Attack vectors in crypto are evolving, and so must best practices. Ciaran Lyons was joined by CertiK CEO, Ronghui Gu to discuss the $285M Drift protocol exploit, the rise of social engineering, and much more. Essential viewing 👇 #CHAINREACTION

@itsciaranlyons @CertiK @RonghuiGu 7 questions that could have saved DeFi $2 billion

@itsciaranlyons @CertiK @RonghuiGu Exploits happen; security always lags innovation, unfortunately.

@itsciaranlyons @CertiK @RonghuiGu Great explaination.

@itsciaranlyons @CertiK @RonghuiGu Code is only as secure as the people protecting it. Projects: want to make sure your team can’t be the next weak link? DM us or book a call at @hackenclub .

@itsciaranlyons @CertiK @RonghuiGu attack surface in crypto really evolving faster than people’s habits 😭

@itsciaranlyons @CertiK @RonghuiGu contracts get harder to break, so hackers just pivot to the humans. M lost to social engineering is actually insane. hardware wallets + strict multisig or don't manage treasury fr

@itsciaranlyons @CertiK @RonghuiGu Security has to evolve too.

@itsciaranlyons @CertiK @RonghuiGu Hmmm 🤔

@itsciaranlyons @CertiK @RonghuiGu This is good

A single 74-byte primitive now gives any blockchain, any database, any system capabilities it never had: Post-quantum security without a fork. AI agent outputs attested at every handoff - tamper-evident, traceable, quantum-resistant. Encrypted computation results signed without decryption. Oracle inputs and outputs both attested simultaneously. Every tokenized asset gets permanent quantum-resistant compliance provenance. Legal evidence chains. Medical records. Live video authenticated at capture. Any API response attested in a single HTTP header. Any file. Any size. Any system. The signatures are 21,063 bytes. The permanent footprint is 74 with no compression. As quantum computers get more powerful and keys get heavier and the footprint never changes even if keys get fatter (which they will) One primitive. Every chain. Every database. Every AI agent. Every computation on earth. No protocol changes. No consensus modifications. No validator upgrades. Patent pending. Verified on Bitcoin mainnet. 118 tests passing. Whitepaper attached. This is real and running in production.

@itsciaranlyons @CertiK @RonghuiGu Man, $285M Drift hack hits hard. Social engineering's sneaky AF now. We can't just HODL blindly—time for smarter wallets and 2FA everywhere. What prevention tips stood out? 🔒

@itsciaranlyons @CertiK @RonghuiGu Nice 👍

@itsciaranlyons @CertiK @RonghuiGu Attackers are getting smarter, social engineering is the real threat now. Must watch.
