According to PANews, SlowMist's representative, Yu Jian, addressed community concerns regarding the role of SlowMist's statistics in the recovery process for victims of the DEXX incident. Community members had suggested that SlowMist's data was one of the four critical steps for victims to receive compensation.
Yu Jian clarified that the statistics provided by SlowMist are not part of a sequential process with other steps. He explained that most of the losses, which exceeded $21 million at the time of the incident, were disclosed within the first few days. Subsequent reports mainly involved smaller amounts. If there had been significant additional losses, they would have been identified earlier.
Yu Jian emphasized that the process of identifying and verifying attacker addresses is meticulous and time-consuming, involving careful cross-referencing to avoid false reports. He noted that relying solely on SlowMist's final statistics could prolong the recovery process. Therefore, he argued that many tasks should be conducted in parallel rather than sequentially.#SlowMist #DEXXIncident #CommunityConcerns #DataRecovery #VictimCompensation #Statistics #CyberSecurity #FraudPrevention
🚀 Antivirus Software May Misidentify Browser Extensions, Says SlowMist Founder

According to Foresight News, SlowMist founder Yu Jian has highlighted a potential issue with antivirus software misidentifying browser extensions. In a recent tweet, Yu explained that if an antivirus program mistakenly flags a browser extension, such as a wallet extension's JavaScript file, it typically isolates the file. This isolation can render the wallet extension inoperable. Yu advises users to restore the file from quarantine rather than deleting it. He further cautions against uninstalling the wallet extension, as there may still be a chance to recover files related to locally encrypted private keys.#Antivirus #BrowserExtensions #SlowMist #YuJian #CyberSecurity #WalletExtension #Quarantine #DataRecovery #JavaScript
