@yersocialistdad: Their secret key was the number 4. Not 4 followed by hundreds of digits. Just 4. A company trusted to protect your bank login, cracked in under a second. Today they quit the business. All about the emudhra incident

Matthew DeKrey :

To be fair, I never would have guessed that a private key would be 4.

Just A Random Dood :

it's called 2-factor authentication because the two factors are 2×2=4 LOL

Chris Durbin :

ya know how quick a brute force woulda worked. holy hell

mirakul_max :

so, president skroob and the air shield of planet druidia was more secure?

Econs :

I saw a theory that it was supposed to be randomly generated 256 bit numbers. Instead of what it did was randomly generate numbers between zero and 256.

hvymtlrlz87 :

tbf, it did have a lot of zeros in front of it

Rusty Shackelford :

A process that failed and another process that didn’t get completed. This has AI written all over it.

themadhatta86 :

this screams Delloite level talent...

KandiDeerRaver :

welp.we better start making LOCAL networks

βασιλοκτόνος :

we have got to figure some other way of verifying authenticity than using trusted authorities... I've never liked the certificate system even when it is working correctly

Guy_Fawkes :

This is being wildly unreported and only bad actors benefit from the under reporting.

Sillyant3689 :

Ive heard the security audits are just security theater. So…..

Avalon Bloom :

But we have to use a million characters, including upper and lower case, includes numbers and special characters, no words. 😒

Stu4U :

42 🤣

They built an empire on a foundation that was never updated.. what did they expect. I dont build a new planet on my stick hut and expect that to go well.. that would be dumb.

evan :

"this is the number four"

AI has been really fucking with my head lately, I swear to God every other person that I know isn't using AI sounds like they are an AI.

Candyfloss :

The number four is funny till you remember they're master keys. but 'passed two audits' is the real story. already updated my browser, my router's on its own though.😊

Dr. Phil Harmonic :

This has a very strong whiff of fox guarding the hen house

J :

I mean..... it was so stupid it was secure

Clinton Knight :

They could only count to 4.
