      "body": "<html>\n<p>Binance, OKEx, Bitfinex, and Huobi are cryptocurrency exchanges. All of them have a 24-hour trading volume for most popular cryptocurrencies and those numbers vary significantly. Do those numbers matter? Of course. Trading volume is among the most significant factors to consider before choosing an exchange. However, it is not the only one. &nbsp;</p>\nhttps://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYhEzgr19fb9VEPUZ9LbNm7YGGFCmn2YF49iuAwrqMgjT/Who-are-Transparency-Hackers_CER.jpg\n<p>A huge number of community members have changed their minds about using trade volumes as the main metric for exchange rankings after the results of CER researches were published. Making the industry transparent and reliable was the reason why Crypto Exchange Ranks launched an extensive rating service based on the actual data. Not long ago, CER took the following factors into account when ranking an exchange including liquidity, cybersecurity, withdrawal &amp; limits as well as public opinion. However, the balance of an exchange is also a serious point to consider.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>This is where we made a decision to go further and start an initiative of detecting a hot and cold balance which is beneficial for all the parties involved. We found that the total hot and cold balance is the most important metric which determines the reliability and sustainability of crypto exchanges’ rank.&nbsp;</p>\n<h1>Fake Trade Volumes</h1>\n<p><br>\nCertainly, trading volume should be considered when choosing an exchange. Although, when the numbers are fake it seems like there’s market demand which in turn attracts more users. Earlier, we’ve published a research explaining how falsified trade volume influences the crypto industry development. However, it wouldn’t hurt to explain it one more time:</p>\n<ul>\n  <li>due to fake volume numbers, traders overvalue currencies because high volume means lower volatility;</li>\n  <li>falsified volumes make users believe that they will trade faster thus pay for less delay;</li>\n  <li>fake trade volume can cause cyber-attacks because malicious users tend to hack the largest traders;</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Consequently, fake trade volumes significantly decrease the reputation of an exchange. Of course, it is still one of the most important factors to consider but it can’t be the only one.&nbsp;</p>\n<h1><strong>Blockchain Balance RTD Validation</strong></h1>\n<p>Aside from detecting hot and cold wallets, we’re also checking their credibility. In order to provide the best and most efficient results, we utilize a wallet evaluation system consisting of four main components including CER strategic partners, an exchange, CER team, and CER community.</p>\nhttps://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYoZnoeXdgGA3WddS2v56WQnarFfx9zo46HBi7Qr69yur/hotcold-wallets-1.png\n<h2>The exchange.&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>It can provide the information or confirm the credibility of the found addresses. Here are the advantages:</p>\n<ul>\n  <li>proving to be a fair player on the crypto market and earning the trust of the community members;</li>\n  <li>confirming to have a real trade volume;</li>\n  <li>increasing income;</li>\n  <li>getting new users and clients.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Partners of CER. &nbsp;</h2>\n<p>The partners of CER take an active part in detecting wallets of exchanges and ensuring those are credible. Here are the following advantages:</p>\n<ul>\n  <li>taking part in cross-sales of products and attracting new investors;</li>\n  <li>increasing the brand reputation by supporting CER global initiative;</li>\n  <li>getting access to unique data thus improving research algorithms;</li>\n  <li>being informed about CER partners’ contributions via mail, on blog and landing pages.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>The community of CER.&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>BTC/ETH addresses are submitted by transparency hackers. The advantages are the following:</p>\n<ul>\n  <li>getting financial rewards for finding public addresses;</li>\n  <li>receiving all the benefits of a closed CER community membership;</li>\n  <li>being informed about CER partners’ contributions via mail, on the CER blog and social media;</li>\n  <li>becoming a regional representative of CER.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>The team of CER.&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>The professional team validates and approves the address. We are the last to verify and publish the information to the CER dashboard.