Tanzanian Billionaire is Abducted

Mr Mohammed Dewji’s abductors reportedly took under a minute to kidnap him from a Dar es Salaam hotel last week.

The whereabouts of Mr Dewji were still unknown on Monday, five days after he was abducted by unidentified people.

The 43-year-old businessman was abducted at 5am on Thursday, and police said that 26 people had been questioned as part of the investigation into the incident.

According to reports from the hotel, it took between 20 and 30 seconds for the abductors to seize Mr Dewji at the parking lot and bundle him into their vehicle before speeding away.

Eyewitnesses revealed to The Citizen that there were three abductors, but only two disembarked from the vehicle to seize Mr Dewji.

Police said the abductors had two vehicles which were involved in the incident, of which one was parked outside the hotel premises and the other in the parking lot.

“When Mr Dewji’s vehicle arrived at the scene, the occupants of the vehicle which was parked inside switched on its headlights to alert their accomplices who were outside, who then drove inside and parked their car next to Mr Dewji’s. They alighted, grabbed him before bundling him into their car,” police said.

After kidnapping Mr Dewji, the abductors fired in the air before leaving the hotel premises with him using another exit gate, which was earlier shut.

Although earlier reports claimed that the abductors were white males, eyewitnesses said all abductors wore masks and spoke English.

CRIME WAVE

Home Affairs minister Kangi Lugola has said Mr Dewji’s kidnapping is among 75 abductions reported to the police over the last three years.

He also confirmed the arrest of 26 people who were being interrogated in connection with the incident, which has sparked intense media interest both locally and internationally.

Mr Lugola directed police to release all arrested people who will not be directly or indirectly linked with the investigation.

He said Mr Dewji was still missing, but added that security organs were continuing with investigations and people should remain calm and allow the government and its agencies to do their work.

“Our President is committed to protecting Tanzanians and their property. You should not point a finger at us and ask why we have put more effort into Mr Dewji’s abduction than other similar incidents,” he said.

Some of the Tanzanians who have disappeared mysteriously in recent months include Chadema cadre Ben Saanane, Mwananchi Commnunixations Limited journalist Azory Gwanda and Kibondo District Council chairman Simon Kanguye.

POLICE UPDATE

The number of people arrested in connection with the disappearance of Mr Dewji has reached 26, according to Dar es Salaam Special Police Zone Commander Lazaro Mambosasa.

However, he did not name them as investigations were still going on.

Mr Mambosasa confirmed that another six suspects were arrested on Saturday in addition to the 20 suspects who were arrested a day after the incident.

Mr Mambosasa said the arrested people, including Mr Haji Manara, spokesperson of Simba Sports Club, in which Mr Dewji has a 49 per cent stake, were being interrogated as part of investigations.

Police said they were continuing with an intensive search at all entry and exit points, as earlier reports claimed that Mr Dewji was abducted by two white people, whose nationality is still a mystery.

“The investigation is ongoing and we will continue to arrest and interrogate people as we seek to get to the bottom of the matter,” he said.

“We have arrested 26 people until Sunday. Arrests are likely to continue as part of our investigations.”

Colesseum Hotel workers revealed to The Citizen that their supervisors have been arrested by police as part of investigations.

VICTIM SPEAKS OUT

Mr Ramadhani Juma, popularly known as P Square, a beach attendant at Coco Beach in Dar es Salaam, said he was abducted in June this year during Idd ul Fitr celebrations and was freed after one week.

“I was abducted during Idd. It was on Thursday evening when kidnappers came in a vehicle, and took me to an unknown place where I was tortured. I screamed for help but they continued beating me, pointing a gun at me, and accusing me of being a gangster,” he told The Citizen yesterday.

