🚨 The Vercel breach traces back to a Context[.]ai gooner employee infected with Lumma infostealer. The malware harvested his Google Workspace credentials, porn and anime site logins, and the in-game username "lecoonjames" (see profile pic below, he changed the username post-infection, I wonder why).
Stolen records included "support@context[.]ai," assessed as a core Context-Inc Vercel team account, likely enabling privilege escalation into Vercel infrastructure.
In the sadness of the everyday exploits in web3 now, I believe it'd be nice to see some design thoughts from the @fusionprotoco_l team.
May be worth the read, and comments/feedback are definitely welcome.
From my perspective, interop safety isn't only a crypto problem. It's a precondition for the institutions and financial infrastructure watching this space and waiting for rails they can actually trust with real capital.
Every exploit pushes that moment further away and of course every architectural improvement pulls it closer. I've spoken to a bunch ofTradFi players across Europe & US and majority of their grievances revolves around security.
I hope we can jointly solve this and fast, soon enough. Cheers❤️