</p>\n<h1><strong>How to take part in a Transparency Hacking Initiative?</strong></h1>\n<p>The entire cooperation procedure is quite easy and straightforward.&nbsp;</p>\n<ul>\n  <li>In case if you’re an exchange then register here and verify your corporate account. It’s also necessary to submit hot and cold addresses. It’s noteworthy that the addresses won’t be disclosed to any third parties unless they signed an agreement with CER.</li>\n  <li>If you want to become a partner and take part in the crypto transparency movement then don’t hesitate to contact us on [email protected] &nbsp;</li>\n  <li>If you are a cybersecurity specialist who wants to become a transparency hacker, then register here and start getting rewards for your findings!</li>\n</ul>\nhttps://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRzk3Mv4sFy9M58Z1HwaL9A7fetYPZbn6XADGXDxznMJr/hotcold-storage.png\n<h1><strong>What do we want to achieve for The Crypto Community?</strong></h1>\n<p>Ideally, we and our community expect to find more trustworthy crypto exchanges as well as new ways of calculating the ratio between trade volume and exchanges’ assets in order to avoid money laundering. Furthermore, when our initiative would be running at full capacity steadily, we portend cryptocurrencies as well as crypto exchanges to compete with conventional financial institutions providing a secure, fast and transparent way to carry out financial transactions. &nbsp;</p>\n<h1>Conclusion</h1>\n<p>CER is developing rapidly. Currently, 18 world-known and reliable exchanges are evaluated on the platform. At least 200 others are listed on CER and can be evaluated on order. We provide 4 dashboards for making informed and safe trading decisions. Due to arbitrage widget, one can make profits on currency movements with no risks. With the help of the Trading Dashboard, it’s possible to compare current and historical prices and utilize tools and indicators for the technical analysis. The real-time market data is displayed on the Liquidity Dashboard. There is also a Blockchain Balance Dashboard. Currently, we have 11 hot addresses and 9 cold wallets which allows getting the information about exchanges including inflow, outflows, balances, amounts, and number of transactions. Register on CER now, Utilize the above-mentioned Dashboards and Make your Contribution!</p>\n</html>",

With all these <a href=\"https://blog.cryptoexchangeranks.com/industry-news/the-butterfly-effect/?utm_source=Steemit&amp;utm_medium=KL\">wash trading</a> and <a href=\"https://blog.cryptoexchangeranks.com/industry-news/magic-trading-volume-the-case-of-zb-com/?utm_source=Steemit&amp;utm_medium=KL\">faking trading volume</a>, the crypto proves to be immature. Although the CER team strives to call for crypto exchanges’ consciousness <a href=\"https://blog.cryptoexchangeranks.com/team-and-interviews/crypto-exchange-roundtable-at-hackit-summary/?utm_source=Steemit&amp;utm_medium=KL\">organizing roundtables</a> and writing researches, we still need a help from regulators. Increasing pressure from regulatory bodies has provoked a stream of KYC (know your customer) and AML (anti-money laundering) discussions causing them to become the most talked about issues to be solved in crypto space. We aim to use this article to look in detail at what KYC and AML are, how they work, the pros and cons and most importantly to answer the question&nbsp;</p>\n<blockquote>Does the crypto community need efficient KYC/AML procedures?</blockquote>\n<h2>WHAT ARE KYC AND AML?</h2>\n<p><em>Know Your Customer (KYC)</em> is a policy implemented by banks, financial institutions, and other regulated companies to confirm a customer’s identity and ascertain relevant information needed when doing business with them. In short, KYC is a process by which banks obtain information about the identity and address of their customers and is one of the procedures used to help prevent money laundering.<em>Anti-Money Laundering (AML)</em> &nbsp;is a set of procedures, laws and regulations designed to stop the practice of generating income through illegal actions and suspicious activity including terrorist financing, securities fraud, and market manipulation.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>IMPLICATIONS OF KYC/AML IN CLASSICAL FINANCE</h2>\n<p>Because KYC conformity is important in ensuring that banking institutions are not defrauded or victims of other financial crimes such as money laundering or organized crime, KYC procedures are critical elements in the effective management of banking risks.