My guest today is my friend Brian Norton, the Chief Operations Officer of MEW (MyEtherWallet). MyEtherWallet (MEW) is an open-source, client-side interface that allows users to interact directly with the Ethereum blockchain, without having to join a centralized exchange. One of the first such interfaces of its kind, MEW allows users to create and unlock wallets, interact with popular hardware wallets such as Trezor and Ledger, send transactions, interact with contracts, swap tokens, and interact with dApps. Things you can do with MEW: create your own unique Ethereum wallet, send and receive ETH and tokens, explore theirDApp store where users can earn on their deposits with Aave, open a vault with MakerDAO, or register and manage your ENS domains and deploy and interact with smart contracts. Brian has a background in operations, digital content development, and brand strategy. He specializes in keeping organizations on deadline and in touch with their target audiences. He has built years of start-up operational management experience in industries across the tech space, including edu-tech, industrial automation, and now blockchain. Brian's work at MEW is driven by the idea that blockchain technologies, designed for everyday life, will change the way we live for the better in ways we can not yet imagine. The major topics in our conversation include: the growth and evolution of Ethereum and the ETH community, Proof of Stake and Layer 2 scaling solutions, Ethereum as the Cultural Asset Layer, the future is multichain, and much more. We begin our conversation by discussing the evolution and growth of Ethereum and ETH community. Brian does an excellent explaining how Ethereum's finding product market fit and how Ethereum fits within the broader crypto landscape. He also discusses how the ETH community is growing at an exponential rate. Our conversation transitions to scaling the Ethereum network and the role of Layer 2s. Brian breaks down how Layer 2 and Proof of Stake will help scale the Ethereum network to enable global adoption. Brian discusses how projects like Polygon are providing users with a fast and cheap way of transacting but sacrificing some security and decentralization to lower the transaction costs. The next topic we discussed is the history and growth of MyEtherWallet and their tireless support for Ethereum since the inception of the project. We also discuss how Ethereum is becoming the base layer for Cultural Assets. Brain shares how he predicted the rise of NFTs and the proliferation of Culture and Art on Ethereum. We discuss how ETH is beginning to become ubiquitous within the sectors of society that are concerned with Culture and the Arts and what that means for the future of the Creator Economy. A major talking point of our conversation were the 5 spokes of life and how Web3 enables humans to scale these spokes much easier. We discuss the importance of Family, Finance, Friends, Faith, Fitness. One of our final conversation topics was the reality we are headed to a multichain world and what is Ethereum's role within the broader blockchain ecosystem. Brain firmly believes ETH will be the settlement-layer for smart contract blockchains that enables the proliferation of Finance to Culture on the Blockchain.

Kosala Hemachandra is the founder and CEO of MyEtherWallet, one of the original and most popular Ethereum wallets. MEW is now at the center of a fast growing ecosystem designed to become the nexus of Ethereum. Why you should listen: MyEtherWallet was founded in 2015, ten days after the launch of Ethereum - as one of the first client-side interfaces for the Ethereum blockchain. With first-mover advantage, it became the default Ethereum wallet for the first users of Ethereum. MyEtherWallet was a popular and user-friendly wallet that supported ERC-20 tokens — important for engaging with ICOs. As a result, MEW attracted a large user-base during the ICO boom of 2017. Kosala says, “the MEW motto is that if it works with Ethereum it works with MEW. Our goal is to become the nexus of Ethereum.” MEW is the umbrella brand for the MEW ecosystem that includes MEWwallet, MEWtopia, and MEWconnect. Key takeaway: Kosala says there are some similarities between the ICO boom of 2017 and the current interest in DeFi. He says that is human nature to be attracted to hype and speculation. However, he says he is excited by the promise and potential of DeFi as a technology and what it brings to Ethereum. The first MyEtherWallet DeFi integrations are with Ren and Aave, with more to come. The new MyEtherWallet DeFi integrations use MEWconnect, a connection protocol designed to let Dapp developers make their Dapps available to MEW users. Dapp developers can make their products available to a large user base while MEW users can access the growing suite of decentralized tools and apps designed to navigate the Ethereum ecosystem.

Hello Defiers! This week’s interview is with MyEtherWallet founder and CEO Kosala Hemachandra. As the head of one of the most popular Ethereum interfaces, Kosala has a unique perspective on how the global pandemic has impacted activity. He also shared how coronavirus has disrupted his own life, and talks about what it’s like to run a company from his bedroom at his family’s home in Sri Lanka, on opposite timezones as the rest of his team. He also talks about how crypto was built for crises, about the importance of building a decentralized product —if it’s custodial, it’s not worth it— and what he believes the future of digital wallets will look like. Lastly, he told me about MEW’s next big projects: a DEX.

Many people find that the crypto-finance space is quite difficult for non-technical people to understand and interact with the technologies. Some projects and people have made tremendous progress in creating tools and interfaces that allow a broader audience to participate, speculate, and learn.Taylor Monahan started MyEtherWallet as a side project in 2015, only for it to grow into one of the significant pieces of software people used to participate in the 2017 ICO boom. She has since "design-forked" the codebase and created MyCrypto, an open-source tool for generating ether wallets, handling ERC-20 tokens, and interacting with the blockchain with a clean and intuitive design.Topics covered in this episode:Taylor's background, and how she got into cryptocurrencyWhat her experience was with Ethereum so early in the projects lifecycleHow Reddit comments helped guide the feature list in the early days of MyEtherWalletHow the DAO hack got her working full time on MyEtherWalletBuilding a project before “founding a company”Experiencing the ICO boom as the main wallet used to participate in token generation eventsWhere MyCrypto is at todayHow Taylor wants MyCrypto to change the user experience in cryptocurrencyTaylor’s view on centralized exchanges and view of the futureEpisode links:MyCrypto Beta#MyCryptoWinter is back!

