‘Dedaub’ hired two of the arrested students and is covering legal fees

Apr 13 2023

In a tweet announcing this, the company said that it independently verified the students acted responsibly before providing support.

The story of four computer science students made the headlines yesterday after Times of Malta published an article about what had happened late last year.

The UOM students are being investigated by the police after they found and highlighted a security weakness in the student application, ‘FreeHour.’

Allegedly, Giorgio Grigolo, Michael Debono, Luke Bjorn Scerri and Luke Collins were scanning through the software of the app when they found a vulnerability they say could be exploited by malicious hackers.

Dedaub, who hired two of the boys and is covering all legal fees, is a leading company in the smart contract security and auditing space, providing solutions to address security problems. The company’s founders and auditors have a strong academic research background combined with real-world hacking experience to secure code.

Dedaub’s expertise in program analysis, reverse engineering, DeFi exploits, and cryptography has attracted prominent customers such as the Ethereum Foundation and Chainlink. Their foundational analysis tools and deep expertise have made them a go-to company for securing code.

The company has performed over 100 audits for leading DeFi protocols and has even white-hat hacked prominent protocols with billions in TVL. They specialise in complex economic attacks and are the first to identify these issues.

Times of Malta reported that the students emailed their findings to FreeHour and asked for a reward for spotting the mistake. The University of Malta students were later arrested, strip-searched and had their computer equipment seized.

Reacting to the news, FreeHour’s Founder and CEO Zach Ciappara posted a video on Instagram addressing what he referred to as “misleading headlines regarding the students under investigation over security vulnerability on the FreeHour App.”

The cultural programme for the traditional feast of St Gregory returns

Apr 13 2023

After an absence of three years, a cultural programme for the traditional feast of St Gregory has been announced.

The events will be organised by the Culture Directorate, which will now be responsible for the cultural aspect of the organisation of the festivities.

The programme, which was announced at a press conference in Żejtun, will focus on the traditional dimension of the feast, which is believed to have been celebrated for the first time in the year 1543.

Traditionally, this feast, apart from its religious aspect, is known for its connection to the first swim that occurs on the first Wednesday after Easter.

“Classified” – The latest feature film shooting in Malta starring Tim Roth and Aaron Eckhart

Apr 13 2023

“Classified” is a 95-minute feature film that has chosen Malta as its home for 100% of its production. This production will generate over €5.3 million into the economy.

The production is employing over 109 crew of which approximately 79% are locals. The film will shoot in Malta for 20 days, and will feature Tim Roth and Aaron Eckhart as main cast.

Malta Film Commissioner Johann Grech remarked how the Malta Film Commission’s plan is working. “This is the 5th international production filming in Malta over a span of 4 months. With more Maltese and Gozitans working in films, it means that our country can attract more productions.” Grech said. His final remarks showed his determination to create more success for the film industry and for Malta at large.

“Having another foreign production filming in Malta is proving to be another encouraging step forward in our efforts to build a local world class filming industry. Our plan remains that of investing more to improve Malta’s competitive edge in the filming world for the months and years to come,” outlined Minister for Tourism Clayton Bartolo.

Executive Producer Gabriel Georgiev said, “It is my first film project in Malta and will definitely not be the last”. He added, “We are already in talks to bring another production to Malta next year. Malta’s proposition is a solid one and the versatile locations, the amazing crew base, together with the cash rebates offered by the Malta Film Commission make it an attractive offering for film productions coming to shoot in Malta.”
