EU bans anonymous crypto payments to hosted wallets

In a recent regulatory development, the European Union (EU) has voted to ban cryptocurrency payments to "hosted wallets" using unidentified self-custody crypto wallets.

Not sure how credible this is.


Great thread write up here.

I can't believe so many people are sleeping on this research: https://t.co/TZcJ8p52vP

Code White again smashes it out of the park with their meticulous knowledge of software stacks. I have so much respect for them publishing this.

Nice work, @mwulftange!

I was shocked to read the story of a man being unable to get car insurance because GM sold the driving history from his 2021 Cadillac to data brokers used by insurance companies.

It looks like this has become a PR disaster for GM and they’re stopping the practice. pic.twitter.com/KSFOmk9gPl

TIL if you overwrite a bash script while it's running, it just continues by running the new file at the same byte position.

— Jules Jacobs (@JulesJacobs5) March 24, 2024

Yep looping is implemented with seek 😱

— Joseph Garvin (@joseph_h_garvin) March 24, 2024

Seems bash does load some part of the script into memory and it has a limit, so if u change the script which is not yet loaded into memory the new code will b executed
Anyway its an interesting find https://t.co/Y1buO3yvzS

Solution to prevent this

#!/bin/bash

{
   # code goes here. 

   exit # critical, stops bash reading rest of file
}

Can you think of a reason for choosing such an oddly specific number? pic.twitter.com/V3ZfwnTbcV