I'm Chitra Ragavan, Chief Strategy Officer at Gem. This podcast is recorded at the Gem Studios here in Los Angeles. The topic of today's discussion is security best practices in cryptocurrency investing. Joining me are two amazing guests, Calley Nye, Founder and CEO of Siren.io and Slumber Party.io. And Alison Burger, who is the Co-founder of Women of Crypto, the Instagram, Facebook, and Telegram communities. Thank you so much for joining us. Calley: Thank you for having us. Alison: Thanks for having us. Chitra: My first question is, what was the most valuable advice you received when starting investing and that you'd like to pass along, Alison? Alison: Yeah, I would say that the best advice I got when I first started was to invest slowly. Go on to a main exchange, buy the main tokens, only invest like a hundred dollars at a time. Kind of play around with the market and see what's happening before going all in on any one coin, or any one investment, and kind of get your feet wet slow. Keep everything all in one place I think is important when you're just getting started, because otherwise it can be confusing. Where did I leave my Ether, where did I put my Bitcoin, what did I do with that Litecoin. Keep it all in one place when you're just starting out. You can keep it on an exchange, in a wallet. Don't start selling too much, hold on to it, I think that's important too because eventually you're going to have to start reporting all of your transactions for tax purposes. So keep it simple, play it safe, I think those are my best tips. Calley: That's good. I'd say don't be crippled by fear. It's good to have a healthy amount of fear when you're going into these things, but acknowledge it and own it, it is part of the process. Don't hold out too long, take chances, but take small chances, still be afraid of general risks and stuff like that. But generally, just acknowledge fear as part of the process. Chitra: All great advice. So let's step back for a minute and ask, what are the different ways to store crypto assets? What are the security implications of each of those? Calley: I'd say there's a few. Obviously there are hot and cold wallets. Hot wallets meaning they're connected to the Internet, cold wallets meaning they're not connected to the Internet, and there are also exchanges. They all have different risks. I like to diversify, so I have some in exchanges, the risks there are that somebody can get your login and steal all your money and send it out, and they can't do anything about that, or that the exchange itself is compromised in some way. Calley: For hot and cold wallets, generally one of the biggest risks is that you can just lose your private key or lose access to it, because it's custodial. You're owning it, so it's your responsibility which is always kind of a scary thing to have that much responsibility. So, yeah. I would say keep everything diversified, and keep it in a few different places, that's the safest way, because nothing is really that safe. Alison: I mean, I think she covered all of it, but I'll just leave everyone with one last thought, which is, wallets these days are their own banks. So they're super, super important because we're used to having our money backed by the Federal Reserve in bank accounts, which can easily be recovered if we call and say, "I didn't spend that money." So, I think it's super, super important to think about wallets and where you're going to keep them, and also I would say having a physical hardware wallet is probably the safest, but also the most prone to, "Oops, I don't know what I did with it. Where did it go? I put it in the safe, but then someone was in my house so I took it with me somewhere, and oh my gosh, what did I do with it?" So, always have a back up there. Chitra: I recently had that experience. I couldn't kind find what it is I wanted, a couple of moments of panic there. But it seems like the sense of responsibility and ownership seems to be one of the things that really defines crypto investing compared to traditional investing, that you are really responsible for your wealth. Calley: That's the scariest part honestly. That it's all on you. There's not anybody to blame, that you're not gonna call your mom and say, "This bank is so stupid." It's all on you, and it's really hard to have that kind of responsibility, and we're just not used to it. I like it, I think that I trust myself and I trust my abilities more than other people's. So I like having that aspect, but a lot of people can get scared by it. It's also just so new to understand... you can't call somebody and say, "I forgot my password or I don't know how to access my account. Someone stole my money.” There's nobody to answer the phone. Chitra: Is there any moment when you had that realization early in the game? Alison: Yes, but not through a physical wallet issue, another issue, where I thought I had transferred a certain amount, but I didn't see the whole amount go into the other exchange, and I'm not sure where it went, and I tried to track it. Yeah. When you start exchanging coin-for-coin instead of buying fresh with USD it starts to get confusing. Calley: Yeah. I remember there was one time I sent money on GDAX. I think I was just sending it from GDAX to MyEtherWallet. I was still early on so I was still managing the private key, which was so stressful to have this private key that you would have to paste before I got my Ledger. And I remember. That was right when I sent it, GDAX kind of went down. So I spent six hours just in utter fear that I had screwed up, and it wasn't gonna get there. Chitra: GDAX being the exchange for beginners, GDAX being the exchange, the private key. Calley: It's actually technically Coinbase Pro, I keep forgetting that now, but yeah I was... that's how you convert to USD, so I was getting paid in Ethereum at the time. So I was putting large sums of money in Ethereum that I would have to transfer all at once. So… Chitra: And define private key for those who are just starting out. Calley: Well private key... When you think about the private and public keys, your public key is like your bank account number and your private key is like your ATM pin. That's the one you're not gonna be sharing with everybody. And one is just the identifier where the money is going and one is how to access. It's the control. So that's one. MyEtherWallet is a really popular tool and they have such heavy warnings when you sign in because they're like, "Please, please,” it's like a 12-page pop-up that's like, "Are you sure you understand that this not a bank?" And so before the Ledger Wallet, I was copying and pasting my private key. And it just really stressed me out - that whole process - that it could've been hacked or if I could've been sending money to somebody else. It was very very stressful. So, yeah. Chitra: When I first saw that extensive disclosure on MyEtherWallet… Calley: Yeah. Chitra: I just exed out of the browser and just decided not to do anything for a few