The Target: Wormhole, a cryptocurrency online trading platform.
The Take: $322 million ETH currency.
The Vector: A website vulnerability allowed the attacker to fool the exchange software to release far greater number of the ETH currency than was specified through a temporary token. By altering the conversion, the hacker was able to withdraw far more than the number the entered.
This breach highlights the importance of locking input forms in a firm’s website, be it a name field, email field, or account field, anywhere the user is sending information to the database is a prime target for threat actors. Regular testing for software vulnerabilities is a key component of upholding robust cybersecurity posture.
