About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

AllianceBlock Issues Statement in Response to BonqDAO Hack

--News Direct--

AllianceBlock has issued the following statement in response to an exploit of the decentralized lending protocol BonqDAO.

At around 18:30 CET on 2 February 2023, lending protocol BonqDAO Protocol was exploited, with the attacker gaining access to ALBT Troves, where AllianceBlock’s native token was used as collateral. Around 113M ALBT tokens were illegally accessed before the hacker attempted to sell these on various exchanges.

As soon as the incident was reported, AllianceBlock communicated an announcement and conducted a preliminary investigation. The cause of the exploit was found to be a bug in the implementation of a price oracle used for the ALBT token in the BonqDAO Protocol. As a third-party protocol, AllianceBlock had no input or control over the design, implementation, and execution of the BonqDAO Protocol and smart contracts, as confirmed by BonqDAO in their statement.

It must be emphasized that none of AllianceBlock’s smart contracts and platforms were breached in the incident, and none of its other solutions have been affected. An AllianceBlock response team was promptly assembled to minimize the effects of the incident and mitigate the damage from the illegally-obtained ALBT tokens. Robust measures implemented have included:

  • Advising the AllianceBlock community to cease trading ALBT tokens.

  • Pausing all activity on the AllianceBlock Bridge to prevent accessing liquidity on other networks.

  • Withdrawing liquidity on exchanges and pools and requesting exchanges to halt trading.

  • Discussing with third parties for identification and recovery of the stolen assets.

A solution being developed includes minting a new ALBT token and airdropping (referred to as “Token Distribution” going forward) it to wallet addresses with legacy ALBT balances. A snapshot of the blockchain and exchange balances will be used to determine the recipients, regardless if they have tokens stored in hardware, software or exchange wallets and staking contracts. The new token will replace the legacy token and will not increase the current supply. More information about the snapshot and token distribution mechanism will be announced shortly.

Matthijs de Vries, Founder and CTO at AllianceBlock, commented, “Users who created troves on Bonq using ALBT as collateral will be reimbursed, and no ALBT goes back to Bonq Troves. AllianceBlock is committed to doing right by ALBT token holders, liquidity providers, and others. We are continuously working on how to approach the distribution of the new token best. We have the community’s interest at heart, and we will share more information once we have a comprehensive proposal.”

He added, “The actual damage in numbers involving ALBT from the Bonq hack is closer to $1.6M than the amounts previously reported by the media.”

Going forward, allocation of ALBT balances in third-party protocols aside from battle-tested and industry-vetted ones (like DEXes and multi-signature contracts) will be subject to discussion and approval of the AllianceBlock DAO and only in small amounts.

AllianceBlock is committed to doing the best by its token holders, liquidity providers and traders. For the compensation scheme, the team will consider edge cases while ensuring the continuity of the AllianceBlock ecosystem.
