The internet, and by extension, the decentralized Web3 space, never stays quiet. This week’s ThreatsDay Bulletin highlights a continuous barrage of new hacks, scams, and critical security vulnerabilities. The ongoing narrative is clear: attackers are rapidly shifting their tactics, minor mistakes are escalating into major risks, and even outdated exploitation tools are finding novel ways to breach defenses.
For Web3 professionals, several issues demand immediate attention. Flaws like the RustFS vulnerability and the potential for WebUI Remote Code Execution (RCE) pose significant risks to underlying Web3 infrastructure, including node operators and dApp cloud environments. Attackers frequently leverage external infrastructure vulnerabilities—like those stemming from improper cloud configurations or critical RCE vectors—as springboards to eventually compromise the smart contract layer itself.
Yet, there is encouraging news on the defense front. A major takeaway this week is the successful deployment of advanced honeypots. Reports indicate that hackers have ‘fallen for’ these cleverly designed traps, allowing defenders to gather invaluable intelligence on current adversary Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs). This success validates the increasing importance of active defense strategies, moving beyond passive security measures to proactively learn and anticipate the next wave of attacks. Stay informed and patch diligently before the next threat hits.
