin block sizes (this reportedly occurred in 2016), earning him the moniker “Father of Bitcoin Toxicity.”
Even with BitCoins, the rich retain their power and control. A revolution against the existing power system looks different.
