The collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX has spurred countless discussions on how to best manage and protect one's digital assets. The misappropriation of billions in customer deposits will force regulatory bodies to act, and online discussions about the importance of digital asset management are increasing. Legacy Suite, an industry leader in digital asset preservation, shares how its solutions can protect users from similar disasters and are purpose-built to protect digital assets like cryptocurrency, NFTs, legal and health directives, and much more.

In early November, a CoinDesk article exposed the balance sheet of FTX's sister company Alameda Research, showing that it held roughly $14.6 billion in FTT — a token issued by FTX. Rumors regarding the comingling of assets and potential solvency issues began to swirl. By the very next week, FTX officially filed for bankruptcy, contradicting previous statements by FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, who assured the press that the firm was "fine."

Since then, formal investigations have begun, conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Securities Commission of the Bahamas, and the Financial Crimes Investigation Branch.

Holding assets within a centralized exchange has significant risks. A common alternative is to utilize non-custodial wallets (warm or cold wallets), as this method is considered the most secure place to store cryptocurrency assets among crypto enthusiasts. This method, however, is also risky, as users cannot reset passwords or call customer support to recover lost secret phrases. Users also can be susceptible to malware, viruses, and social engineering attacks from scammers seeking to drain assets.

For any digital asset holder, the significance of operational security cannot be understated. Using physical notebooks for security keys and limiting password-sharing is essential to security optimization. Asset holders should also leverage multiple wallets and exchanges to avoid storing large quantities of cryptocurrency in one location and to spread their total risk. It's considered a best practice not to store cryptocurrencies on centralized exchanges for long periods, and owners should opt to trade pairs with high liquidity to make cashing out easier.

Legacy Suite supports hardware and cold wallets and now offers a one-click backup "panic" feature called Legacy Lifeline. Legacy Lifeline allows users to pre-authorize asset transfers on their non-custodial wallets and quickly execute smart contracts to avoid instances of digital items being held or frozen on exchanges. With this innovation, users can have peace of mind knowing that their assets are secure, even in a distressing situation such as a hack or security breach.

Cryptocurrency owners can also set pre-approvals via the Legacy Suite Crypto Will feature to retain complete control of their assets that they might have otherwise lost by relying on a hardware wallet's key.

"We recognized that these features are needed now more than ever to promote the true essence of decentralization and help towards its mass adoption," said Gordon Bell, founder and president of Legacy Suite. "Before the introduction of our platform, there has never been a simple click-through user interface to perform such complex tasks on blockchain. We aim to utilize smart contracts to their full potential and enhance digital asset protection capabilities."

Legacy Suite is setting a new mark in the domain of programmable smart contracts by enabling a digital inheritance and recovery solution owned and operated by the assets' owner. While disasters such as the FTX collapse may be impossible to predict, users must be proactive due to the uncertainty and volatility of the cryptocurrency space — especially when the preservation of their digital life can be so simple.

60K Kids and Their Families Fed with $300K donation

With the holiday season being a time of abundance for many, there are still 1 in 7 Colorado children who aren't sure where their next meal will come from, which is why The CE Shop Foundation is proud to be feeding Denver-area children and families in need.

Donations to The CE Shop Foundation go to support Food For Thought Denver, a nonprofit that provides backpacks filled with food for the weekend to children in need at 76 Denver-area schools.

Food For Thought Denver estimates that $5 is enough to feed a family of four for the weekend. 

In the years since The CE Shop Foundation was created by Michael McAllister, Founder and Board Member of The CE Shop, the amount of money it has collected to feed families in need has increased every year. In 2014, it raised $6,856, and in 2022, nearly $400,000. 

"I like to illustrate the impact of our donors' generosity visually. 60,000 kids are the equivalent of 750+ yellow busses full of elementary school kids rolling down the road, and it's because of all those that support our cause that these kids are fed," says McAllister.

The CE Shop chose to support this cause because, as a leading provider of online professional education, its employees believe that school-aged children should be able to focus on learning rather than worrying about where their next meal will come from. The CE Shop Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

The CE Shop Foundation's donations come from The CE Shop's employees, who can choose to give through a payroll deduction; its students, who can donate when purchasing real estate education courses during checkout, and generous members of the local community.

The world is getting digital, and walking with it is the only way to move forward. In light of this, technological breakthroughs have transformed social interactions to ensure there are no communication gaps.

Elevator Flings is one such upcoming seamless mobile application all set to revolutionize online social interactions. As the name suggests, its goal is to seek out people looking for a "fling" to have a chance at socializing. The platform enables them to create their own social event from the comfort of their home and invite others to join. Alternatively, they can also track social events happening within their vicinity.

Unlike any typical social application, Elevator Flings is designed in such a way that it can cater to the needs and wants of users depending on their preference for socialization. The Customizable Profile Setup itself allows for a smooth user experience. 

Powered by a primary goal of enabling offline interactions, Elevator Flings connects people with similar interests who want to hang out or go on a date.

Out of hundreds of dating apps in the mobile app market, targeting a specific subsector in the socialization industry of match-making, this app offers an integrated socializing solution to the user's networking needs. To draw reference, Tinder and Bumble target the dating industry, whereas Elevator Flings is envisioned to introduce hookup culture in an affirmative light to discredit its gloomy connotations. 

Likewise, it offers a platform for exploring the networks you have around; it's high time to know who is in your building.