Reported by Elias Msuya, Kelvin Matandiko, Khatimu Naheka and Mnaku Mbani

He said he saw so many people were also abducted and during the time he was released, they were other two who were also released.

via Today Bharat nbsp; The CBI raids come a day after Yes Bank co-founder and promoter Rana Kapoor was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) following 36 hours of interrogation. nbsp; The crowd outside Yes Bank in Ahmedabad on Friday. RBI-appointed administrator Prashant Kumar said on Monday that the moratorium on Yes Bank could be lifted by Saturday, days after the RBI superseded the board of directors of the private sector lender for a period of 30 days ldquo;owing to serious deterioration in the financial positionrdquo; of the bank. The RBI has also capped the deposit withdrawals at Rs 50,000 per depositor. Prashant Kumar said the final approval from the Reserve Bank to the SBI-led resolution plan would result in Yes Bank coming out of the moratorium, PTI reported. He also made it clear that the lifting of the restrictions does not hinge on capital raising plan. Meanwhile, a day after CBI registered an FIR against Yes Bank co-founder and promoter Rana Kapoor under charges of alleged criminal conspiracy and corruption, the investigating agency carried out searches at seven locations in connection with the alleged Yes Bank scam case. CBI sleuths carried out operations at the residence and official premises of Kapoor in Mumbai. Kapoor is alleged to have received kickbacks through a Rs 600-crore loan from a non-banking financial company (NBFC), which is an associate company of Dewan Housing Finance Limited (DHFL), to DoIT Urban Ventures (India) Private Ltd, a company owned by Kapoorrsquo;s family, at a time when Yes Bank had loan exposure of Rs 3,700 crore to DHFL. Rana Kapoor was the MD and CEO of Yes Bank till January 2019. Rana Kapoorrsquo;s wife, three daughters booked by CBIIn its FIR, the CBI has named five companies, seven individuals, including Kapoorrsquo;s wife and three daughters, and unidentified people. Besides Rana Kapoor, the agency has booked his wife Bindu, daughters Roshini, Raakhe and Radha. Kapil Wadhawan, promoter of Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited (DHFL) and Dheeraj Rajesh Kumar Wadhawan, Director of RKW Developers Private Limited, a company linked to DHFL have also been named as accused, PTI reported. Rana Kapoor, Yes Bank Yes Bank founder Rana Kapoor on his way to the Mumbai sessions court on Sunday. Companies DHFL, RKW Developers Private Limited, DoIt Urban Ventures controlled by the Kapoor family, RAB Enterprises (lndia) Private Limited in which Bindu Rana Kapoor was director and Morgan Credits Private Ltd in which Rana Kapoorrsquo;s daughters were directors are also named as accused. Rana Kapoor sent to three-day ED custodyOn Sunday, a Mumbai sessions court granted three-day custody of Kapoor to the ED. He will remain in custody till March 11. His daughter Roshni was also stopped from taking a flight to London as she was required to join the ED probe against her father. Roshni and her sister Radha are the directors of DoIT Urban Ventures (India) Private Ltd, the firm which received kickbacks worth Rs 600 crore from DHFL. Depositors pull out Rs 18,000 crore from Yes BankMeanwhile, Yes Bank depositors pulled out over Rs 18,000 crore between April and September last year with experts not ruling out another 10-20 per cent more withdrawals from October 2019 to February 2020. A Gujarat-based industrial group is believed to have pulled out its funds from the bank a month ago. Tirumala Tirupati Devastanam Friday said it withdrew deposits of Rs 1,300 crore on maturity in October 2019. Vadodara Smart City Development Company, a special purpose vehicle controlled by the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) withdrew Rs 265 crore from the bank a day before the RBI stepped in last week to cap withdrawals last week. Yes Bank stocks jump on SBI investment boostShares of Yes Bank on Monday zoomed over 30 per cent after SBI said it will pick up 49 per cent stake in the troubled private lender. yes bank, Pimpri-Chinchwad municipal body yes bank, pcmc yes bank, yes bank pune crisis, pune city news Worried depositors wait at an Yes Bank branch in Pune on Friday. The scrip witnessed a sharp rise, spiking 29.63 per cent to Rs 21 on the BSE. On the NSE, it jumped 32.20 per cent to Rs 21.35. On the other hand, shares of SBI plunged over 6 per cent. Samp;P Global Ratings said quick resolution of