PANews reported on October 14th that, according to The Block, 0xBow, the team behind the crypto privacy project Privacy Pools, is launching new tools to help Tornado Cash users isolate their funds from illicit activity. A 0xBow representative stated that Tornado Cash's proof of association is the first viable mechanism that balances privacy protection with compliance, representing both progress and a practical model for innocent Tornado users. The new protocol utilizes schemes such as zero-knowledge proofs. Users provide a note and withdrawal address, and the system generates a proof that compares it to the deposit list to exclude illicit actors. If the funds are deemed "clean," the address is added to a public registry without revealing personal data. The system has currently blacklisted over 16,000 related addresses. Privacy Pools, launched earlier this year, utilizes the concept of "association set providers" to help whitelisted users deanonymize their ERC-20 tokens without having to inject funds into common protocols like Tornado Cash, which are used by illicit actors.PANews reported on October 14th that, according to The Block, 0xBow, the team behind the crypto privacy project Privacy Pools, is launching new tools to help Tornado Cash users isolate their funds from illicit activity.

Shibarium releases security incident update: Specific bridge operations have been restricted, limiting the attacker's short-term BONE token staking
PANews reported on September 21st that the Shibarium cross-chain bridge, which connects the Layer 2 network Shibarium and Ethereum, was previously attacked by a flash loan, with approximately $2.4 million in ETH and SHIB stolen. Shibarium has now released a security incident update, stating: 1. Specific bridge operations have been restricted to prevent new unauthorized transactions; 2. Upgrade and restrict potential abuse paths (deposits/withdrawals/claims/rewards) and add targeted defensive controls to prevent abuse of delegated staking; 3. Recover and protect the at-risk BONE held by the staking managers. The attacker’s short-term BONE staking will be effectively restricted by intervention and protocol mechanisms. 4. Rotate validator signers and migrate contract control to multi-party hardware custody; continue the broad migration away from legacy keys; 5. Real-time monitoring of attacker traffic; automatic alerts and reporting to partners and exchanges; 6. Hire independent security researchers, incident response firms, and relevant departments.
