SlowMist Cosine updates on Venus security incident: The protocol should be fine, major holder's computer may have been compromised

BlockBeats News, on September 2, SlowMist Cosine provided the following update on the Venus security incident on the X platform:

1. There should be no issues with the Venus protocol itself, but the possibility of the Venus frontend being hijacked cannot be ruled out, which could be used to launch phishing attacks targeting large holders (the Venus team can also investigate this aspect);

2. The computers of large holders may have been specifically targeted with malware attacks (currently under investigation);

3. The hacker acted with strong premeditation, and the source of funds is somewhat complex, with the gas fees coming from XMR exchanges;

4. Large holders and SlowMist are in communication, so many details are not being disclosed for now. Additionally, the actual loss may not have exceeded $20 million.