weeks. Alison: Abort mission. Calley: Yeah. Chitra: Yeah. But so you find kind of this pathway - right - through which people invest. What are the different points where your security best practices come into play? Alison: I would say immediately, of course. Even when you're just starting out and say you want to create an account on Coinbase. At that point, I think the very first thing to do is go into Gmail, create a new email account that no one ever will know - a very secret account that you only use for your crypto-exchanges, wallets, transactions. Even online banking you can put there. Things like legal documents for corporations and what not; and companies and LLC's; medical records, things like that. Or just your crypto. That's fine, too. But I think even just when you're first getting your first exchange, your first account with your first exchange, get that email set up. That's very important. And at the same time, you might as well get a Google Voice account, right then and there. Get a different number. Make sure you'll be using that number for any sort of public page that's gonna display your cell phone number or your business cards, your website, something like that. And then, remove your personal cell phone number from all of your Gmail accounts and all of your email accounts, really. Those are some really good first steps in the very beginning of the process. Calley: Yeah and in my experience, people have - women especially, in my experience... Because with Slumber Party, I talk to a lot of women who are just starting out in their crypto-journey. They use all these security best practices and things like that. It's kind of an excuse to not start. They're kind of scared off by the idea. So I say it's usually pretty safe just putting 20 bucks in Coinbase. Just download the app and put in 20 bucks and see how that goes. And then if you're still willing, it gets you excited and you're still willing to put more in... Then as you progressively add more money, you can progressively get safer as you go. If you lose 20 bucks, who really cares? The longer you get into it, the more money that you get, the more you should take an interest. I started out, I was working a broke startup job. I was starting a new company and was making very very little money per year, so I was basically saving like 5 dollars a week. And I was putting $5 a week in my Coinbase account. And after like 4 months of that, when Ethereum was 7 dollars... So after a few months of it and it hit 300 and I had a thousand dollars. So it was like... That's when I was like, "Now I have to start getting serious about this.” And around then is when I bought my first Ledger Wallet and I started playing around with exchanges and I started cracking down on everything. But there's people who have millions of dollars in crypto who have lighter security practices than the people who are getting crippled with $100. So, kind of keep it in perspective too. The email one is just a super easy one to do. You might as well just do that. But the other thing is the hardware wallet. You don't have to go overboard at first. Chitra: Yeah. So if there was a call-to-action to everybody listening and watching this, what would that one thing be that everyone should do today? Alison: I would say the most important thing is to secure your phone number, your personal phone number and get a Google Voice number and to actually secure your phone number. Call your provider and say, "Hey, I'm trying to avoid my account being ported, my number being ported. Can you turn... " I think some providers can actually disable the ability to port a number and you can ask them for that. But also add another level of security onto your phone number so if someone tries to call and reset your password or get access to your phone number, you can then have a private key that they actually won't know. Calley: Yeah. I would just agree with that. Chitra: You would disagree? Calley: Yeah, I would agree with that. Chitra: Oh, you would agree with that? Calley: Yeah. Chitra: Okay. So despite all of our best efforts, something happens. How do you recover and what are the kinds of things that can happen, that can go wrong in this process? Calley: Well I would say, definitely don't give up because... Kind of accept it as a loss and rebuild from there. But if you stop, then that's just a loss. But from obviously resetting everything, wiping your phone, starting from scratch, even maybe wiping your computer cause you never know what kind of malware that can cause that... Changing your passwords everywhere, moving everything to new wallets... It's super easy to create new wallets and move everything over, buy a new Ledger, basically reset everything. And really take a look at... Obviously, it depends on what happened, if you can diagnose what happened. And learn from those mistakes. Chitra: Do you have any advice… Alison: All awesome advice. Another thing that I would do - or probably the first thing that I would do - would be to call one of my best friends who's a tech genius guru - knows everything, blockchain, and just tech in general - and ask for his/her support. Chitra: Cry for help. Calley: Yeah. Chitra: Or call for help, I guess. Alison: He's kind of a hacker so he would know. Calley: Yeah. One of my favorite things about crypto is that it's decentralized, which means we would have to rely on each other for the system to work. So communities are really important. So going to your favorite community and having a community, in the first place, is a good preventative step too. Cause they'll always... You can learn lessons from them, through them, pass on this tribal knowledge, and maybe prevent things before they happen. Like if somebody else gets hacked, you’ll know. Then they know how to prevent it the next time for you. So being involved in communities is a really important step and especially when you're going through something like that. Going to the community and asking them for their support is always helpful. Chitra: That's great. And in closing, looking back at when you were first starting, is there one thing you wish you had known or something you'd have done differently if you had the opportunity to start with a clean slate? Calley: I probably would've started sooner. I think I probably waited 2 years before I felt comfortable enough to do it. And I think it would be really different if I didn't wait. So if you're thinking about it, just dip your toe in. You don't have to jump in, yet. Dip your toe in and be tentative, but brave. There's a lot to learn. There's a lot to do. It's really fun. So I wouldn't... I would tell everybody that and I wish I could tell myself that 3 years ago. Alison: I definitely agree with that. I think all of us on planet Earth are kicking ourselves that we didn't do it... That's a big one, for sure. What else? Probably getting myself secure sooner, too. Right now is actually one of the best times to get started and buy and get involved because the markets are down, by