Darktrace’s point of view on the theft of cryptocurrencies suffered by the Ronin Network platform
The theft of cryptocurrencies was made official by Ronin Network last week. A statement from Darktrace takes stock of the situation. The issue has been analyzed da Toby Lewis, Global Head of Threat Analysis di Darktrace. Here is an excerpt of his words:
Darktrace’s comment:
According to a spokesperson for Darktrace: “A theft of this magnitude would suggest a compromise not of individual users of the Ronin platform, but potentially of a user with privileges within Ronin itself, with access to fund administration across multiple accounts. From this point of view, zero-trust cybersecurity has become a growing concern within organizations, particularly for those where actions are assumed to take place in complete anonymity. “
As for the possibility of recovering the cryptocurrencies stolen with the hacker attack, Darktrace highlights the difficulty of the situation. According to the company, in fact, it must be considered that: “the anonymous nature of cryptocurrencies and NFTs introduces a further challenge in recovering lost funds. In fact, tokens and cryptocurrencies are continuously moved between portfolios so that attribution and ownership become increasingly difficult to trace. “
