Chasing the DAO Attacker’s Wake – A second exploit
Nearly a year ago I made the comment --<p>"Who are these people[1] and what credentials do they have to build and run a cryptocurrency platform?"
[1] <a href="https://angel.co/ethereum-1" rel="nofollow">https://angel.co/ethereum-1</a><p>Today, not a single cryptographer, mathematician, or anyone with software security experience is listed on the Ethereum Foundation member list[2]. I am not attacking any individuals by themselves, but as a group this says a lot.<p>For the record, what I see listed online today is a: consultant, magazine founder, a programmer, and a lawyer. On the advisory board a sales person, a psychologist, a leveraged debt consultant. On the "special advisors" list, which I have no idea what this means, maybe someone who answered a phone call a few times, one person with a bunch of business credentials, something "fintech" related with little explanation, and a tech CEO.<p>Maybe the Ethereum Foundation doesn't need anyone with deep experience in cryptography and security?<p>[2] <a href="https://www.ethereum.org/foundation" rel="nofollow">https://www.ethereum.org/foundation</a>