the dip. You know? That's a real thing. Right now, I'm buying more. I recommend that everybody else buy more and hold on to it because we're here for the long-run. It's not just about gains. It's not just about making money. It's about so much more. Chitra: So they shouldn't look at the fluctuations and think, "This is not a good time" and… Calley: Yeah, I think there's this paradox that this technology is gonna change the world and it has the power to do so much for so many people and so much good that we can't just look at the numbers. It's not just those numbers. Those numbers can represent the larger, the whole, but the volatility - if anything - is gonna be what prevents it from being great. Because the volatility is what prevents people from actually taking action with it and from it being a viable currency. So eventually the volatility will die down and it will become more stable. So I see this as a good thing. This volatility thing is kind of evening out to a certain extent. It's a good thing in the long term for the technology. It may not be good for our portfolios but I'm in it because I believe in the technology and I believe in what it can do. So I'm in it for the long haul. Chitra: We've talked about a lot of things today, given people a lot of advice. What are the top 3 tips that you would like to share that they should take away? Alison: Yeah. I would say top 3 takeaways and action items from today would be phone number, making sure your phone number is secure, meaning removing it from all your emails as a backup, getting a Google Voice number and replacing all of your listings of your phone number on any public place. Start giving that phone number out on your business card, things like that. I would also say number two is going to be get a secret email account that no one else has access to or even knows exists. Use that for all of your crypto-logins. And number three, make sure to have some sort of password-saving application on your computer. So even something like a LastPass or 1Password, which comes with Mac and have a master password for that that's never touched the internet anywhere. Make that the most secure password that you have. Save all of your passwords there. You can also save your public keys and other two-factor authentication passwords inside of LastPass in the note section which is like extra extra hidden away, which obviously you need a password to get into. And then also have a Google Authenticator on your phone and use that for all of your accounts. Calley: To add on to that list - because those are all great - I would say that in any type of technical system, the biggest vulnerability is you and humans. So basically, there's always these things that we have to be extra careful of. There's one thing that we haven't really talked about but is plaguing, ends up in people losing their crypto, is scams. And so when you are sending money to anybody, make sure you're triple, quadruple sure that this is the right person, the address is secure. I've seen it a lot with the token sales that I've worked on. We have a lot of fake people messaging. People were in the Telegram group saying, "Hey, we have this special deal for you because you've been here for so long. You're such a great member. All you have to do is send your Ethereum to this number.” And I know that some token sales have had more money scammed than actually raised for the technology. So be extra careful of those types of things. It's not just technology or hackers. It's sometimes you being not as smart. So just be super clear about all those things. Haves secure passwords. It doesn't necessarily mean that they're hard to remember. A character is a character to a machine, so numbers and special characters don't really make that much of a difference. So it's better to have a longer password. So if it's a sentence or if it's a longer thought, it's a little bit easier for us to remember and also harder for a computer to crack. And again, just don't be so afraid. Chitra: That's great and have you learned lessons the hard way? Have each of you lost money or had your phones hijacked or afraid that they were about to be hijacked? Have you ever had a close-call or have you been practicing these things and you've managed to be safe? Alison: I've had close friends be hacked so that almost feels like it's close enough for me. Thank goodness I have not been hacked or ported or anything like that yet. Calley: Yeah, I - knock on wood - I haven't been hacked but as a community manager, I've had to be supportive of a lot of people who've lost money in different ways. But for the most part, another thing that's really important is to be really cognizant of how your technology works. Don't take it for granted like your phone. Usually you have these patterns that you have your phone... By the end of the day it's at 30 percent, you plug it in on your nightstand. That's a pattern. If that pattern never changes, then that's something you have to be afraid of. So that's one of the things that you have to look out for. So sometimes if my battery's running too hot or if it's running out too fast, I'll just reset my phone to factory settings just to make sure that there isn't anything sneaking on there. I do the same thing with computers. I used to be a coder so I'm pretty on top of keeping everything really safe and secure. So I think I'm lucky but also pretty good at protecting myself so everybody just needs to do the same. But I've seen a lot. It happens to the best of us, even the best hackers I know have been hacked. Chitra: Which goes to your point of having a community and having friends, people you can trust. You can call and say, "Hey, my computer's running super hot. Should I be worried?" or "There's this suspicious thing going on on my laptop. What should I do?" And for those of us that are lucky to be surrounded by people like that at work or with friends in community, it's really easier. But there are probably a lot of people that are out there who don't have that so who can they turn to? Do they just build that community over time? Calley: I'd say these communities are really open. There are a lot of great communities of Facebook and Telegram. There's really... There's no reason to not be in any of them and they can be really great. I work with one company called Coin Vision and they have a community on Discord that's really helpful and I've learned so much from just being in that community. I have a community for women on Facebook called Slumber Party. These communities are easy to access. They're usually looking for more people and those are communities where you can feel safe. You don't have to feel like you're asking a stupid question or that anyone's gonna laugh at you or mock you. It's obviously something that happens on other places on the Internet, Reddit... No matter what you use, there's some place. There's some crypto-community that you can reach out to and they'll be happy to have you. Alison: I agree. Just get involved.