Yes Bankrsquo;s insolvency will keep Indiarsquo;s banking sector contagion at bay, but as credit markets tighten there could be a possibility of wider economic pain in the country. What FM Sitharaman said on Yes Bank crisisFinance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said the RBI had been monitoring Yes Bank since 2017 and noticed governance issues and weak compliance besides wrong asset classification. Sitharaman stated that the RBI advised a change within the Yes Bank management after finding risky credit decision. ldquo;Anil Ambani Group, Essel, DHFL, ILFS, Vodafone are some of the very stressed corporate whom Yes Bank lent,rdquo; she said. The Finance Minister also said that the government has asked the central bank to look into what went wrong at Yes Bank and fix individual responsibilities. What is the Yes Bank crisis?On March 5, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) imposed a moratorium on the bank, capping withdrawals at Rs 50,000 per account, and superseded the board of the private sector lender with immediate effect. The central bank has appointed former deputy managing director and CFO of SBI Prashant Kumar. During this period, the bank will not be able to grant or renew any loan or advance, make any investment, incur any liability or agree to disburse any payment. EXPLAINEDWhy capping withdrawals from Yes Bank is a terrible ideaWhen RBI and Govt step in with the power of the SBIrsquo;s balance sheet behind them, depositors know there is nothing to fear. All depositors are assured. At this juncture, a cap on withdrawals is a big disservice to depositors. To reinforce the sentiment of safety, the RBI needs to do is keep the chests open, and not restrict access to money. Tell depositors that they can withdraw all that they want. This is what the government did when there was a panic in 2008 regarding a large, aggressive private bank. Yes Bank was struggling to get capital infusion and saw a decline in total deposits by six per cent to Rs 2.09 lakh crore. As on March 31, 2019, the deposits of top 20 depositors aggregated to Rs 24,673 crore, representing 10.84 per cent of the total deposit base. RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das has assured Yes Bank customers of ldquo;swiftrdquo; action and a scheme ldquo;very shortlyrdquo;. ldquo;The resolution (to Yes Bank) will be done very swiftly, it will be done very fasthellip; 30 days which we have given is the outer limit. You will see very swift action from RBI,rdquo; Das said. Yes Bank crisis: What you can do if you are a depositor or investor As part of its reconstruction scheme, the SBI on March 7 announced it will pick up a 49 per cent stake in Yes Bank for Rs 2,450 crore and clarified that all the deposits and liabilities of the reconstructed bank will continue in the ldquo;same mannerrdquo;. The RBI has also announced its decision to permanently write down the Additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital raised by Yes Bank. This puts the entire Rs 10,800 crore worth of AT1 at risk, which includes mutual funds and pension funds of depositors. Opposition slams Centre on Yes Bank crisisThe Congress has described the Yes Bank ldquo;fiascordquo; as a part of the ldquo;mismanagement of financial institutionsrdquo; under the BJP-led governmentrsquo;s watch. p chidambaram, Yes Bank, Yes Bank crisis Former Finance Minister P Chidambaram demanded a thorough investigation in the Yes Bank scam.Former Finance Minister P Chidambaram asked why nobody in the RBI or the government detected the spike in Yes Bankrsquo;s loan book by around 35 per cent per year in the last six years, and demanded a thorough investigation. His party colleague Manish Tewari, a member of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance, wrote to the committee chairman, Jayant Sinha, asking him to ldquo;convene an urgent meetingrdquo; of the panel and summon officials from RBI, Department of Financial Services, and Yes Bank to ldquo;explain the collapserdquo;. He said the ldquo;collapse of Yes Bank is not a red herring, but another sign of our collapsing economy.rdquo; This is why PhonePe was downFollowing the Yes Bank fiasco, digital payments were impacted as PhonePe, which depends on the cash-strapped lender for its transactions, could not operate. Yes Bankrsquo;s own net banking facilities have not been operational since March 5 evening. PhonePe, one of the countryrsquo;s largest digital payment platforms, is dependent on Yes Bank to process its transactions.

