🚨 UPDATE: Full Post-Mortem On Cursor Security Incident

In yesterday’s thread I explained how I got drained after installing a malicious extension in @cursor_ai.

This is the deeper dive into what I found, what I did, and how you can avoid it.

🧵 👇 1/ This isn't just about Cursor and it’s not a PSA about vibe coding. This is about IDE extensions and it affects everyone who uses one. Also, think it won’t affect you because you use Vim/Neovim plugins? You’re wrong. They can also call ext servers to execute arbitrary code.

I've been in crypto for over 10 years and I’ve Never been hacked. Perfect OpSec record.

Yesterday, my wallet was drained by a malicious @cursor_ai extension for the first time.

If it can happen to me, it can happen to you. Here’s a full breakdown. 🧵👇 1/ Background: I'm obsessive about security. Hardware wallets, segregated hot wallets, unique passwords, 2FA everything.

In 10+ years, I have never lost a single wei to hackers.

Then I rushed to ship a contract last week.
