Solana hoses down ‘inaccurate’ CertiK report on Saga phone security flaws

A recent video from blockchain security firm CertiK made a series of “inaccurate” claims about a potential security vulnerability in Solana’s crypto-enabled Saga phone, Solana Labs has said. 

In a Nov. 15 post on X (formerly Twitter), CertiK claimed the Saga phone contained a “critical vulnerability” known as a “bootloader unlock” attack which would supposedly allow a malicious actor to install a hidden backdoor in the phone.

In a report sent to Cointelegraph, CertiK claimed the bootloader unlock would “allow an attacker with physical access to a phone to load custom firmware containing a root backdoor.”

“We demonstrate that this can compromise the most sensitive data stored on the phone, including cryptocurrency private keys,” CertiK’s report said.

However, a Solana Labs spokesperson told Cointelegraph that CertiK’s claims are inaccurate, and its video did not reveal any legitimate threat to the Saga device.

New York finance regulator tightens crypto listing guidance

Guidelines for firms listing and delisting cryptocurrencies in New York have tightened up to better protect investors, according to the state’s financial regulator.

The New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) unveiled new restrictions on Nov. 15 which mandate crypto companies submit their coin listing and delisting policies for NYDFS approval.

Company policies will be measured against more stringent risk assessment standards set forth by the NYDFS to protect investors. Technological, operational, cybersecurity, market, liquidity and illicit activity risks of the tokens are among the factors to be considered by the NYDFS.

The incoming changes apply to all digital currency business entities licensed under the New York Codes, Rules and Regulation or limited purpose trust companies under the state’s Banking Law. The NYDFS initially called for public feedback on the proposal in September.

Cryptocurrency firms with a previously approved coin listing policy are not permitted to self-certify any tokens until they submit to and receive approval from the NYDFS.