The Immutability Of Blockchain Is Useless When It Comes To Easy Crypto Thefts And Hacks

New Post has been published on https://cryptnus.com/2018/11/the-immutability-of-blockchain-is-useless-when-it-comes-to-easy-crypto-thefts-and-hacks/

The Immutability Of Blockchain Is Useless When It Comes To Easy Crypto Thefts And Hacks

[Disclosure: I used to have a small amount of Ethereum (Ether), but now I have absolutely zero Ether]

Your eyes are not deceiving you, the disclosure above is usually printed at the end of any article by any Forbes writer when the subject matter is about cryptocurrencies.

In this case, I am confirming that I now have no Ether, but I did have some until my crypto wallet was hacked around six weeks ago.

In the interim period, I know now more than most about the lack of crypto security and how it’s virtually impossible to retrieve funds after they’ve been stolen. It’s an interesting story, it’s just highly annoying that it happened to me.

First things first. Like many others, I was in the latter stages of the crypto wave and only started becoming interested in them a couple of years ago.

Blockchain seemed revolutionary, Ether looked as if it could more than emulate Bitcoin because of Smart Contracts, so why not quietly invest in a future nest egg? I had time on my hands, so this was always a long play… and not a big one.

I learnt quickly, heard that crypto exchanges were hacked regularly, so it would be advisable to store my Ether in a wallet via a public key and a private one. I could upload funds using my public key (open to the world), but only I would know the private key.

So far, so encrypted. Both keys were 40 characters long and I decided to use Myetherwallet to store my Ether; friends in the industry had assured me this was the best one.

As directed, I printed off my private key, kept it securely in my desk (whoops, just gave it away again) and then came up with what I thought was a masterstroke.

Some years ago when I lived in Goa, I met some very interesting people, one of whom was a notorious (and somewhat garrulous) drug dealer.

He told me over a few beers that whenever he wanted to pass on a secret message, he would give his Gmail log-in and password to an associate and that individual could access the appropriate message in Gmail drafts.

Nothing would be sent over the internet, so nobody would know, so it was as safe as proverbial houses. Good enough for a paranoid drug dealer, good enough for me; that’s where I stored my private key.

Moreover, I split the key into ten different sets of four characters and encrypted it my own way. Whenever I accessed the wallet, I would scrunch the characters together, cut-and-paste, access my wallet, then clear my browser history, then rearrange them differently. Clever old me.

Clever, not. This, apparently, was how the hackers found my private key. So if you’re thinking of storing your private key (or talking to fellow drug dealers), then Gmail drafts is a very bad idea. Clearly, I found this out too late; you have no excuses.

Crypto wallets and exchanges are mutually exclusive and do not provide security.Quoteinspector (via Creative Commons Flickr

What happened next was insane and intense. When I next logged in, I quickly discovered that I’d been cleaned out a week earlier. The crypto cupboard was bare.

Like any other burglary, this was an intensely stressful experience, so I activated my network of great people. Black hats, white hats, blockchain aces, crypto genii, high-networks individuals with access to the top, everybody I could think of.

Information came quickly. The Ether had been moved to a new public key address, but had not moved for seven days. This meant it could have been malware that had scraped the private key (but didn’t know how to move it to an exchange) or the thieves were biding their time.

Unfortunately, they bided their time for another six days, but I was told ‘not to worry’. This was blockchain and if the funds were moved to an exchange then I would be alerted, the thieves would be easy to track down.

Then they moved and six days later I was alerted that they were transfering my funds (along with others) to the Binance exchange. That transaction had to be stopped because no blockchain transaction can be reversed. Simple surely, the exchange could just block that transaction.

The next six hours were crazy, it was if the whole world was trying to help me out. Over the course of that evening, the odds of me blocking the transaction veered between 5 per cent to 40, down to 20, up to 70, down to 30 and finally a big, fat zero.

Myetherwallet were sympathetic, but said there was nothing they could do, they did not have the ability to stop movements, even if they were suspicious. I spoke to Myetherwallet CEO Kosala Hemachandra in a panic as the heist continued its less than merry way.

Remember we are an open source wallet that doesn’t hold any user funds, so any compromise of funds like this may be a result of using a lookalike phishing site. We have the highest security measures available in the market so that our users are protected against malicious actors.

Well, that was nice to know, but it didn’t help me much, so I turned to Binance, but was presented with a website request for a ‘ticket number’ and they would get back to me in 72 hours.

