Anonymous credentials were designed specifically to achieve authentication and identification that are both secure and privacy-preserving. As a result, they fully meet the requirements put forth in the eiDAS 2.0 regulation. (The current design does not.) Moreover, they are by now a mature technology. In particular we recommend to use the BBS family of anonymous credentials, which are efficient and mathematically proven secure.
After leaking the entire database of Chivo users in early April, the hacker group CiberInteligenciaSV started releasing the wallet’s code.
Confiant monitors 2.5+ billion ads per day via 110+ integrations in the advertising stack. This provides great visibility on malicious activity infiltrating the ad stack and the broader Internet. And that includes all the web3 malicious activity funneling thru it.
The variety and the range of our detection enable Confiant to detect unique malicious activity as soon as it surfaces.
SeaFlower is an example of this unique cluster of malicious activities targeting web3 wallet users that we will document in this blog post.
