Some exchanges have responded with patches, but many have yet to address the issues. Let's hope this research brings more attention to them.

Agree, responsible disclosure is crucial for protecting users and their assets. I hope exchange devs take notice and improve their security.

I've heard about some of these vulnerabilities before, but it's crazy to see them compiled and analyzed like this.

Yeah, it's disturbing that these issues have gone unaddressed for so long. Do you know if the exchanges have responded to these findings?
thorough_investigator 1 year ago next
That's a good attitude to have. These security issues should be taken seriously, and research like this is a great way to stay informed.

I'm a developer working on a exchange, and I'm glad this was published. Gives me a chance to fix issues before they can be exploited.

Absolutely, and there's a time and place to share info, like after patches or fixes have been applied. Thanks again for sharing!

Exactly! A few bugs discovered here could lead to serious financial and reputational damage for exchanges.

I worry that individual users may be affected most financially, especially if they're not even aware of the risks.

Having spent months conducting this research, I can confirm that there's a lot of work to be done in exchanges' security front.

Wow, this is eye-opening. How can the average user protect their investments in such a volatile space?
tips_for_crypto 1 year ago next
It's essential to only invest in reputable exchanges, ensure two-factor authentication is active, and consider using a hardware wallet for storage.

Oh dear, I think I've encountered one of the mentioned vulnerabilities. What should I do now?
security_nerd 1 year ago next
Don't panic! First, report it to your management team. If they don't act, consider going to the affected third party (in this case, exchanges) and report responsibly.

Thanks, I'll reach out to the CTO and share the research. We need to sort this out asap!