Seventy-two hours? I wanted something done within 72 seconds. I was told to expect a reply, which came 24 hours later, and a request for a law enforcement number to whom I had needed to report the crime.

I live in the UK, not North America. Law enforcement means the Police and while I appreciate the work the Police do, I don’t think any Police force in this country would even understand what had happened to me.

This to them would just be another burglary and if they did know enough about crypto, being informed that I had left my private key in my Gmail drafts was as good as leaving a window open in my house. I probably deserved it.

I later caught up with Wei Zhou, Binance CFO at this month’s Blockchain Summit in Malta and he said there had an increase in thefts such as mine over the last couple of months describing it as a ‘last grab’; hackers knew the crypto community was beefing up security.

We work very hard to ensure the safety and security of funds on Binance and Trust Wallet. Our hope is that all users are informed on best practices to ensure the safety of their own storage and accounts. We work closely with law enforcement agencies around the world to help users recover funds, so in case of stolen funds, we encourage users to file reports right away with law enforcement.

It will be interesting to find out just how many times Binance has co-operated to get theirs users’ funds back, but Zhou assured me that Binance wanted this relationship with law enforcement to be more efficient and they’re working on it.

I have seen the price of Ether plummet in the six weeks since I was hacked, so the pain has lessened over this period of time, but while I’ve been an idiot, I’m not exactly clueless in how this all works.

For the average and traditional investor however, the volatility of cryptocurrencies and its current (and brutal) bear market are enough to put most of them off investing in crypto.

Add stories such as mine and the eventual creep of regulation, the crypto world right now seems to be a very dangerous place to play.

On the other hand, I’m still a believer and while I’ve been burnt once, I may yet return. In the interim, the thieves have got away with it and whether this is a ‘last grab’, whether I’m a total loser or whether better security is coming, the warning is clear.

Never, at any time, store your private key anywhere on your computer or your cellphone; you are not safe. Moreover, forget using Gmail drafts for anything else other than drug-dealing… it’s a mug’s game.

Why are cryptocurrencies so hot when it comes to trading ?

Some small history to give this context: The first crypto currency, called Bit-Gold, was created by Nick Szabo; and it was designed and based on an encrypted algorithm that draws its value from the numbers of transactions made on the asset.

That currency was not used or traded enough so it disappeared for a while – until on 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto, a computer programmer’s pseudonym, designed a better algorithm that draws the value from the entire cryptocurrency system collectively, making it an all-around secure asset.

Meaning, to hack the new algorithm, you would need to hack every server that contains the cryptocurrency around the world, which is virtually impossible. This has made Nakamoto’s asset safer than money in the bank- he called it Bitcoin.

Today, there are more than some 1000 different cryptocurrencies and the block chain technology that they are based on is being implemented in almost every bank around the world!

The idea behind cryptocurrencies is to put the power back in the public hands and loosen the banks’ grip on the financial world.

This of course makes the banks less then happy and governments around the world that are aware that they loose the hold on their financial control of their citizens are trying to implement creative ways to stop them.

But, even thou they keep on spreading news to undermine this development the idea spread like wildfire and some of the currencies jumped from few cents to thousands of dollars.

As cryptos are becoming slowly more mainstream the days of making a killing in just a few weeks are pretty well gone, but for those that rode that wave made enormous amounts of money and a ridiculous return of investment.

The moment this took of the cryptocurrency News site, and cryptocurrency exchange providers were popping up as mushrooms.

It seems as if this is the future and it is already here. 

How do we know there is not a Cryptocurrency Bubble and everything will come crashing down ?

As you read before, the bitcoin is celebrating 10 years anniversary soon; and just in the last 10 months alone, more than 680 new cryptocurrencies based on the same technology were created.

Think about this , this is a huge amount of companies, developers applications and possibilities.

Add to that the fact that China is banning all cryptocurrencies from the country to keep control in the banks hands by what the finance world is calling “the purge” before the new Chinese crypto’s birth.

