BitsLab’s ScaleBit flags ‘alarming’ Uniswap Wallet vulnerability

January 13, 2025 Coin Telegraph

bitslab

Attackers with physical access to a user’s device may be able to see the wallet’s seed phrase, the security firm said.

ScaleBit, a subsidiary of security auditor BitsLab, has flagged a purported vulnerability that could potentially compromise “all stored assets” in decentralized exchange (DEX) Uniswap’s Web3 wallets, ScaleBit told Cointelegraph on Jan. 13.

The alleged “flaw enables attackers with physical access to the device to bypass the wallet’s authentication mechanisms and directly retrieve the mnemonic phrase stored on the device,” ScaleBit said in a statement.

A Web3 wallet’s mnemonic phrase, also known as a “seed phrase,” is a string of typically 12–24 random words that grants full control over a wallet’s assets from any device.

Breach

Millions of OpenSea user emails are now fully in the wild after the marketplace’s automation vendor leaked the emails in mid-2022.

Over seven million email addresses compromised in an OpenSea email vendor leak in 2022 have recently been “fully publicized” online — giving scammers a new treasure trove of information to work with, warns a SlowMist executive.

“Remember the attack on the OpenSea mail service provider in [2022] that led to the leakage of emails? The leaked email addresses have now been fully publicized after multiple disseminations,” wrote SlowMist’s chief information security officer “23pds” in a Jan. 13 post on X.

Speaking to Cointelegraph, 23pds explained that while the attack occurred in June 2022, the data had not been made public until recently, meaning “all groups of attackers can use this information to go phishing and scamming.”

Animoca Brands

The X account of Animoca Brands co-founder Yat Siu was hacked to promote a bogus token in what appears to be the latest in a string of similar hacks in the past month.

Blockchain gaming conglomerate Animoca Brands confirmed its co-founder and chair, Yat Siu, was hacked on X to promote a fake token, in what appears to be the latest in a string of attacks on crypto X accounts.

In the now-deleted post, Siu’s account shared a link to a token launched on Solana memecoin launcher Pump.fun called Animoca Brands (MOCA) — named the same as the firm and its affiliated Mocaverse non-fungible token (NFT) collection.