</p>\n<p>In 2016 Thomson Reuters surveyed nearly 800 financial institutions about the effects of KYC regulation on their respective institutions and concluded that they were spending, on average, $60 million per year on KYC compliance with some spending as much as $500 million per year.</p>\n<p>Regulations are becoming increasingly stricter, meaning financial institutions have to spend more money than ever to comply with them or risk steep fines. These fines are also dramatically increasing with JP Morgan, for example, being fined $2 million for a failure to report suspicious activity.</p>\n<p>Whilst speaking of criminal punishment it is worth noting that given the large corporate structure of many organizations, it is difficult to assign criminal responsibility to a specific individual or group of individuals. For this reason, regulators mostly levy fines against large banks, rather than pursuing criminal prosecutions, to make financial institutions follow the law and conduct strict compliance procedures.The Patriot Act published in 2001 outlined the laws on KYC, specifying that a U.S. bank is required to file a suspicious activity report if it suspects, or has reason to suspect, criminal activity.</p>\n<p>Despite this, the Patriot Act does not directly specify a customer due diligence requirement. However, the system is not perfect and despite significant fines and stricter regulations being put in place, terrorism, money laundering, and illegal financial activities are still prevalent. However, if no intergovernmental and international organizations such as the Financial Action Task Force, the National Credit Union Administration, the U.S. Securities, and Exchange Commission and FINTRAC existed the problem would be considerably greater. Government laws in different countries help to protect the financial system against manipulation, financing of terrorism, and money laundering and whilst the system is not perfect it works to some degree.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, regulations are continuously improved and got stricter. The 5th Anti-Money Laundering Directive (AMLD5) of the EU came into force on July &nbsp;9, 2018 with effective application from January 10, 2020. This is an extension of AMLD4 (July 2016) which requires, among other things, that all member countries have a centralized register of national bank accounts and a centralized data retrieval system. The costs to financial institutions associated with compliance are normally funded by third-party solutions.</p>\n<h2>CURRENT STATE OF KYC/AML IN CRYPTO</h2>\n<p>The current situation with regards to adhering to compliance rules and regulations within the crypto market is almost the opposite to that in classic financial markets. A recent study by PAID discovered that even in the US and EU, two-thirds of cryptocurrency exchanges fail to comply with requirements. They ask for nothing more than an email address and a phone number meaning they know virtually nothing about their customers.</p>\n<p>This is the main reason why the vast majority of banks are hesitant to work with cryptocurrency exchanges, forcing them to relocate to less regulated jurisdictions.</p>\n<p>We decided to undertake our own brief KYC investigation to get an overview of the current situation and below are our findings:</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>The above table shows that currently the primary documents that exchanges require are a passport, photograph and a written certificate.</p>\n<p>It is difficult to say whether this is enough to pass the KYC procedure and shockingly from this short list we found two exchanges that did not follow this procedure at all.</p>\n<p>However, the finding that gave us the most concern was the low-level compliance requirements of the leading exchanges such as Binance, Huobi, and OKEx. For example, Binance has only recently requested potential customers provide a copy of their passport during their sign up process following a number of complaints about the exchanges lack of security which had made it a haven for criminals to divide their stolen coins into smaller undetectable portions by using multiple accounts. Huobi has added more stringent certification to its sign-up requirements but does not verify mobile phone details. At least, as opposed to Binance and Huobi, OKex requires a passport and utility bill but still shows a flippant attitude to KYC.