Long story short, now is the time and way to take control back from the banks and make money without anyone putting his hand in your pocket.

via Today Bharat Senior Congress leader and former Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Saturday raised doubts about the State Bank of India's (SBI) decision to help the ailing Yes Bank. Addressing a press conference hours after SBI's announcement, P Chidambaram said he is of the view that SBI is being commanded to rescue Yes Bank. "I don't get a feeling that SBI is a volunteer in the rescue act (for Yes Bank). Just as LIC was not a volunteer in the IDBI Bank's rescue act. These are command performances," P Chidambaram claimed. Calling the Yes Bank crisis a "fiasco", P Chidambaram said it is "only part of the BJP government's mismanagement of country's financial institutions". "The best judge for any financial crisis is the market. Yesterday, the Sensex fell by 884 points. The price of SBI's share fell by Rs 18 and that of Yes Bank fell from Rs 36.8 to about Rs 16," Chidambaram said. On Thursday, the RBI imposed a one month moratorium on capital-starved Yes Bank and capped the monthly withdrawal limit for depositors to Rs 50,000 per account. The RBI and the Finance Ministry have assured Yes Bank depositors that their money is safe, saying the RBI will "protect their interests". On Saturday, India's largest lender, the State Bank of India (SBI), said its board has given an in-principal approval for the bank to buy up to 49 per cent stakes in Yes Bank. Addressing a press conference in Mumbai, SBI Chairperson Rajnish Kumar said the bank would be investing a minimum of Rs 2,400 crore in Yes Bank. Reacting to SBI's announcement, P Chidambaram said, "The resolution plan proposed by SBI for Yes Bank is bizarre when bank's net worth is perhaps zero. It would be better for SBI to take over, on RBI's order, Yes Bank's loan book at Rs1 and to assure depositors that their money will be returned. Simultaneously, SBI should make every effort to recover as much as possible of the outstanding loans of Yes Bank." nbsp;

C’est quoi le cross-country ?

  Je ne sais pas pour vous mais avant de me mettre à la course à pied, je ne connaissais que le style musical…

cowboy jouant de la guitare

kinder country

…et les Kinder. 😋 😋

  Mais en vrai, c’est quoi?

Le cross-country ou cross est une des épreuves de l’athlétisme qui consiste en une course nature. Il s’agit d’une épreuve hivernale dont les distances sont plus ou moins longues, de quatre à douze kilomètres selon les catégories d’âge et le niveau de la compétition.

(source Wikipédia)

Course nature

Tu te dis “chouette, je vais gambader dans les prés, loin des pots d’échappement”, mais les récits des copains laissaient plutôt  entendre ce genre de scène :

cross-country

    Je ne sais pas pour vous mais je garde un assez mauvais souvenir du semi de Paris de l’an dernier.

Je sais pas si vous y étiez, mais courir trempé, ça ne m’a pas réussi.

Malgré ces appréhensions,

Je dis au coach de rajouter mon nom sur la liste des participants, paraît que ça forge et que ça aide à progresser :

“Tu verras tu vas t’envoler sur ta prochaine course sur route”.

( Oui, je cours en club depuis 2 mois maintenant, j’ai mis du temps à me décider, mais finalement j’ai signé à l’Azur Olympique Charenton. Je vous dis pourquoi prochainement  😉 ).

    La météo n’étant pas trop mauvaise ces derniers jours, j’opte pour ce race-pack :

  race pack cross-country

Chaussures : Adidas DistanceStar, avec des pointes de 12mm. Oui, il est préférable de chausser des pointes sur ce genre d’épreuve, car le terrain est souvent glissant.

Short : Adidas

Gants Odlo : cadeau de Mrs Run, elle sait combien je suis frileux. 😅

Débardeur : équipe AO Charenton, certains le trouvent moche, jsais pas pour vous mais moi j’aime bien. 😊

Barre d’énergie : NOMEN’K, des barres de céréales bio pour faire le plein d’énergie, un régale. 😋 😋

Il existe différentes saveurs, moi j’ai une préférence pour le “Bouts d’fraises”, et en plus c’est du “Made in France”. 😋 🇫🇷

Le matin de la course

On se lève tranquillement, la course n’est qu’à 14h45… Ça change.

Pour les clubs du 94, cela se passe au Parc du Tremblay.

Le rendez-vous avec l’équipe est fixé pour 13h45, afin de récupérer le dossard et de s’échauffer ensemble.

