Decentralized financial systems can also be hacked. Hacker took over $600 million out of Axie Infinity
A few days ago, there was probably the largest theft of funds from the decentralized financial system.
An unknown hacker reportedly hacked into the Ronin sidechain, which is based on the famous NFT game Axie Infinity, and was able to withdraw 173,600 Ethereum coins from the project, which is about $600 million at the current exchange rate. In addition, another 25.5 million USDC stablecoins were withdrawn. Interestingly, the hack happened on March 23, and the company only found out about it on March 29.
As the Ronin developers explain, the Sky Mavis Ronin network currently consists of nine validator nodes. To make a transfer, five of the nine validator signatures are required. The attacker managed to gain control of four Sky Mavis validators and a third-party validator operated by Axie DAO.
The validator’s key scheme is set up to be decentralized to limit an attack vector like this, but the attacker found the backdoor via an RPC node.
The developers also claim that most of the funds are stored on the hacker’s wallet. We are currently working with law enforcement agencies.

The GeForce RTX 3050 can now also be almost fully used for Ethereum mining. Nvidia LHR v3 security cracked 90%

A couple of weeks ago, the LHR protection in Nvidia graphics cards was cracked, which allowed everyone to use accelerators for Ethereum mining at full capacity again. But in fact, then the protection of LHR v2 was cracked, but not LHR v3.
The LHR v3 version is present in Nvidia’s latest releases: RTX 3050 and RTX 3080 12GB. And it is still not completely hacked, but now the NiceHash miner is able to use 90% of the performance of these cards when mining cryptocurrency. It’s not a complete hack yet, but it’s getting very close.
Fortunately, at the moment the cryptocurrency market is in a state of decline, so it hardly makes any sense to buy the same RTX 3050 for mining, which means that gamers need not worry for now.
By the way, a large article has been published on our website with an analysis of methods for cracking Nvidia protection.

Nvidia lost. LHR mining protection is also hacked under Linux. This was done by NBMiner developers

Two days have passed since the NiceHash developers cracked the Nvidia LHR protection, as the NBMiner team also pleased their users with the same news. Only this time we are talking about software for Linux.
Thus, Nvidia’s protection completely fell for both Windows and Linux. Unfortunately, both programs are closed source, so it’s not clear what mechanisms the developers used to hack.
Whether the loss of Nvidia will affect the availability and prices of video cards is still difficult to say. At the moment, the cryptocurrency market continues to fall, but sooner or later it will turn around, and gamers may again face shortages and overpriced graphics cards.
