Case File #73 examines a recurring theme across modern cryptocurrency attacks: blockchain infrastructure can operate exactly as designed while surrounding systems fail.
The episode covers the August 9 Coinsbuy incident spanning Ethereum and TRON, exploitation involving BTCPay Server and LND credentials, a macOS ClickFix malware campaign targeting cryptocurrency users, emerging security risks created by AI-controlled wallets, and research demonstrating transaction-simulation phishing.
The overarching lesson is that crypto security increasingly depends on protecting the entire operational environment rather than focusing exclusively on seed phrases and private keys.