Une fois sur place, je cherche donc la tente de l’équipe (chaque club à sa propre tente pour accueillir ses coureurs), on me remet mon dossard, et on part en repérage.

Le circuit

Ce sont 3 boucles à couvrir, pour un peu plus de 8km…. sur un terrain assez vallonné, avec un petit peu de boue, et quelques passages sur bitume.

De retour à la tente, les coureurs les plus expérimentés me conseillent de chausser les pointes de 9mm, je m’exécute.

Dernières accélérations, quelques photos de groupe et on se met en place sur la ligne de départ.

comme vous pouvez le voir, le club est plus que bien représenté. 💪😊✌️

  14h45, le départ est donné

Ça démarre super fort, on m’avait prévenu.

Je tente de rester dans le sillage de membres de l’équipe avec qui je fais mes séances de fractionné. Je commence à connaître ceux qui sont plus ou moins du même niveau que moi.

L’approche du cross n’est vraiment pas la même que la course sur route. Ici, on court pour le classement non pour le chrono, et le terrain plus technique force d’avantage à gérer son effort… presque comme en trail.

championnats départementaux de cross

coureurs du cross du 94

Je gère donc ma course tout du long.

Et ça marche,

J’ai même assez de force pour le sprint final… qui me permet de gagner une place.

sprint final

Je me classe donc 27ème dans ma catégorie, et par la même occasion me retrouve qualifié pour les championnats régionaux de cross en février prochain.

Il y aura cette fois les copains du club Adidas Runners Paris, je sais que Yohan y sera : il s’est qualifié.

Il nous raconte d’ailleurs comment il a vécu ça côté départements 75 et 92 sur son blog “Achievement Unlocked“. 😉

On me souffle dans l’oreillette que le niveau sera beaucoup plus élevé.

Mais même pas peur. 💪😉🤞

Whose Side Is Blockchain On?

New Post has been published on https://cryptnus.com/2018/11/whose-side-is-blockchain-on/

Whose Side Is Blockchain On?

On August 15, Michael Terpin filed a $224 million lawsuit against AT&T. His 69-page complaint claims the telecom giant had failed to protect his phone number—even after escalating his account to a “higher security level” with “special protection”—resulting in a combined $24 million hack of his cryptocurrencies.

This number might dwarf compared to the infamous Mt. Gox hack, where over $460 million was stolen, or the DAO hack ($50 million), or the more recent hacks of Conrail ($37.2 million) and Bithumb ($31 million). But the scary part is the ease with which these hacks are carried out. In fact, instead of breaking into smart contracts or hacking into exchanges and stealing private keys, now kids between 19 and 22 years old can steal millions at an expense of 99 cents, with relatively no effort.

Has blockchain failed to deliver a secure digital currency and has turned into a haven for cybercriminals?

Fundamentals of security

The idea behind bitcoin was to create a peer-to-peer system that allowed two parties that did not now and did not trust each other transact financially without allowing for double-spending or hacking the system. For that, it created an immutable ledger that can only break to a “51% attack”—an attack which requires enormous computing power of malicious nodes to overrun the honest ones. While this system has failed smaller networks, it has been battle-proven with bitcoin, which has not suffered from such blows to date.

But no matter how secure a system we design, it will always have one point of failure: humans.

The Heathrow Airport was fined for £120,000 ($155,000) when an employee lost a USB Drive containing 2.5 GB of sensitive files. No matter how secret those files were kept; without proper training and procedures in place, the system can still fail miserably.

Security is a process, not an end state. And our primary enemy is “convenience.” Even the U.S. President is no exception. That’s why we reuse the same passwords on disparate websites or totally abandon them with two-factor authentication. In fact, the AT&T case had nothing to do with blockchain vulnerabilities; the victims had fallen for SIM swapping.

SIM swapping is a technique used by hackers to trick (or even bribe) a telecom operator to redirect the phone number of the victim to the hacker’s SIM card. The hackers impersonate their target by providing fake IDs and claiming they have lost their phone and need their old number redirected to their “new” SIM card. From there, they can penetrate the target’s email and social media accounts, and extract valuable information about any other account that is insecurely stored there.