</p>\n<p>We have explained below three main reasons why crypto exchanges do not take their compliance procedures seriously:</p>\n<ol>\n  <li>Competition — there is a large number of exchanges operating in the crypto market and their customers do not like the KYC procedure. For example, it takes about 24 days on average for a commercial bank customer to pass the entire compliance process. This pattern can be unacceptable for crypto traders and investors and they will likely choose another platform to trade on. This means implementing strict KYC can be fatal to exchanges’ ongoing business.</li>\n  <li>Cost — banks are already spending around $500 million per year on KYC and it is pushing up the cost of adding new clients. If compliance costs are onerous for large banks they can become critical for crypto exchanges, especially for fledgling entrants.</li>\n  <li>Regulation absence — The crypto market is a loosely regulated capital market and it is still not a requirement to enforce proper KYC and AML procedures, although this is going to change very soon. Just recently, the FATF has adopted changes to their own recommendations and glossary to clarify how these will apply in the case of financial activities involving virtual assets. These changes make clear that jurisdictions should ensure that virtual asset service providers are subject to AML/CFT regulations, for example conducting customer due diligence including ongoing monitoring, record-keeping, and reporting of suspicious transactions and should be licensed or registered and subject to monitoring to ensure compliance. The FATF will further elaborate on how these requirements should be applied in relation to virtual assets.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>It seems that the crypto market has finally grown enough to gain the serious attention of regulators and provoke them into action.</p>\n<h2>THE EMERGENCE OF NEW TRENDS_</h2>\n<p>Despite the unsatisfactory current compliance process situation, the cryptomarket has recently received welcome news in respect of the upcoming improvements and changes happening within the space. Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange according to CoinMarketCap, has just announced their forthcoming partnership with Chainanalysis.</p>\n<p>Chainanalysis is a software solution provider for forensic analysis that helps law enforcement agencies track the movement of bitcoin and other top cryptocurrencies. The platform uses statistical techniques to identify when given transactions are likely to be tied to criminal activity and generate a warning alert. Law enforcement agencies, banks, and financial service companies are amongst their customers.</p>\n<p>As agreed within the partnership framework, Chainanalysis will provide Binance with access to its “Know Your Transaction” compliance software enabling the exchange to monitor cryptocurrency transactions in real-time. &nbsp; In particular, this tool will look for potentially criminal or otherwise illicit activity.</p>\n<p>Binance executives also confirmed that the company had invested in know-your-customer and anti-money laundering measures and had hired compliance professionals. However, criminals would always be able to find loopholes in the system whatever precautions are taken and only a continuous improvement process can help to fight this ongoing issue.</p>\n<p>Since its inception, Binance has undergone many changes. From initially hiding its jurisdiction,&nbsp;it progressed to requiring passports from users and partnering with Chainanalysis to implement better KYC/AML protocols and subsequently freeze WEX accounts. No doubt, as a well-known exchange, Binance is acting as a trendsetter for the crypto community and other exchanges will no doubt follow its example soon.</p>\n<h2>CONCLUSION</h2>\n<p>The KYC/AML procedure in the crypto space is still far from desirable when compared to other mainstream financial markets. We can, of course, appeal to those in the early stages of forming the cryptocurrency market, but the crypto space develops at a much faster pace than classical markets and is always on the cutting edge of new technology and can perhaps lead by example in the future.</p>\n<p>Exchanges just need the right motivation in order to address compliance implementation problems themselves. The high costs associated with proper compliance measures can be solved by outsourcing them to third-party solutions. Financial institutions work with services such as Thomson Reuters and Dimension platform from SimCorp in order to handle their KYC process. As Binance has already demonstrated, crypto exchanges could utilize these same third-party services. The competition problem will be solved by itself when a critical number of exchanges start to increase their compliance standards as otherwise, regulators will strive to be stricter to crypto exchanges, related brokers, ico-entrepreneurs and other market participants.