Deze zomer hoor je het beste van het afgelopen seizoen BNR Digitaal. Dieven stalen een tijdje geleden veel geld bij gebruikers van MyEtherWallet. Bijzonder aan deze kraak is vooral de manier waarop: niet met malware of via phishing, maar door 'de basisinfrastructuur van het internet' te manipuleren. Daar spraken we over met Erik Bais, oprichter van de zakelijke internetprovider A2B Internet. Backup is securitydeskundige Rickey Gevers.
Sarah's with Joon Ian Wong Managing Director for Europe and Asia at Coindesk and Aaron Stanley, Strategic Communications Lead at Sweetbridge to talk about the latest news, including: Police Confiscate some Bitcoin, Coinbase gets political, and Return of the Bitcoin We kick things off with Surrey police force obtaining 295 bitcoins last October after arresting a Latvian man, who has since been convicted for money laundering and sentenced to nine years in prison. Police since sold the assets for around $1.5 million - back then, the price of a bitcoin was around $5,000. The sale has been ruled as legitimate and the police force is allowed to keep 18.8% of the proceeds for its operational budget. Then we move on to the bitcoin price has climbing above the $8,000 mark for the first time since mid-May, what's pushing up the price, and what's going on with the rumours of a bitcoin exchange traded fund (ETF). Next up, we take a closer look at MyEtherWallet, the most popular crypto wallet service on the internet. It's getting a mobile app in a bid to increase security for users. MEW Connect, is an iOS app that allows users to access their wallet through MyEtherWallet but without the need to type their private key. Instead it uses a QR code and it's free, with 600,000 visitors per day the beta demand is likely to be high. We continue on with VCTRADE, the world's first bank-backed cryptocurrency now opening to the public. Owned by SBI Holdings, the Japanese bank launched its in-house crypto trading platform last month. Launch comes nearly two years after SBI Holdings first announced it would build the exchange in October 2016. The platform received an operating license from Japan's financial watchdog, the Financial Services Agency, late last year. The service is now fully open for users aged from 20–70 who reside in Japan. Debut was delayed as the firm worked to raise levels of internal security following a massive $533 million hack at the country's Coincheck exchange in January. Then we move on to exciting news from Google. Google announced a partnership with the New York-based startup Digital Asset, which makes tools to build blockchain-based apps. Google wrote in a blog post that its Cloud customers can “now explore ways they might use distributed ledger technology (DLT) frameworks” through early access to Digital Asset software aiming to provide developers with a full stack solution so they can unleash the potential for web-paced innovation in blockchain. Next up, Coinbase has formed a political action committee (PAC) to raise money to spend on US elections. Under American federal law, an organization is classified as a PAC if it collects donations worth more than $1,000 from its members and channels them into campaign funds with the intention of influencing an electoral process. The biggest motive for Coinbase is access to the politicians that have substantial influence over financial regulatory policy. Finally, we discuss BitTorrent Inc. being acquired by TRON Foundation. BitTorrent Inc, the parent company behind the popular file-sharing client uTorrent, has confirmed its acquisition by the TRON Foundation. The TRON foundation has its own cryptocurrency and the idea is apparently to create. We take a look at what this means for blockchain and if crypto may go the way of BitTorrent, exciting technology that's used for a whille before being supplanted. And our Tweet of the week this time comes from @SmartereumTV Colin G. Platt catches up with Marieke Flament, Europe MD and CMO of Circle to talk about the tokenisation of everything.

Het Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) 'hacken' is redelijk gemakkelijk om te doen, maar niet zo toegankelijk, omdat je op de basisinfrastructuur van het internet moet zitten en een kostbare BGP-router nodig hebt. Dat vertellen cybersecurity-deskundige Rickey Gevers en Erik Bais, oprichter van de zakelijke Internet Service Provider A2B Internet. Onlangs werden enkele gebruikers van Ethereum-wallet MyEtherWallet bestolen door middel van zo'n BGP-hijack. Echter, de gedupeerde gebruikers zijn zelf ook niet zo slim geweest, door een waarschuwing over certificaten te negeren.
Últimamente se habla mucho de secuestro de direccionamientos, para evitar que nos secuestren un rango o al menos enterarnos RIPE pone a nuestra disposición la certificación de recursos (RPKI), obviamente esta no es la única … La entrada Ataque a myetherwallet, como se podría haber minimizado se publicó primero en Eduardo Collado.