For SIM swapping, the hacker only needs to know their target’s phone number, then pull off some social engineering to trick the operator. In an SS7 attack, even social engineering is not necessary, as hackers can use the attack to eavesdrop on SMS messages and steal any PIN codes that are sent to the victim’s phone during a login attempt. The only way to protect yourself against these measures, for now, is not to use cellphones for authentication—or keep one just for logins and never share its number with anyone.

It gets worse

What makes this particularly important for cryptocurrencies is its nature. When hackers steal private data or even healthcare data, they still need to sell those accounts or start exploiting them before they can turn their gains into money—and in some cases, the victims can block those accounts or otherwise minimize the damage. But with crypto’s, they have immediate access to cash.

In some cases, the hackers even ignored the funds they could have accessed in traditional banks. According to REACT Lieutenant John Rose, the attackers “are predominantly interested in targeting cryptocurrencies for the ease with which these funds can be laundered through online exchanges, and because the transactions can’t be reversed.”

Who do you trust?

It is interesting to notice the pattern here: hackers attack central locations for gains and hide in the decentralized network for anonymity. In a way, blockchain is accomplishing exactly what it was supposed to do: removing single points of failure and create a network where anyone can trade freely.

As we hear the calls for regulating blockchain, it is also important to remember the primary reason behind bitcoin’s birth: the failure of large central banks, which caused the depression of 2008.

Eventually, it comes down to who do we trust? The central bodies, which are supposed to be the good guys but have sometimes shown they can turn evil, or the masses where hackers and fraudsters can also blend in?

For blockchain supporters, the answer is clear: we cannot hope that the people in power always do the right thing, but we can give the masses more power to take corrective action. In other words, should we opt for a dictatorship and hope we will get a “good” dictator or do we believe democracy always prevails?

It comes down to how we use technology. Blockchain has answers in itself.

“White hat” blockchain

When the Ghash.io pool got close to controlling 51% of bitcoin mining power in 2014, the community reacted by leaving the pool—so much that the owners had to publicly announce that they “will take all necessary precautions to prevent reaching 51% of all hashing power, in order to maintain stability of the bitcoin network.”

To protect against smart contract hacks, an Israeli cybersecurity startup called Safeblocks has created a decentralized web firewall that protects smart contracts from unauthorized transactions and malicious attacks in real time. The platform task is to monitor the smart contracts and examine the transaction requests as they come, approving or disapproving them based on the security exceptions the users have set. This way, users can put a limit on the number of transactions per day, capping withdrawals amount of even setting a designated address for withdrawal.

The fundamental idea is that instead of relying on code audits, we have to measure the system in real-time and take action accordingly. This view is much closer to the “security is a process” principle. Only this time, blockchain is a part of this process.

Assessing the breaches mentioned previously, it is clear that blockchain could not have prevented the SIM swapping or SS7 attacks—but it does present a system which is immune to surveillance: dark routing. This technique, as implemented by Mainframe, enables full data privacy, surveillance resistance and censorship resistance. It works by only partially disclosing the target destination, making the message go out to a number of nodes such that the target recipient cannot be singled out. However, only the target recipient can actually decrypt the message.

Substratum has used this technique to penetrate China’s Great Firewall. The platform splits transmitted data into several parts and forwards them via nodes, using artificial intelligence to find the fastest routes. Combined with encryption, this creates a secure and uncensorable connection without using VPNs or Tor.

Putting this system on the blockchain actually plays a crucial role. Eventually, VPN hosts are limited and costly. Tor is free of charge but the only incentive for anyone to use it would be anonymity. Blockchain, on the other hand, flips the entire equation. Here, the nodes can actually earn income by sharing their network. For instance, Substratum implements a model where you pay for content based on “clicks.” This decentralized version of the web empowers the nodes instead of the centralized players and has the potential to bring net neutrality back.

Hackers circumvent these techniques, or even worse, use them in their own favor? Of course. Just as they can do with many other systems—even centralized ones. The most important takeaway is that security is a process. Blockchain is not good or evil. It can be used for both. But it is a step in the right direction.