</p>\n<p>When trying to answer our original question: ‘Does the crypto community need an efficient KYC/AML procedure?’ we need to think about criminal and cybersecurity issues and the benefit genuine participants will receive by having their coins and tokens securely protected from theft.</p>\n<p><strong>Regulation is necessary for crypto market integrity as it will dramatically decrease fraudulent schemes and increase the reputation of the crypto community which in turn will ensure market growth.</strong> Let’s be the leaders and visionaries, we do not need to wait until regulators implement their requirements but instead actively support those organizations which are the most progressive in their compliance procedures.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><strong>To stay updated on the latest CER investigations follow us on</strong><br>\n<a href=\"https://hacken.live/CER-email-subscription\">Email</a><br>\n<a href=\"https://hacken.live/CER-Twitter\">Twitter</a><br>\n<strong>To discuss this article, join us on</strong><br>\n<a href=\"https://t.me/hackenio\">Telegram</a><br>\n<a href=\"https://www.reddit.com/user/CER_HKN/\">Reddit</a><br>\n</p>\n</html>",

      "body": "<html>\n<p>The crypto community had no other choice but to put up with the fact that there also exists the dark side — a community of various types of scammers and phishers. However, <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikita-knysh/\">Nikita Knysh</a> — the head of security in Hacken, co-founder of Hacken and HackIT Cybersecurity conference, has a lot to tell about how crypto hodlers are most likely to become phishing victims and what tools should be used to protect them from scams.</p>\nhttps://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcuFywZqqpePipGeBPU41Mm9Lx8ZEqMuHUuHEa838p7f6/pic%20for%20post.jpg\n<h1><strong>Phishing sites</strong></h1>\n<p><em>Problem</em>. There were times when Google Adwords and contextual advertising were so widespread that almost every ICO site had its own clone. Some of our clients had up to 30 fake websites that were being registered one by one and disappeared only after <a href=\"https://hub.hacken.io/anti-phishing\">Hacken's intervention</a>. Can you imagine that auctions for contextual advertising for the client's brand were more than $100 per click?!<em>Problem-solving</em>. We set up a mention monitoring system for the brand and words similar to its name. Then, the whole crew of people began to automatically click off Google ads, putting the balance of intruders into the minus in just a few minutes. We also flooded registrars and hosts with complaints and were trying to block fraudulent phishers in all possible ways.One of the most effective ways to protect users was getting the original domain into the whitelist of MetaMask, and all fake domains into its blacklist accordingly. Every day, we were persuading the investors to install a plug-in from <a href=\"https://metamask.io/\">MetaMask</a>, and, as a result, new phishing domains and wallets were added to the block list every hour.</p>\n<h1><strong>Phishing Twitter accounts and AirDrop campaigns</strong></h1>\n<p><em>Problem</em>.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Some marketers have recently started to begin their speeches with the phrase <em>«people are becoming dumber every day»</em>, and the best manifestation is fake AirDrop-campaigns. I would also add that <em>«people are acting stupid because they simply hope to get something for free.»</em> I believe phishers and sober thinking individuals noticed that the feed in social media networks sometimes turns into a never-ending stream of <em>«win this or that for a repost right here right now.»</em>Now, all those hoaxes are slowly migrating into the crypto world. If earlier spam used to look like <em>«copy this letter and send it to three other people and you will be forever happy»</em>, later it evolved into <em>«resend this SMS and fill three accounts with a magical balance that will fill yours in return»</em>, or, <em>«repost, indicate your wallet, send us 1 ETH, and we will send you 1000 s**t-coins.»</em> Doesn’t it remind you of the story <em>«I got my iPhone 6 back, but I have already bought Iphone 7, so I'll give the former away to a random person who will repost this?»