An increased risk to encryption holders
Jameson Lopp, a co -founder of CASA Self -Memory, has created a GitHub list that records dozens of robber robots in non -communication mode, with 22 accidents of the theft associated with encryption so far this year. Many in the encryption industry highlight that the lack of disclosure of its identity is the only way to protect their holders and their nearby circle against the so -called “$ 5 -dollar -bonding key attacks.”
The LOPP menu is likely to reduce the total number of attacks targeting people to participate in the encryption industry. A study at the University of Cambridge in September 2024 found that the so -called “fastening key attacks” are often reported due to reactivation concerns.