After reading articles by Doug Madory, and by Louis Poinsignon, here are some notes I observed and learned.[What happened in this incident?]Hackers somehow made some BGP routers of “eNet” to falsely announce that they own the following 5 IP subnets, which are indeed NOT belonging to “eNet”. The true owner is Amazon. To be more specific, they are for Amazon’s Route 53 DNS name resolution services.205.251.192.0/24205.251.193.0/24205.251.195.0/24205.251.197.0/24205.251.199.0/24The registered domain server for domain “MyEtherWallet.com” is hosted on Amazon Route 53.Hackers also somehow embedded malicious DNS server (or servers, I really don’t know) also inside service network of “eNet”.After that, any affected clients’ DNS query for domain “MyEtherWallet.com” would hit hacker’s malicious DNS server. Of course, malicious DNS server would respond with false IP addresses, and those false IP addresses are indeed hacker’s own web servers.At this moment, clients thought they were accessing “MyEtherWallet.com”, and they indeed were accessing hacker’s web servers.[Which clients are affected?]I believe all clients inside “eNet”, and any clients in other Internet Service Providers who trusted “eNet”’s false announcements, would be affected as well.[Network “eNet” should have been compromised for enough time]To falsely announce BGP routes, we must either change configurations of hardware routers, or BGP route servers (maybe on Linux).For me, to configure BGP correctly on a couple of Cisco routers is already a heavy task. It’s not easy. To modify existing BGP configurations to inject false announcements without getting noticed, or without breaking anything at the same time, is even a more difficult task for me.I really don’t think it would be easier to achieve the same results by working on BGP route servers.Moreover, hackers even embedded DNS server inside “eNet”’s service network. I really believe hackers had already controlled most of the hardware routers and some hardware servers, maybe for quite a long time, long enough for them to do all such modifications.I really think some hackers involved in this incident are quite skillful at network hardware maybe Cisco’s or Juniper’s. They could also be CCIEs.[BGP Injection, instead of BGP Leak]So, the last thing I want to say is, I would rather call this incident as BGP injection, instead of BGP leak.Why?If I hear someone says BGP Leaks, I would feel maybe some unknown bugs inside BGP protocol or some configuration errors caused this incident. As far as I understand now, I really think the false BGP announcements are “intentional”. I would rather say it is BGP Injection.Although no strong security mechanisms are defined in BGP protocol itself, in this case BGP protocol is not to blame.Flowers of East Asian sage, around Zhoumei Xian Zai Gang Park (洲美蜆仔港公園)Taipei City, Taiwan.One more thing…Amazon is also not to blame for this incident. Clients’ DNS query packets never reached Amazon at all.I suggest Internet Service Providers should pay more attention to the security of their service infrastructure. Don’t become another “eNet”.I also suggest Internet Service Providers should review their incoming BGP policy. In this case, some ISPs other than “eNet” were also affected because their BGP routers “trusted” “eNet”’s false announcements. They affected their own customers and forwarded that false information on at the same time.

我在ITHOME得知這個事件。綜合Doug Madory,還有Louis Poinsignon的這兩篇文章,我來整理發生了什麼事。「中島公園」的秋意濃日本札幌市【駭客的目標】駭客想要欺騙MyEtherWallet.com網站的用戶,改連接到駭客另外準備好的網站。我用瀏覽器作為例子,當不知情的用戶,瀏覽器網址列輸入「MyEtherWallet.com」打開的時候,會以為連接到官方的伺服器。實際上,連線到駭客自己準備好了的伺服器。另外一個背景資訊是,MyEtherWallet.com網站的服務,是架設在Amazon AWS雲運算服務上面的。他們DNS的地址解析,也是直接租用Amazon AWS上面的 Route 53服務。【什麼是Amazon Route 53?】對於一般的用戶來說,Amazon Route 53就是DNS解析服務。但是對於網站業者來說,Route 53是一個智慧型的DNS解析服務。網站伺服器通常都分布在全世界各地。Route 53能夠動態地針對目前各網站伺服器的負載、是否在線的狀態,或是所指定好的規則,針對不同的用戶端DNS請求,回應不同的IP地址。簡單的說,就是Amazon所提供的,全世界都可連接的負載均衡(Global Server Load-balancing)服務。補充一個背景資訊,提供Amazon Route 53服務的伺服器本身的主要公開IP地址,是包含在下面這五個公開地址段裡面。205.251.192.0/24205.251.193.0/24205.251.195.0/24205.251.197.0/24205.251.199.0/24換句話說,任何用戶的電腦,在解析MyEtherWallet.com的時候,都會向這五個地址段裡面的DNS伺服器,發出DNS解析請求封包。【BGP協議快速回顧】BGP協議所執行的工作,就是網路業者內部、或不同業者和業者之間的網路硬體,來交談和探知不同的IP地址段(IP Prefix),分別由那些網路業者所擁有。這個IP地址段誰擁有的資訊,可以讓網路業者的網路硬體,知道不同目的地地址的封包,應該分別往哪個下一站送出。簡單地說,例如網路業者A宣稱擁有IP地址段X,所有參與BGP協議的網路硬體,都會將封包往趨近業者A的方向送出。因此,如果這個資訊是錯誤的,封包就會被往錯誤的方向送出。【駭客做了什麼】駭客想辦法讓美國eNet這家網際網路業者,透過BGP協議,偽冒Amazon的身分,宣稱擁有前面提到的Amazon Route 53的五個IP地址段的路由資訊。換句話說,受害用戶的解析DNS請求,會改成往eNet這家業者的網路送出。我的判斷,eNet業者網路裡面,一定也存在駭客準備好的DNS解析伺服器,IP地址剛好就設定成前面提到的五個地址段內的地址,因此,這些伺服器,可以攔截到受害用戶的DNS解析請求。當然,駭客伺服器回應的解析結果,就是駭客自己準備好了的網站伺服器IP地址。目前已知,這些駭客準備好的網站伺服器,都不在美國國內。另外,只要相信了eNet所宣稱資訊的其他業者,他們的網路用戶,只要打開MyEtherWallet.com網址,受害的結果都是一樣的。因此,駭客的確達到他們設計的目標。One more thing…雖然還沒有足夠證據明確指控,我幾乎可以確定,駭客已經差不多控制了 eNet這個網路業者。不只是能夠產生偽冒的BGP資訊,同時還在eNet網路內部植入了有問題的DNS名稱解析服務。因此,選擇足夠安全的網際網路業者,其實遠比想像中重要。另外,MyEtherWallet.com雖然租用了Amazon.com的各種服務,整個駭客的過程,其實都跟Amazon無關。封包根本就還沒有進入Amazon,就被往駭客的DNS服務送過去。

Blockchain Innovation: Interviewing The Brightest Minds In Blockchain