</em>Let’s analyze this case on a real example: here is an incomplete list of phishing campaigns on Twitter, which were allegedly distributing tokens on behalf of <a href=\"https://hacken.io/\">Hacken</a>: Hack<strong>v</strong>en_io; Hacken_<strong>ibo; </strong>Hacken_<strong>ioo</strong>; Hacken_<strong>rio</strong>; Hacken_<strong>ixo</strong>; Hacken_<strong>yio</strong>; Hacke<strong>z</strong>n_io; Hacke<strong>b</strong>n_io; Hacken<strong>s</strong>_io; &nbsp;Hacke<strong>d</strong>n_io; Ha<strong>kk</strong>en_io; Hack<strong>q</strong>en_io; Hacken_<strong>ieo</strong>; Hac<strong>y</strong>ken_rio; Hacke<strong>o</strong>n_io; Hack<strong>r</strong>en_io; Hacken_<strong>lo</strong>_; Hacken_<strong>iso</strong>; Hacken<strong>sios</strong></p>\n<p>Honestly, after the 30th phishing account, we stopped writing them down. The funny thing is that people themselves are distributing such kind of information without even giving it a second thought.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Moreover, it became pretty popular to tag well-known ICOs on Twitter, Facebook or even Instagram and tell everyone about the giveaway of remaining tokens. Those who tagged us were not very lucky though, as they got under the influence of our anti-phishing machine. However, you might be surprised that a lot of ICOs do not pay attention to such campaigns at all. Here is the list of sites that «we're giving away» tokens and tagging Hacken (as you probably guess, they are all already blocked):&nbsp;</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://ethereum.org/\">ethereum.org</a>-giveaway.live <a href=\"http://ethereumpomo.online/\">ethereumpomo.online</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://giveaway.ethereunn.org/\">giveaway.ethereunn.org</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://eth-airdrop.online/\">eth-airdrop.online</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://ethtogive.com/\">ethtogive.com</a><a href=\"http://manytokens.com/\">manytokens.com</a></p>\n<p><em>Problem-solving</em>. Block fake accounts by sending complaints, conduct an airdrop campaign only on your own domain (or subdomain) and always warn that the distribution of any other links to third-party resources (e.g. Google form) will result in account blocking and accusations of illegal use of the brand by third parties. Users also need to remember: free cheese is only in a mousetrap. The distribution of tokens can only take place within advertising campaigns or with certain marketing purposes, but it is still necessary to double-check such information on the official website of the project.</p>\n<h1><strong>What to do about phishing in Telegram?</strong></h1>\n<p><em>Problem</em>. Nowadays, almost every ICO is facing the same problem: dealing with phishing scams in Telegram. By entering the group or subscribing to a channel of any popular token sale, you will probably instantly get up to ten personal messages «from the administrator» with an offer to buy tokens. Despite the fact that admins of large projects regularly «clean» the group from spam and other delusional messages, right now this is not enough, because phishers and scammers simply write people directly.<em>Problem-solving</em>. You can use our <a href=\"https://hub.hacken.io/anti-phishing-bot\">Hacken Antispam/AntiPhishing bot</a>, which once in a certain period of time goes through the entire list of users and does the following:</p>\n<ol>\n  <li>Compares all profile pictures of users with those of administrators and shows potential phishers that can impersonate the administrator.</li>\n  <li>Compares all nicknames, first/last names and user statuses for the similarities with the ones of official administrators, brands, etc. in order to detect potential phishers.</li>\n  <li>Bans such personalities without mercy.</li>\n  <li>Removes users with zero activity who did not check the chat for more than 30 days (the number is up to you).</li>\n  <li>Filters all links and wallets that are sent to the chat.</li>\n  <li>Filters all \"forwarded\" messages and pictures, as this is a very popular way of dishonest and fraudulent advertising in other channels.</li>\n  <li>Sends manual/automatic reports (complaints) about those who violate the above-mentioned points.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>For ordinary users, I would highly recommend not to buy tokens in group chats or untested channels. If needed, you should personally contact admins and understand that they are unlikely to offer you to buy something using an unofficial link leading to some strange site.Blocking scams in Telegram is a very complicated question that requires a considerable amount of time and certain knowledge in the field of jurisprudence. In order to ban the user, you would need to describe in every detail what exactly they are violating according to messenger rules or international laws.</p>\n<h2><strong>Summing UP</strong></h2>\n<p>There have always been people who batten. Nevertheless, there are companies like Hacken who interfere the parasitical activities.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Subscribe to Hacken official blog to read latest industry trends and educational articles. <br>\nOriginally published in <a href=\"https://blog.hacken.io/phishing-of-crypto-hodlers-traders-and-stock-exchanges\">Hacken Blog</a></p>\n</html>",

