How was nearly 4,000 BTC taken from the Liquid Network without the keys being compromised?
The attacker/s called themselves 'white hats' and returned most of the bitcoin. But does that make them white hats?

Join C4 for a live discussion on Sept. 22 at 1pm edt. We'll look at recent cryptocurrency incidents, where security failed, and what we can learn from each one.
Understanding how incidents happen makes for better security decisions.

Brevo, an email service provider used by C4 and many other companies, experienced a security incident.
As far as we know, C4 was not impacted.
Be cautious of links and downloads. Never share credentials, authentication codes, seed phrases, passphrases, or private keys.

Strong cryptography doesn't automatically mean a secure system.
During the Secure Key Generation panel at the C4 Security Summit, @Adatm_T_H at @station_70 discussed why implementation matters, particularly when it comes to something as fundamental as entropy.

Not enough randomness has cost millions.
CCSS Steering Committee member @forwardsecrecy explains why sufficient entropy is foundational to secure key generation. It's why its been part of the CCSS since 2014.

Security folks spend a lot of time thinking about what could go wrong. We may seem paranoid, but billions lost to hacks give us good reason to be.
A SOC 2 is useful, but it doesn’t tell you everything.

The Coldcard entropy incident remidns us that strong crypto systems depend on strong operational processes.
Upcoming CryptoCurrency Security Standard (CCSS™) trainings are in Aug. for EMEA, Oct. for APAC, and Nov. for AMER.

We at the Cryptocurrency Certification Consortium did an hour-long stream about key entropy last year, but of course it only got 100 views. 🥲
Weak randomness is one of the most fundamental risks in crypto. If keys are generated with poor entropy, the rest of the security stack doesn’t matter.
Join us for a deep dive into entropy and key generation.

@Abstr_ct gave a fantastic class on crypto key creation at #BTC2019 and shared ceremony.guide/ as a way to understand how unguessable keys can be created.
It's a great way to get a practical feel for how keys work @LearnMoreWithC4
