Phishing, exploits & privacy

I’m being paid to perform full security assessments on 2 of them, while I gave another 5 only a rough 30-minute pass. Even at that depth, some of the vulnerabilities and basic security failures I found are frankly alarming.

You all know how many breaches, exploits and hacks we’ve seen lately.

I’m currently reviewing and assessing several Web3 platforms.

I’m being paid to perform full security assessments on 2 of them, while I gave another 5 only a rough 30-minute pass. Even at that depth, some of the vulnerabilities and basic security failures I found are frankly alarming.

It’s not difficult to understand why this industry keeps getting exploited when platforms go live with weak architecture, poor access controls, insecure implementations and obvious attack surfaces that should have been addressed long before users put money at risk.

Btw:
If you run a platform and want a proper security assessment, you can contact me. These assessments are neither free nor cheap because a serious review requires many hours of work. I don’t just identify weaknesses.

I document findings, assess severity, explain the underlying risk and provide concrete remediation recommendations based on established security and computer science best practices.