These devices are quite popular and are easily manageable via HTTP / HTTPS web interface.&nbsp;Buffalo TeraStation&nbsp;NASs are password-protected by default and are ‘the most secure NAS solutions’ on the market (according to the manufacturer’s site).</p>\n<p>However, nobody can protect your digital assets if you disable authentication and, as a result, NAS web interface is indexed by <a href=\"https://blog.hacken.io/fitmetrix-exposed-millions-of-customers-records-in-a-passwordless-database\">Shodan</a> or any other IoT search engine (Google in IoT world). In lay terms, a misconfiguration had happened what resulted in NAS becoming public.</p>\n<h1>Who Owns Data?</h1>\n<p>The NAS in question appeared to be managed by Rice Consulting, a Maryland-based Democratic fundraising firm. According to their site, over 2017 fundraising season Rice Consulting teamed with Democrats to raise $4.32 million.</p>\n<p>https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWqPo26JyNmC37YyF7tPvDB5dRBMTKvR5mgRHzGdDLsvr/pic1.png</p>\n<p>Storage contained detailed information on each of the Rice Consulting client (past, current, and potential), e-mail databases with details on thousands of fundraisers (phones, names, emails, addresses, companies), contracts, meeting notes, desktop backups, employee details, etc.</p>\n<p>https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNpvMnxYBBd12WuB7ucFXsBL7peSrmoRmvwnfLyGogQde/pic2.png</p>\n<p><strong>As per Shodan search results, there are more than 700 unprotected Buffalo TeraStation NAS across the US only.</strong></p>\n<h1>Significance of Data Breach Discovery</h1>\n<p>The most significant asset available for public was passwords to database resources, including access details to NGP — a privately owned voter database and web hosting service provider used by the American Democratic Party, Democratic campaigns, and other non-profit organizations authorized by the Democratic Party, MDVAN —Maryland Voter Activation Network, DLCC —Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, and DNC — Democratic National Committee) email accounts. All of those were stored in an Excel file non-encrypted.</p>\n<p>https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTo4yVBNQsCEr26Bxq36PQNxbwsCWSB9cm9rsXeALqHE2/pic3.png</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQFtBHqcsLwJxaLHAnEcBX6ndPqUvxNoxGE5qkyXdGk7F/pic4.png</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Access log (also available among other files in storage) shows first connections made to the NAS on February 22. It includes IPs from Turkey, South Korea, Thailand among others: scanning engines IPs, like Greynoise, are also there. We suppose that NAS information could have been accessed by non-authorized and even malicious actors.<br>\n</p>\n<p>https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfTz5qnNzgh65aoi3XSU6PyJRoPAiFjHx4mPpK3GQtHp3/pic5.png</p>\n<h1>Responsible Disclosure Issues</h1>\n<p>Immediately upon discovery, we sent email notifications directly to the Rice Consulting management team (luckily, their email was also in one of the files). However, no response was received within 24 hours, so taking into account the sensitivity of data, we called Rice Consulting office next day. A person responding to calls simply hung up.One of Twitter followers who agreed to help me reach Rice Consulting also had the same issue with communication: “<em>The first person thought I had a marketing call and said \"No thank you\" and hung up. The second one acted like she was doing me a favor taking down the info</em>”.Finally, on October 18, public access to NAS device and sensitive files has been disabled and we received a ‘thank you’ note from Rice Consulting. We will update this article if/when we receive answers to our questions.</p>\n<h1>Lessons Learned</h1>\n<ul>\n  <li>With so many unreliable emails floating around, sometimes it is difficult to discern what is legitimate and what is not. Nevertheless, it's not so hard to at least answer a call.</li>\n  <li>Follow cyber hygiene rules on each and every level within your organization:\n    <ul>\n      <li>use passwords;</li>\n      <li>do not re-use same passwords on multiple accounts;</li>\n      <li>constantly check your IP environment from the public internet area;</li>\n    </ul>\n  </li>\n  <li>When outsourcing your IT tasks, make sure you work with a provider you can trust. A regular independent security audit won’t hurt at all just like the services provided by <a href=\"https://hub.hacken.io/\">Hacken specialists.</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br>\n<br>\n</p>\n</html>",

