Infini laboratories filed their lawsuit in Hong Kong, through her branch of BP SG investment holding limited. The guidance is that as the main programmer, Chen to CEN heat retained “Super Administrator” and used this privilege to spine millions of dollars in the crippt from the company.

It is interesting that a picture of Chena’s picture is a picture of Chena as a man in debt and massive gambler.

The case follows the suffering of the credit card of the cryptocurrency from the exploitation that saw $ 49.5 million for exhausted From his cash registers. The initial reaction to the loss was it was the work of the hacker.

However, the lawsuit puts Chen on the spot on the spot, with documents presented before the Court seeking the property of the accused is freezing. Infini Labs also asked the court to force her former leadership engineer to reveal further details on transactions.

The exploit is an “example of an assistant textbook”

Trugard CTO and co-founder Jeremiah O’Connor said Cripto.News in a statement that the exploitation of the textbook of the insider attacks “within the Web3 space. Specifically, when one engineer does not contain “unverified power” on the smart contract, it creates a central point of failure.

When the financial despair meets unlimited control. This is another call that is another awake in the dangers of centralized organ.”

Safety in Defi must rely on more than just trust, he said. If Infini had decentralized protective measures such as a multi-signature wallet, transparency on chain or time traces for administrator changes, exploitant would not be likely. As such, each project that assigns “absolute control” to one individual “looking for problems”.

In Web3, security does not apply to trust; It’s about checking, forced protection before things go south, “O’Connor concluded.
