The crypto industry proved to be a breeding ground for scams, exploits, and hacks in 2022.
Less than two weeks into the new year, malicious entities have already started doing what they do best.by the blockchain security company CertiK, two recently created contracts – CirculateBUSD and CirculateWBNB – have been pumped away by the creators.
The funds have been bridged to Ethereum and deposited into the OFAC-sanctioned coin mixer, Tornado Cash. By doing so, the creators of the two contracts managed to pull off what looks like an exit scam by draining $2.5 million. CertiK“This incident is made possible due to a backdoor in the `Start Trading` function. Function calls a malicious unverified contract SwapHelper with signature 0x6343756. CirculateBUSD deployer is set into SwapHelper who receives the funds.
In fact, the illicit transaction volume of crypto-assets hit a record level of $20 billion, according to Chainalysis ‘Crypto Crime Report.’ The firm also found that transactions related to sanctioned entities amplified by over 100,000-fold in 2022, accounting for 44% of the previous year’s illicit activity.out that pulling the plug on a decentralized protocol such as Tornado Cash isn’t very easy, which explains why the coin mixer’s activity hasn’t completely stopped post-OFAC sanctions.

Another Year of Record Heat for the Oceans - Advances in Atmospheric SciencesChanges in ocean heat content (OHC), salinity, and stratification provide critical indicators for changes in Earth’s energy and water cycles. These cycles have been profoundly altered due to the emission of greenhouse gasses and other anthropogenic substances by human activities, driving pervasive changes in Earth’s climate system. In 2022, the world’s oceans, as given by OHC, were again the hottest in the historical record and exceeded the previous 2021 record maximum. According to IAP/CAS data, the 0–2000 m OHC in 2022 exceeded that of 2021 by 10.9 ± 8.3 ZJ (1 Zetta Joules=1021 Joules); and according to NCEI/NOAA data, by 9.1 ± 8.7 ZJ. Among seven regions, four basins (the North Pacific, North Atlantic, the Mediterranean Sea, and southern oceans) recorded their highest OHC since the 1950s. The salinity-contrast index, a quantification of the “salty gets saltier—fresh gets fresher” pattern, also reached its highest level on record in 2022, implying continued amplification of the global hydrological cycle. Regional OHC and salinity changes in 2022 were dominated by a strong La Niña event. Global upper-ocean stratification continued its increasing trend and was among the top seven in 2022.
