💻 CORK HACKER ENTERS THE CHAT Cork Protocol hacker who stole $12M last month crashed the crypto security debate with on-chain messages. Their target? Audit firms fighting over who missed what. First message: “Sherlock missed it” before moving $11.6M $ETH to a new address. 🧵

🧩 VULNERABILITY CORRECTION Cork’s post-mortem blamed “an access control vulnerability in the Cork Hook,” but the hacker contradicted this: “uniswap hook is not problem.” They suggested the bug existed in earlier code versions that ALL auditors reviewed.

🧐 MAIN CRITICISM? Security firms rushing to publish analyses for attention after hacks. They slammed companies like @dedaub, @threesigmaxyz, @HalbornSecurity, @BlockSecTeam for “writing nonsense about bugs to promote their brands and profit from the efforts of others.”

Detailed technical knowledge & industry grudges suggest the hacker might be from within the security community. Researchers think “we all know him.” Not unprecedented - Nick L. Franklin was previously linked to the $50M Radiant Capital hack. More ⤵️
