Recently, a Norwegian security company disclosed the Android task stack hijacking vulnerability , and named it after the word StrandHogg in Viking's pirate raid tactics. This vulnerability has been exploited, causing the bank card balances of many bank users in the Czech Republic. Loss stolen.

Regarding the vulnerability, ZeroMan, a security expert at Beijing Chain Security, said that StrandHogg is an application vulnerability that exists in the Android multi-tasking system. This vulnerability uses an attribute setting in the App manifest file to attack, making malicious activities on the target task stack. Inside or top. When the user clicks on the victim application icon, the malicious program will masquerade as the interface of a normal application to confuse the user into an interface hijacking attack. In the field of digital assets, once the disguised interface is a scenario such as user login, mnemonic word input, etc., it may cause economic losses to the user.

ZeroMan also said that the key to this type of attack is that malicious programs enter the user's mobile phone, so users are advised to pay special attention not to download apps of unknown origin. For apps such as digital assets, in order to avoid deceptive applications in the app store, the service provider ’s official website guides the link to the store to download, which is also relatively more secure than searching for the app directly in the store. For developers, it is recommended that digital asset-related applications, such as wallets, exchanges and other apps, in the next version, pay attention to setting the android: taskAffinity = "" attribute in the app manifest file to be empty to avoid being attacked.

The Beijing Lian'an on-chain monitoring system found that from 00:00 to 1 am on December 5, Beijing time , there were tens of thousands of BTC-initiated transactions on the chain, so that some analysts believe that this reflects the activity of on-chain transactions. Today Beginning at 2 pm, the same pattern of transfers occurred again, causing the on-chain transaction volume to surge. In fact, these transactions originate from the latest Bitcoin withdrawal strategy of the exchange Bittrex, and the activity on the chain has not substantially improved.

According to SXWK, a data analyst on Beijing Lianan Chain, Bittrex uses tens of thousands of BTCs as transaction inputs, and usually divides tens to hundreds of units of BTC. Then these BTCs will choose to further transfer to the corresponding address to complete the centralized withdrawal of the exchange. Currency operations. The remaining huge amount of BTC will enter a new address, repeated in a short period of time, which has resulted in the surge in transaction value on the chain that we have seen. Businesses that rely on data decision-making on the chain, please be careful to rule out "interference" in this case.
