I've read that when a contract selfdestructs, it wont have code, so you can't interact with it. How does it work? Why we can't update contract code because the blockchain is inmutabe but we can remove its code? submitted by /u/DomiDeme [link] [comments]

Attackers are exploiting poorly configured cloud accounts to mine crypto, Google warned users in a recent report. Cryptocurrency mining is a computationally intensive activity. And Google Cloud customers can access it at a cost. However, miners are now hacking Google Cloud accounts for mining purposes. In the report titled “Threat Horizons,” Google’s cybersecurity team assessed various threats to Cloud users, providing details of the breaches. Related Reading | Data Shows Crypto Hacks And Fraud In 2021 Are On Track For A New Record The report also provided cybersecurity threat intelligence to cloud users. The aim is to enable them “better configure their environments and defenses in manners most specific to their needs.” Crypto Miners Hacking Google Accounts In the report, the cybersecurity team analyzed 50 recently compromised Google Cloud accounts. And out of those, 86% were related to crypto mining. “Malicious actors were observed performing cryptocurrency mining within compromised Cloud instances,” Google wrote. Related Reading | Ethereum Miner Revenue Outpaces Bitcoin In 2021 The report also stated that in the majority of these incidents, the hackers downloaded crypto mining software to the compromised accounts within 22 seconds. The attacks were scripted, and it would have been impossible to manually stop them. Additionally, in 10% of these incidents, the hackers scanned other publicly available resources on the Internet to identify vulnerable systems. While in 8% of the instances, they attacked other targets. However, as reported by the cybersecurity team, the crypto mining hacks were not the only attacks. “The cloud threat landscape in 2021 was more complex than just rogue cryptocurrency miners, of course,” wrote Bob Mechler, Google Cloud Director of the office of the Chief Information Security Officer, and Seth Rosenblatt, Google Cloud Security Editor, in a blog post. Other Threats To Google Cloud Users Another threat the team identified was a phishing attack by the Russian group called APT28, or Fancy Bear. The attackers targeted 12,000 Gmail accounts in a mass phishing attempt. They attempted to trick users into handing over their login details. Google, however, said it had blocked all the phishing emails, and no user was compromised. The report also pointed out an attack by a North Korean government-backed group. This hacker group posed as Samsung recruiters, sending fake job opportunities to employees at South Korean information security companies. They attached a malicious link to malware stored in Google Drive. Google said it also blocked it. Another threat to cloud users is ransomware attacks, whereby hackers encrypt users’ data until they pay. In the report, Google mentions the formidable Black Matter ransomware group. And although the group announced that it was shutting down earlier this month, Google is still cautious. “Google has received reports that the Black Matter ransomware group has announced it will shut down operations given outside pressure. Until this is confirmed, Black Matter still poses a risk.” Total crypto market at $2.4 Trillion | Source: Crypto Total Market Cap from TradingView.com Google attributes some of these attacks to users’ poor security practices. And also vulnerabilities in third-party software that the users install. The report also recommends a few ways to prevent these attacks. One of which is enabling two-factor authentication.

In 2021, the gaming industry have earned approximately $175 billion. As blockchain technology has become more prevalent in games, gamers are now enjoying the rewards of their efforts, with some earning up to $2,000 USD per hour on crypto games like Axie Infinity. As their popularity grew, so did their token prices. The Sandbox captivated both retail and institutional investors when its coin soared over 800% in a month. Recent studies predict that gaming, particularly the play-to-earn model (P2E), will grow by over 20% by 2022, with blockchain and crypto being the most suited technology and in-game money to support the business. While AXE and SAND are grabbing investor interest, here is a list of top and emerging blockchain gaming projects to keep an eye on! JEDSTAR (JED) After a recent increase of almost 100,000 percent in the previous 90 days, the newest entrant to the blockchain gaming arena is storming through the crypto world and playing with the big players. While $JED is a DeFi token in JEDSTAR DECO (Decentralized Ecosystem), the company will soon introduce its GameFi token $KRED. The company has over 100 games in development that will use $KRED as an in-game currency and has partnered with other gaming developers and studios to provide their cryptocurrency as a service. Not only will this ambitious initiative produce in-house games and an NFT marketplace, but it will also form strategic blockchain and non-blockchain alliances. Decentraland (MANA) This is another Ethereum-based cryptocurrency. Like the game Second Life, players are encouraged to create 3D in-game products to sell. The Decentraland cryptocurrency MANA is used to sell digital LAND, and it may also be used to trade 3D items. The game is up and running and shows the possibilities of crypto gaming. Partnerships with Atari (ATRI) and Decentral Games (DG) might bring an in-world casino to Decentraland. If you desire, you may play the game now! https://decentraland.org/ GALA Games (GALA) Eric Schiermeyer, co-founder of mobile gaming startup Zyn, also the maker of games including Mafia Wars and Farmville, designed GALA, an Ethereum-based coin. The company aims to get users greater control over their tournaments. The platform has 1.3 million active users. Owners of NFTs on the platform may vote on new games and influence gameplay. The GALA token is used to buy NFTs and in-game products. While other games are making, Town Star, a virtual town builder akin to Sim City, is already available. Conclusion: Cryptocurrency gaming is a new rage. Play-to-Earn games will make current games disappear. Since actual ownership is exciting. This is especially true in the gaming sector, where individuals may now earn large sums of money for their efforts and enjoy exciting games.
