Critical Linux kernel flaw allows remote root attacks on MPTCP servers
A critical Linux kernel vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute commands as root on servers running Multipath TCP (MPTCP) listeners. Anthropic researchers have developed a working exploit, which raises the likelihood of attacks against exposed systems.
Binance investigates suspected breach involving up to $5.8 billion in crypto assets
Binance is investigating a potential security breach involving up to $5.8 billion in digital assets, which BleepingComputer says could become the largest cryptocurrency hack in history. HackRead reports that $3 billion in assets has been frozen, that investigators are tracing the funds, and that the exchange says user funds are safe. The articles describe the incident as suspected or potential, and neither gives details of how it happened.
Binance reports record $6.3 billion crypto theft, possibly via compromised DevOps engineer laptop
Binance said an initial investigation points to a compromised DevOps engineer's laptop that gave an attacker access to a service container, from which unauthorised withdrawals were submitted. The company found no evidence of a wallet private key leak, and co-CEO Richard Teng said the attack was more complex than one engineer's permissions. TRM Labs and Chainalysis link the theft to TraderTraitor, while Elliptic says about $3.3 billion was moved into assets that cannot be frozen.