Taylor Monahan is the Co-Founder of MyEtherWallet, one of the most popular tools of choice for crypto-investors participating in ICOs on the Ethereum Blockchain. Taylor recently launched a new venture – MyCrypto – an open-source, client-side tool for generating Ether wallets, handling ERC-20 tokens, and interacting with the Blockchain more easily. In this episode, Taylor and I discuss: How MyEtherWallet came to be The absence of women in Crypto, and why this technology cannot go mainstream without women James Damore, the Google Engineer who got fired for his controversial memo on women’s suitability for engineering jobs (and what that has to do with the UFC and Ronda Rousey – yes, there is a connection) Taylor’s description of what the ideal ICO would look like Her prediction for ICOs over the next decade (hint: it’s not what you would think)
The cofounder of MyEtherWallet and CEO of newly launched MyCrypto walks us through the nuts and bolts of how MyCrypto works, how it differs from a company like Coinbase, why the keys you get from the site even enable to work offline -- and how the company makes money. She also describes how the crypto community changed in 2017, her crazy sleeping schedule during that year, and how she responds when users ask questions like whether or not an initial coin offering will really deliver on the returns promised. We also cover what it's like being a CEO when running a company was never in her game plan, how she got into crypto after starting off in film school and what her tips are for not losing your crypto. https://mycrypto.com/

“3 billion people on this planet have no access to financial services. Another 2+ billion with limited access. Cryptocurrency will democratize the global financial system where every human being will have equal access to money.” - Brock Pierce Storing cryptocurrency can be risky if the right precaution isn’t taken. Never before has there been such a valuable digital good. Our Internet is not built to safely house cryptos moving through the network. So, we must follow a strict protocol when creating our own infrastructure to house its value. On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we have cryptocurrency-expert, Brock Pierce. Brock is the Chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation, cofounder of Blockchain Capital, and has been in the digital currency game for the past 20 years. His understanding of everything cryptocurrency-related is just what we need to make sense of all the contradicting wallet advice. Don’t forget, you can listen to The Tai Lopez Show on Spotify! Click “Follow” and let me know what you think! “Get 2 wallets. And you’ll learn to have greater redundancy if this becomes millions of dollars.” - Brock Pierce (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Cryptocurrency is a bubble but so is everything else Currently in an emotional market, sentiment is the driving force of prices The blockchain will bring security to Data Transport Protocol A good teacher doesn’t tell you what to do; he or she transfers knowledge and lets you make the decision Imagine a real estate market that’s fractionalized where you can invest in portions Read the Innovator’s Dilemma to learn how the incumbent gets disrupted by the startup The banks will also benefit from blockchain technology We are living in accelerating times; you have to either evolve or die If buying your first coins, use exchanges (these are your on/off-ramps into this world) Good exchanges are: Coinbase, Gemini, Kraken, or Once you have procured coin, move it to both a virtual wallet and a physical (hardware) wallet For virtual, think about desktop/mobile needs for security purposes For bitcoin - Bitcoin Red, Airbitz Jaxx Other options: MyEtherWallet and Exodus, Bitgo for large amounts of money Leave large amounts of money online
BREAKING NEWS STORY! The majority of the team behind MyEtherWallet has left to create a new company. The new hotness is MyCrypto. MyCrypto is a completely new company with the same people! The name MyCrypto allows them to expand into other blockchains in the future and add more functions and not just be a “wallet!” MyCrypto allows for the implementation of new blockchains, features, and partnerships that are going to be awesome. Additionally, they will soon be starting a public beta for those who want to test our new codebase so look out for that! Taylor Monahan joins us on the roundtable to talk about that. In addition Jameson Lopp is our special guest. We discuss the current state of the tech vs the hype around blockchain, challenges faced with creating infrastructure services and a bunch of other philosophically interesting stuff.

What is Taylor Monahans greatest challenge in managing a distributed team? They are TOO efficient! Technology has given rise to more and more distributed teams who work remotely from all over the world, especially in the cryptocurrency space. As the founder of a crypto technology startup, Taylor considers her ability to jump on a call and stir the pot—forcing the team to get to know each other and develop a strong culture—as one of her greatest strengths. Taylor created MyEtherWallet in 2015. The company is an open-source, client-side interface for generating Ethereum wallets. MyEtherWallets global collaboration of talented developers thrive on building intuitive products that easily and securely interact with the Ethereum blockchain. Prior to founding MyEtherWallet, Taylor worked as a front-end developer for Mangrove Web and digital producer for Americhip. She is also a proud NYU film school dropout. Today Taylor shares how she fell into the crypto rabbit hole and the experience that inspired MyEtherWallet. We discuss ICOs, the potential for bad decisions in the emerging crypto tech space, and the value of struggle—for individuals and companies.

