• 00:20, 21 January 2023 Azoundria talk contribs created page Mercado Bitcoin (Created page with "{{Imported Case Study|source=https://www.quadrigainitiative.com/casestudy/mercadobitcoin.php}} I could go into more detail of allegations; however let’s just say the Mercado Bitcoin exchange was long suspected to not be fully backed to begin with, and was of course not stored properly with any sort of multi-signature cold storage wallet. This exchange or platform is based in Germany, or the incident targeted people primarily in Germany. == About Mercado == “Leandr...")
• 00:20, 21 January 2023 Azoundria talk contribs created page Bit LC Theft (Created page with "{{Imported Case Study|source=https://www.quadrigainitiative.com/casestudy/bitlctheft.php}} Cold storage needs to be a proper multi-signature wallet with all keys stored completely offline. One person should not hold all the keys, especially an unknown person. There needs to be training in place to ensure that all operators are fully aware of best practices. This exchange or platform is based in Panama, or the incident targeted people primarily in Panama. == About Bit...")

With an anonymous exchange operator, once the hacks occurred, neither hack was revealed until far later. The exchange even lied about where they were based in an effort to prevent a lawsuit from occurring. This exchange or platform is based in Germany, or the incident targ...")
• 00:19, 21 January 2023 Azoundria talk contribs created page BitMarket.eu Custodian Failure (Created page with "{{Imported Case Study|source=https://www.quadrigainitiative.com/casestudy/bitmarketeucustodianfailure.php}} One of the great concerns is these kinds of cascading failures, where one firm stores funds with another. This is precisely why a complex regulatory framework forcing a custodian model can increase risks of one failure cascading to another. Transparency about where funds are stored can alert traders to any potential risks. When this information is buried inside a...")
• 00:18, 21 January 2023 Azoundria talk contribs created page Bitfloor Exchange Hack (Created page with "{{Imported Case Study|source=https://www.quadrigainitiative.com/casestudy/bitfloorexchangehack.php}} It’s reported that "the attacker gained accesses to an unencrypted backup of the wallet keys (the actual keys live in an encrypted area)." It’s unclear from the forum discussion if a proper wallet structure was used, however it was definitely not multi-sig, and obviously none of it was insured. None of the customers were able to retrieve any of their funds in the end...")

The rest of the team ha incredibly weak or no insight into security. This exchange or platform is based in Italy, or the incident targeted people primarily in Italy. == About Kronos == "Kronos.io, a Bitcoinica-esque startup, was hacked in a...")

The official stories about what happened do not appear to hold together. There was nobody held to account in the end. Simple public registration of exchanges would prevent this.
