Facebook 404’ed Itself, Twitch Hacked, and Compound Bugs
😕 Facebook 404’ed Itself 😟
Facebook and its sister services took themselves off the internet. A misconfiguration resulted in Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram and Oculus all becoming completely inaccessible for 13 hours. It’s generally recommended that you have multiple ways of communicating in case of situations like these. Signal.org and Telegram.org are booth great options. Cloudflare has a technical writeup of what actually happened here.
Surprisingly, this came on the same day that Facebook whistleblower; Frances Haugen’s 60 Minutes interview aired.
👩💻Twitch Hacked 👨💻
Facebook wasn’t the only ones having a bad week….Twitch was also hacked. Payout dates, source code, and internal tools leaked on 4chan. It is not clear what vulnerability lead to this hack yet, but according to the hacker, there is a “Part 2”. Out of an abundance of caution, its probably best to reset your passwords if you use the Twitch service.
🐛 Compound Bugs 🐞
Compound accidentally spits out its reservoir. A bug in Compound made the protocol accidentally spit out huge amounts of tokens. To add to the issue, the fix was delayed because of a timelock, however the patch has been applied and recovery efforts are ongoing.
That’s it for what has been yet another busy week for all of us here at the Launchpool camp.