“If it becomes big numbers, the world will have changed by then. And the players will be different. That’s the beauty of a market growing this rapidly. It’s changing quickly and it’s very exciting.” - Brock Pierce (click to tweet) Cryptocurrency isn’t all fun and games. It requires thought, care, and responsibility. One dimension that gets overlooked is storage. Cold vs. hard, what are the best types of wallets are the best, do you really need one if you only have say $1,000 invested? On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we answer these questions by discussing wallets with Brock Pierce.

Brock is the Chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation, Cofounder of Blockchain Capital, and has been in the digital currency game for the past 20 years. From articulating what cryptocurrency is to why getting involved now could lead to a huge cash payout for you one day, Brock’s understanding of everything cryptocurrency-related is just what we need to make sense of these Bitcoin headlines dominating our news feeds. Those who don’t believe in the power of cryptocurrency don’t fully understand what it is. And that’s not their fault. Cryptocurrency is a challenging concept for any person to wrap his/her head around. To understand it requires undoing the hardwiring in our brains. We’ve all lived our lives with one definition of money: the paper the government prints that we earn to then use to buy the things we need. But now, we’re hearing about this new type of money where the government or paper isn’t involved. Instead, it’s computer code and a peer-to-peer review system, so unlike it’s paper-cousin it is impossible to be corrupted and all human beings will have equal access to it. But still, what does that really mean? Don’t forget, you can listen to The Tai Lopez Show on Spotify!

I make my objective to be able to teach a child.” - Brock Pierce (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Bitcoin works on a blockchain technology - which is a decentralized and distributed digital ledger, used to record transactions across many computers. This makes it so that the record cannot be altered retroactively. If cryptocurrency reinvents money, then ‘money is power’ will shift to ‘technology is power’ or ‘consciousness is power.’ Cryptocurrency is a bubble but so is everything else Currently in an emotional market, sentiment is the driving force of prices The blockchain will bring security to Data Transport Protocol Read the Innovator’s Dilemma to learn how the incumbent gets disrupted by the startup If buying your first coins, use exchanges (these are your on/off-ramps into this world) Good exchanges are: Coinbase, Gemini, Kraken, or Once you have procured coin, move it to both a virtual wallet and a physical (hardware) wallet For virtual, think about desktop/mobile needs for security purposes For bitcoin - Bitcoin Red, Airbitz Jaxx Other options: MyEtherWallet and Exodus, Bitgo for large amounts of money For physical wallets, have a backup placed in another location Options: Trezor and Ledger Download Google 2-factor authentication (NEVER use SMS authentication) If looking to get into cryptocurrency, first go with the bigger, more well-known coins before investing in smaller, less well-known options Sign up for my new Bitcoin Cryptocurrency Mastermind Here
Taylor Monahan is building MyEtherWallet, an open-source, client-side interface for generating Ethereum wallets & more. Her technology is making it easier to interact with the Ethereum blockchain securely. We had a great discussion about ICOs, early stages of learning about blockchain, and how to stay secure in the Wild West of crypto. Attend my one-day conference January 27th in Pittsburgh. Taylor’s Challenge; Don’t be dismissive of someone asking for help. Self-awareness will make this easier.

This podcast focuses on two questions: How do you buy and sell digital currencies? Should you? Some links mentioned: Coinbase - How I buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. Coinbase is a U.S. based exchange and very professional. I can then store them on Coinbase, send them to a paper wallet, or send them to other exchanges to buy other digital currencies. Shapeshift.io and Changelly.com are great places for converting from one currency to another. Bittrex is another U.S. based exchange that offers access to a large number of currencies. I probably buy most of my digital currencies by buying Bitcoin or Ethereum on Coinbase, then transferring them to Shapeshift, Changelly, or Bittrex. I then can use them to buy other currencies. Coinmarketcap.com is the standard for seeing coin pricing, finding coin websites, finding markets/exchanges, etc. Myetherwallet.com is where I create my Ethereum (can also be used for ERC20 tokens built on Ethereum platform) paper wallets. Always be careful to make sure you go to the right sight as there are many phishing scams out there. Bitcoinpaperwallet.com is where I create my Bitcoin paper wallets. Always be careful to make sure you go to the right sight as there are many phishing scams out there. As mentioned in the podcast, I think prices (August 2017) are very inflated in the digital currency space right now and expect a major correction/crash at some point. I don't know when this will happen (and *could* be wrong), but I fully anticipate it will. That will mark the best time to buy. The age old wisdom of averaging in and being sober holds true. This is all for information purposes, no investment advice.
Shortly after Ethereum launched, Taylor built MyEtherWallet.com with her partner because she wasn't confident with command-line. MyEtherWallet is a “do-it-yourself-&-secure-it-yourself” FREE Ethereum wallet that is extremely easy to use. So obviously, we gots ta talk about it. ICO Woes included. Also we talk about Tropic Thunder, and who can sing R&B better. It gets serious.
