For years, the digital euro was presented by the European Central Bank (ECB) merely as a modern and practical alternative to banknotes and coins. It has now

Estamos sufocando sob a incessante exigência de projetar vidas impecáveis, sacrificando nossa autenticidade em troca da aprovação digital. Essa encenação da perfeição corrói nossa estabilidade interior e encobre a profunda beleza de nossas imperfeições inerentes.…

Freedom is often misunderstood as the absence of responsibility.

We’re open-sourcing k8s-aibom, a Kubernetes controller that continuously monitors environments to detect AI runtimes and generate standard ML-BOMs.

The data center issue can be overwhelming because it’s threatening so much but the fact that it’s bringing communities together, political labels aside, is a pretty cool thing.

Bitcoinica's Third Hack Drains the Victim Recovery Fund

Twice robbed and shut down, Bitcoinica had one thing left: a fund to repay its victims. The key to that account had been sitting in leaked source code for months. Brief…

Tong launched Bitcoinica, Bitcoin's first leveraged trading platform. Users could bet on BTC's price with borrowed money. Nothing like it existed, and it soon handled more volume than most exchanges.

3/11 - Then the hacks began. On March 1, 2012, attackers compromised Linode, Bitcoinica's hosting provider, and drained 43,554 BTC. In the fallout, the source code leaked. Buried in that code, in plaintext, sat the API key to Bitcoinica's MtGox account.

4/11 - On May 11, a second attack took another 18,547 BTC and Bitcoinica shut down for good. Co-founder Tihan opened a MtGox account to hold what remained: a recovery fund, the only realistic path to repayment for hundreds of customers who were owed money.

5/11 - Here is the detail that decided everything. That API key in the leaked code was never rotated. Not after the first hack, not after the second. For months, anyone who read the code held a working key to the fund meant to make the victims whole.

6/11 - And real people were counting on that fund. One Bitcointalk user, DarkEmi, had deposited 5,000 BTC, most of his savings. Another had wired $38,626 saved over two years, verified his claim three times, and received nothing. They checked the forum every…

7/11 - On July 12, someone finally used the key. Within hours, roughly 40,000 BTC and $40,000 in cash drained out of the MtGox account, flowing through AurumXchange into Liberty Reserve, a digital currency the US government would shut down for money laundering…
