The influence of Chinese money laundering networks has skyrocketed since 2020, with the operations now moving almost 20% of all illicit cryptocurrency being laundered last year, according to Chainalysis researchers. In 2025, they processed more than $16 billion, or about $44 million a day.

Exposure monitoring has become a core function for security and risk teams but many programs still struggle to deliver clear, actionable outcomes. Alerts pile up, dashboards expand, and yet teams are often left with the same unanswered question: Which exposures actually matter right now? The difference between noise and signal in exposure monitoring often comes …

VeriBin: Adaptive Verification of Patches at the Binary Level
Vendors are often provided with updated versions of a piece of software, fixing known security issues. However, the inability to have any guarantee that the provided patched software does not break the functionality of its original version often hinders patch deployment. This issue is particularly severe when the patched software is only provided in its compiled binary form. In this case, manual analysis of the patch's source code is impossible, and existing automated patch analysis techniques, which rely on source code, are not applicable. Even when the source code is accessible, the necessity of binary-level patch verification is still crucial, as highlighted by the recent XZ Utils backdoor. To tackle this issue, we propose VeriBin, a system able to compare a binary with its patched version and determine whether the patch is ''Safe to Apply'', meaning it does not introduce any modification that could potentially break the functionality of the original binary. To achieve this goal, VeriBin checks functional equivalence between the original and patched binaries. In particular, VeriBin first uses symbolic execution to systematically identify patch-introduced modifications. Then, it checks if the detected patch-introduced modifications respect specific properties that guarantee they will not break the original binary's functionality. To work without source code, VeriBin's design solves several challenges related to the absence of semantic information (removed during the compilation process) about the analyzed code and the complexity of symbolically executing large functions precisely. Our evaluation of VeriBin on a dataset of 86 samples shows that it achieves an accuracy of 93.0% with no false positives, requiring only minimal analyst input. Additionally, we showcase how VeriBin can be used to detect the recently discovered XZ Utils backdoor.
ABOUT NDSS
The Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS) fosters information exchange among researchers and practitioners of network and distributed system security. The target audience includes those interested in practical aspects of network and distributed system security, with a focus on actual system design and implementation. A major goal is to encourage and enable the Internet community to apply, deploy, and advance the state of available security technologies.

Threat Intelligence is the process of collecting, analyzing, and contextualizing data about existing and emerging cyber threats to produce actionable insights that help organizations prevent, detect, and respond to cyberattacks. Rather than relying on raw alerts or isolated indicators, threat intelligence provides who is attacking, how they operate, what they are targeting, and why it
