But Tesla was not the only party that informed BTCPay Server of the bug. Qaiser Abbas, described by the team as an independent web-security researcher, also received thanks for responsible vulnerability disclosure.
Tesla has plunged its resources into Bitcoin in recent months; in February, the company rocked the cryptocurrency world when it announced a $1.5 billion investment into Bitcoin. This month, Tesla also began accepting Bitcoin as payment for its goods and services in the US, with plans to roll it out to other countries later this year. The company plans to hold any Bitcoin it receives, rather than converting it into fiat currency.
Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk has become an outspoken advocate for the cryptocurrency, suggesting last month that investors held a better position if they held Bitcoin instead of cash.
Musk’s words have already had an impact. According to a study by the Blockchain Research lab, when Musk updated his Twitter bio in January 2021 to read simply “Bitcoin,” he caused the price of the cryptocurrency to spike almost 20%.
Energy infrastructure firm SolarBank is planning to add Bitcoin to its balance sheet, following a growing number of public companies that have begun accumulating the world's oldest cryptocurrency, but one analyst is warning that the strategy—first popularized by software firm Strategy— poses risks. In a note to investors on Tuesday, Standard Chartered Global Head of Digital Assets Research Geoffrey Kendrick reported Strategy imitators have doubled their Bitcoin holdings to just under 100,000 Bit...
President Donald Trump and his business partners appear to be launching their own crypto wallet, one linked to his Solana-based meme coin and rolled out in partnership with major NFT marketplace Magic Eden. A site where users can sign up for a waitlist to gain access to the wallet launched Tuesday. A Magic Eden spokesperson confirmed both the legitimacy of the site and the company’s partnership with Trump’s business partners to Decrypt. The site was first spotted by independent journalist Molly...
Coinbase was made aware in January of a customer data breach involving its third-party contractor TaskUs months before publicly disclosing the incident, Reuters reported Monday, citing six sources familiar with the matter. According to five former TaskUs employees, the breach was traced to an India-based TaskUs support agent who had been photographing her work computer screen with a phone. The employee and an alleged accomplice were suspected of selling Coinbase user information to hackers in e...