This time we decided to find out how BigONE exchange managed to score <strong>an impressive 6,300,000% rise of BTC/USDT trade volume in just 3 days</strong>.&nbsp;</p>\n<h1>Overview</h1>\n<p>Founded on June 24, 2017, by a well-known Chinese Bitcoin investor Li Xiaolai, BigONE still seems to have a lot of mystery behind it. The average daily volume of BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, and BCH/USDT was less than 1 BTC since the first trading day of January 23, 2018. <strong>For almost 5 months its daily trade volume did not exceed 15 BTC when suddenly it magically hit 401 BTC on June 21</strong>, and this little-known crypto exchange was in CMC’s Top-3! What is more, now BigONE has a daily trade volume of 221.9M which is 2.3 times higher than Bittrex(94.5M) and 4.5 times than Poloniex (48.5M). <em>Coincidence? We do not think so.</em></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Our team overviewed BigONE and found out that overall there are 82 cryptocurrency listings in it. Also, this crypto exchange applies the RAM Real Trading, meaning that it is selling its computing power to everyone. We as well analyzed BigONES’s community engagement and its <strong>official chat group</strong> has 35323 members, its <strong>Twitter</strong> account has 10105 subscribers, (however, only 120 likes), also only 500 subscribers on <strong>Facebook</strong> and 154 on <strong>Steemit</strong>.</p>\n<h1>Chart Volume Pattern Analysis</h1>\n<p>There was conducted a chart volume pattern analysis on daily charts of 4 major pairs.<strong> </strong>It let us get closer to getting to know how 63,000 times rise of BTC from 2 BTC on June 20th to 51K BTC on June 23 happened. We noticed that the recurrent daily trading activity is always starting and ending at the same time every day. Moreover, with the help of marketing analytical service Alexa.com we saw that there were not that many visitors who BigONE hit the record numbers. This indicates that the crypto exchange was modifying its trade volumes to make a false impression of high liquidity.&nbsp;</p>\n<h1>Historical Trade Data Analysis</h1>\n<p>Another analysis was made based on BigONE’s historical trade data. Not surprisingly there were discovered a lot of trades of equal size with 4 to 6-second intervals which, of course, are indicators of volume manipulations. Thus, the only explanation of such an extreme jump (from 149.5 BTC in May to over 751,000 BTC in June) in monthly volume for BTC/USDT is that BigONE is manipulating its volume by wash trading.&nbsp;</p>\n<h1>Marketing Analysis Of Data From Open Sources</h1>\n<p><strong>Our final marketing analysis included data from open sources: daily trading volume on CMC, unique users, traffic, and social media activity. </strong>It showed that even disregarding the fact that top exchanges have more users than BigONE, its trading volume is still a few times higher. We also discovered that Direct Visits, Referral Traffic from CMC, CandyOne, Feixiaohao and Organic Search are the main traffic sources for BigONE. What conclusion can we draw from this information? Right, that company does not spend money on Paid Marketing or for organic community building. BigONE’s social media accounts might have subscribers and followers, but they certainly lack engagement including likes, reposts, retweets, comments, etc.&nbsp;</p>\n<h1>Summing Up</h1>\n<p>All in all, BigONE’s trading volume is much higher than that of other large exchanges like Bittrex and Poloniex; however, it has a pretty weak community activity which makes this all a fascinating case. Curious how numbers and simple observations helped us to get to the bottom of this mysterious BigONE’s success?&nbsp;</p>\n<p><em>Check </em><a href=\"https://hacken.live/2MkHliD\"><em>the whole article</em></a><em> and do not forget to contribute your thoughts and ideas to the global crypto community to help us get rid of fraud of exchanges and finally make this industry mature!</em></p>\n</html>",
