Hacken Research

What do you think the everyday life of a cybersecurity engineer consists of? Looking into code, auditing smart contracts, monitoring, catching hackers, identifying security holes? But our team of cybersecurity engineers is not just a team of cybersecurity engineers, we are truly experts in our field. Therefore, in addition to the main work, we prepare studies, investigations and research for you. One of our goals is to raise awareness of our audience, after all. So, what knowledge did we share with you last month?
