Incident Response & Security Intelligence

Rapid Security Incident Response

OtterSec provides immediate security support when protocols face active attacks, suspicious activity, or critical vulnerabilities requiring urgent attention. The incident response process includes immediate threat assessment and triage, emergency security analysis of affected smart contracts, exploit mitigation recommendations, coordination with protocol teams and affected parties, on-chain forensics and transaction analysis, and comprehensive post-incident reporting with root cause analysis.

Incident Response Coverage

Services are available for protocols experiencing active exploits, suspected vulnerabilities discovered in production, unusual on-chain activity requiring investigation, post-mortem analysis following security incidents, and emergency smart contract security assessments.

Security Research and Threat Intelligence

The team publishes research findings and educational content on discovered vulnerabilities, contributing to broader ecosystem security awareness. Recent publications include analysis of ERC-4337 paymaster vulnerabilities, OAuth misconfigurations in exchanges and wallets, and supply chain attack vectors in Web3 development dependencies.

Web3 Attack Surface Analysis

OtterSec has conducted extensive research into vulnerabilities present in blockchain applications that stem from Web2 infrastructure components, including API security, authentication mechanisms, server-side vulnerabilities, and client-side attack vectors. This includes deep analysis of wallet security (MetaMask Snaps sandboxing), exchange infrastructure vulnerabilities, and NPM package supply chain risks.

Rapid Response Capabilities

OtterSec's experience auditing major protocols and deep understanding of on-chain security enables rapid identification of attack vectors and effective mitigation strategies. The team can quickly analyze exploit transactions, assess scope of impact, and provide actionable guidance to minimize losses and prevent further exploitation during high-stakes security events.
