The WLFI project has created a “blacklist” to prevent hacking
DeFi- Trump-linked project World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has blocked hacking attempts related to the launch of its tokens by blacklisting compromised wallets.
On Monday, September 1, World Liberty Financial unlocked 24,6 billion WLFI, opening trading for the first time. Since then, hackers and scammers have been trying to profit from the event by targeting users and the project.
Already on Wednesday, WLFI representatives reported that a special wallet had performed “mass blacklisting” transactions to block accounts that had been compromised before the project’s launch. The development team said that the hacking attempts involved leaking personal data of end users, such as the loss of private keys.
The blacklisting prevented attempts to hack the Lockbox, the mechanism for distributing locked tokens among users.
This allowed us to block attempts to steal from Lockbox, WLFI wrote, citing two transactions on Etherscan as an example demonstrating the operation of the “blacklist”.
The World Liberty Financial team added that they are working with users whose accounts were hacked to help them regain access to their accounts.
