We found cryptography bugs in the elliptic library using Wycheproof

Trail of Bits discovered and disclosed two vulnerabilities in the widely used elliptic JavaScript library that could allow signature forgery or prevent valid signature verification, with one vulnerability still unfixed after the 90-day disclosure window.

Moving Beyond the NPM elliptic Package

If you're in a hurry, head on over to soatok/elliptic-to-noble and follow the instructions in the README in order to remove the elliptic package from your project and all dependencies in node_modules. Art: CMYKat Why replace the elliptic package? Yesterday, the Trail of Bits blog published a post about finding cryptographic bugs in the elliptic library (a Javascript package on NPM) by using the Wycheproof.

i feel like there must be some linguistic reason these Chinese organized crime crypto money laundering companies always use the word "guarantee" in their names.

Also worth noting that Jacob Silverman and James Block (Dirty Bubble Media) were reporting on some of these Colorado based crypto scam companies a year and a half ago: https://www.thenation.com/article/economy/rocky-mountain-lie/

Xinbi: The $8 Billion Colorado-Incorporated Marketplace for Pig-Butchering Scammers and North Korean Hackers

Xinbi Guarantee is a Chinese-language, Telegram-based marketplace for cyber fraudsters in Southeast Asia, dealing primarily in the USDT stablecoin. With $8.4 billion in transactions since 2022, it offers tools and services for scams, including money laundering, fake IDs, and stolen data. The platform is linked to North Korean hackers and operates through a Colorado-incorporated entity.

Today's light reading: https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/1325.pdf

Remarkably comprehensive survey of the subject matter (binary elliptic curves) and very clever construction. Useful in specific cases where differential addition isn't available. (And, having read the whole paper, useful when it is!)
