It doesn't have to be the same pdf, it could have been an attachments from compromised machine via email/slack. "Hey, can you help me figure this unusual log/transaction summary". How many wouldn't open such an attachment from a "colleague"?
- emmelaich 4y agoYep, internal security is brittle. The initial pdf vector would be only the start of a long sequence of hacks, including social engineering. e.g. sending email from managers -- or slack messages as you mention.
- DelightOne 4y agoHow do you defend against getting email from internal people, especially from people you expect email from?
- mavhc 4y agoDon't keep your security keys capable of root access on anything that's not a hardware token locked in a safe. Of course if you can access the software running the blockchain and get everyone to install an update, that works too
