Today in Bitcoin History / @daily_btc_lore: R to @daily_btc_lore: 6/8 - About 40 minutes later, the swap went through anyway. Pysh said Verizon confirmed it was pushed through on an "employee bypass," the same shortcut behind the wider wave.

Today in Bitcoin History / @daily_btc_lore: R to @daily_btc_lore: 5/8 - On June 24, 2023, he noticed a SIM-reset attempt on his own number and called Verizon right away to flag it.

Today in Bitcoin History / @daily_btc_lore: R to @daily_btc_lore: 4/8 - @PrestonPysh, co-host of We Study Billionaires, had already watched the pattern hit other Bitcoin people and moved his important accounts off SMS codes onto authenticator apps months earlier.

Today in Bitcoin History / @daily_btc_lore: R to @daily_btc_lore: 3/8 - A lot of the wave ran on a simpler trick than hacking: pay a telecom employee roughly $300 and they push a number onto a new SIM themselves, bypass codes and all.

Today in Bitcoin History / @daily_btc_lore: R to @daily_btc_lore: 2/8 - The month before, Blockchain Capital founder Bart Stephens lost $6.3 million after attackers took over his phone number.

Today in Bitcoin History / @daily_btc_lore: R to @daily_btc_lore: 6/7 - While 0.8.3 reduced the original attack, message handling remained an area of active research. Further refinements to how nodes processed and validated incoming data continued through the rest of 2013 as edge cases were discovered.

Today in Bitcoin History / @daily_btc_lore: R to @daily_btc_lore: 5/7 - On June 25, 2013, Bitcoin-Qt 0.8.3 shipped: strip anything oversized before it reaches memory. It meaningfully closed the original hole. https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.8.3

Today in Bitcoin History / @daily_btc_lore: R to @daily_btc_lore: 4/7 - It stores the bloated version anyway, bytes and all. Send enough oversized messages and you can stuff a node's memory until it chokes and crashes. One attacker, an ordinary connection, and nodes falling off the network. The bug was catalogued as CVE-2013-4627.

Today in Bitcoin History / @daily_btc_lore: R to @daily_btc_lore: 3/7 - Researcher @peterktodd found the loophole: take one normal, valid transaction, then staple a pile of meaningless extra bytes onto the message carrying it. Bitcoin's logic ignores the extra bytes but the node's memory does not.

Today in Bitcoin History / @daily_btc_lore: R to @daily_btc_lore: 2/7 - Every Bitcoin node passes new transactions to its neighbors, like gossip spreading person to person. To avoid repeating itself, each node keeps a short-term memory of what it's already shared, sized for an ordinary transaction.

Today in Bitcoin History / @daily_btc_lore: June 25, 2013 (13 years ago) Bitcoin-Qt 0.8.3 patches a bug that could crash nodes Picture mailing a letter stuffed with bricks the carrier still hauls. That's roughly what an attacker did to Bitcoin nodes in 2013, and the first fix had a bug of its own. Brief thread... 🧵👇

Impera | ₿ / @imperabtc: Ontem falei que construí a IMPERATRIZ porque minha linha editorial estava manual demais. Mas o ponto principal não era só "ganhar tempo". Era reduzir a dependência da minha própria desorganização. Porque existe uma diferença entre ter ideias e ter um sistema editorial. Mas sem enrolação, vamos ao que importa: A primeira camada da Imperatriz funciona pelo Telegram. - Por quê? Porque a ideia não espera eu sentar no computador para escrever.
