Friends, as we now know countless of Myetherwallet
users began to report suspicious activity on April 24, 2018 when trying to
access the web-based Ethereum interface. As the web’s most popular client-side Ethereum
wallet, MEW is widely used for buying Cryptokitties, sending money to
crowdsales and beyond. BGP (Border
Gateway Protocol) messages to the internet's core routers to convince them to
send traffic destined for some of AWS's servers to a renegade box in the US.
The rogue machine then acted as AWS's DNS service, and gave out the wrong IP
addresses for MyEtherWallet.com, pointing some unsuspecting visitors to the
dot-com at a phishing site that stole their money. Bottom line: Just how vulnerable
are today’s Cryptocurrency wallets to DNS and related cyber attacks? The April 24 event not only sent
shockwaves through the MEW community but also calls into question of the
integrity of the broader Cryptocurrency juggernaut. Send us your

Friends, Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) is the resistance of a fault-tolerant computer system, especially distributed computing systems, towards electronic component failures where there is
imperfect information on whether a component is failed. In a "Byzantine
failure", a component such as a server can inconsistently appear both
functioning and failed to failure-detection systems, presenting different
expressions to different observers. Perhaps nowhere is BFT more
essential than on a Blockchain. Most traditional distributed computing
environments have central configuration databases or authorities that can help
right wrongs in the event that Byzantine failures occur. Blockchain applications, starting
with Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work consensus method, are today proposing solutions to
this challenge. Can BFT and/or dBFT help solve this dilemma? Send us your
comments. Lawrence, Cryptocurrency
