huh that sure is a sentence on wikipedia describing two events that happened, one after the otherquote:After Kucinich refused to sell Municipal Light (now Cleveland Public Power), Cleveland's publicly owned electric utility, the Cleveland mafia sought to murder him in a contract killing. A hit man from Maryland planned to shoot him in the head during the Columbus Day Parade, but the plot fell apart when Kucinich was hospitalized with a bleeding ulcer and missed the event.[24] When the city fell into default shortly thereafter, the Mafia leaders called off the contract killer.[25]

LanceHunter posted:Despite a coiner getting hosed, this is actually a bad ruling. You’re only suffering a SIM swap attack if your phone company has completely failed in their own basic security (and/or has people working with the scammers on staff). Phone companies should face massive penalties when this happens, not be able to foist off the problem to a contractually-required arbitration.

https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/two-brothers-arrested-attacking-ethereum-blockchain-and-stealing-25-millionquote:U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “Today, my Office indicted two brothers—Anton Peraire-Bueno and James Peraire-Bueno—for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering, all stemming from their alleged scheme to exploit the Ethereum blockchain and to obtain about $25 million worth of cryptocurrency from it. As we allege, the defendants’ scheme calls the very integrity of the blockchain into question. The brothers, who studied computer science and math at one of the most prestigious universities in the world, allegedly used their specialized skills and education to tamper with and manipulate the protocols relied upon by millions of Ethereum users across the globe. And once they put their plan into action, their heist only took 12 seconds to complete. This alleged scheme was novel and has never before been charged. But as the Indictment makes clear, no matter how sophisticated the fraud or how new the techniques used to accomplish it, the career prosecutors of this Office will be relentless in pursuing people who attack the integrity of all financial systems.” There are no details, but maybe the immutable ledger has been mutabled? Also, lol at using double spaces.

Bonfire Lit posted:There are some details in the indictment itself and from a cursory glance they tricked some arbitrage bots to overpay for illiquid shitcoins They exploited a side protocol used to build blocks for validation to bait high frequency traders and then reorder the transactions within the block. This other protocol lets users search through the pool of pending transactions, bundle them into a block, and submit the block to miners. There is an intermediate layer of servers that receive proposed blocks and then negotiate with miners to pass on the highest value ones. The important point is that this protocol doesn't tell the miners what transactions are in the proposed block, just the expected gas fees of the block. The block contents are released only after the miner agrees to mine the block. The fraudsters found a code exploit which let them set up malicious servers that could reorder transactions while digitally signing everything needed to make it look like they were providing the original block but secretly reordering the transactions. The way it was supposed to work was that a hft bot would spot a market moving transaction for some illiquid shitcoin. Then it would submit a block buying a bunch of that shitcoin, immediately run the market moving transaction, then immediately sell the shitcoin. The fraudsters placed bait transactions in the pool for various shitcoins they had previously acquired. When a hft bot submitted their buy/sell block the fraudsters would secretly insert their sell order right before the bot's, causing the price to crash and the fraudsters to walk away with the pump and dump profits and the hft trader left with a pile of useless shitcoins.

Chalks posted:unironically this I think setting up an adversary in the middle and using an exploit to change someone's order and forge the signature for that order is perhaps one of the clearest examples of actual hacking in one of these market manipulation cases. I didn't read far enough in the indictment to see if they also set up a website, in which case they should be jailed foreverally.