To that end, Elevator Flings is integrated with robust features that let the users in on what the people around them are up to. To start with, two kinds of Maps are integrated into the app. The first one is the Heat Map, showing where the most activity within one's vicinity is taking place. The map visualizes the events on the home screen and presents them in an interactive manner. Second is the 3D Map, which offers an immersive experience to the app users with appealing graphics.

The app is set to introduce a distinctive Knock feature to ensure no invasion of privacy. With this feature, people interested in joining an event near them will have to "knock" before entering. This means they will have to seek permission from the event creator before getting into action. Isn't it a perfect opportunity to put your Knock-Knock puns to the test? 

Furthermore, the app is powered by the Events and Groups Feature, allowing the users to create a group or an event from a wide range of pre-decided category sections. Whether the user wants to throw a party, meet a bunch of people to hang out with or simply wants to interact with a person to discuss topics of interest, this feature will cater to their needs effectively.

Elevator Flings deems to offer an affordable subscription model for its users. 

Basic (Free)
Silver ($12 per month)
Platinum ($20 per month)

Innovations for this trendsetting app are not halting any soon. Elevator Flings is planning to introduce emerging technologies in its application to change the dynamics of the dating app industry forever. It is only a matter of time before the revolution begins. Make sure you are there to witness it.

About The Creator

The visionary behind Elevator Flings is Nikolaos Travlos, who has decades of experience under his belt as an entrepreneur. Having ventured into different corporate industries over the years, Travlos bred the app idea and is ready to actualize his potential game-changing vision to revolutionize the dating and networking industry.

National Safety Shelters

As the United States hits the alarming milestone of 1,000 incidents of gunfire in schools in the last decade, school officials are looking for better ways to protect children, including in-classroom safety pods from National Safety Shelters.

Despite traditional safety measures like security guards, metal detectors, pat-downs and more, armed assailants are penetrating school security perimeters and gaining access to classrooms, with deadly consequences. Everytown for Gun Safety, a respected group working to reduce gun violence, reports that this year, U.S. schools reached 1,000 shooting incidents since the group began compiling data in 2013. 

Those shootings resulted in 331 deaths and 698 injuries, in addition to creating pervasive anxiety and fear: Only 31% of parents of children in grades K-12 say they feel their kids are safe at school.

Teachers say that schools and classrooms provide little protection in the case of an active shooter.

"It's heartbreaking that teachers themselves describe students and faculty as 'sitting ducks' in the classroom," said Dennis Corrado, founder and president of National Safety Shelters. "Some school leaders are recognizing they need to provide better protection, and as a result, we're seeing a sharp increase in inquiries and purchases of safety pods from school districts across the country."

The Final Report of the Federal Commission on School Safety recommends that schools should "seek to create secure spaces within classrooms where students and teachers can shelter in case of an active shooter." National Safety Shelters' classroom pods offer precisely that - immediate and unbreachable "secure spaces within classrooms," with walls made of quarter-inch American-made NIJ Ballistic Level III steel - a material that can withstand the intensity of semi-automatic weapons.

Some school districts are taking these proactive measures and attracting the attention of safety-minded parents. After the Quitman School District in Quitman, Arkansas, invested in National Safety Shelters pods in all their classrooms, enrollment went up 20%.

Quitman superintendent Dennis Truxler recommends to all administrators and school boards that they "seriously consider adding classroom shelters to their schools" as a safety net against active shooters.

Cyber risk assessment and management firm Maxxsure announced John English's appointment to their Advisory Council to strengthen the focus on the gaming industry due to waves of cyberattacks currently plaguing casino and sportsbook operators globally. English resides and works in Las Vegas. Maxxsure's Cyber risk assessment methodology empowers operators' ability to track and manage cyber vulnerabilities.

Maxxsure has developed the standard "M-Score" for measurement of the industry's cyberattack risks. Maxxsure provides cyber risk quantification and insurance analytics against risks companies could manage by self-insurance or commercial insurance in the event of a cyberattack.

M-Score measures corporate cyber risk health both in real time and continuously with an easy onboarding process that reveal vulnerable areas within any gaming organization. The M-Score platform generates an organization's cyber risk status, and the reporting module provides insight so adjustments to insurance limits can accurately be calculated and adjusted before catastrophic remediation is required. This capability ensures that regulatory reserve limits and guidelines are satisfied and competitively negotiated.

Several casino and sports betting companies, including MGM, Sands, Draft Kings, FanDuel and others, have reported cyberattacks, as well as compromised player data. Maxxsure's method to mitigate this crisis, is an approach to assist casinos and sportsbooks to determine where the risks lie and allow them to take actions to avoid maximum loss situations. 

"We are excited to have John on board with our team of experts; his in-depth knowledge, experience and background in gaming and technology is important as we serve our growing gaming clients, globally. John instantly understood the value of M-Score to the gaming industry and how the risks to the industry could be minimized and managed," said Srik Soogoor, Maxxsure's President and Co-Founder.

Recently Nevada Gaming Control Board recommended that all operators perform risk assessments beginning in January 2023. Regulations are in the process of being adopted, nationally. Maxxsure also joined the International Gaming Standards Association initiative to enhance the cyber awareness and education of regulators and gaming companies globally.

"Performing regular penetration tests or risk assessments just isn't enough to combat this growing problem. Monitoring and managing needs to be done daily, if not hourly. Maxxsure delivers a culture-enabling solution that is a priceless solution for gaming operations. The state of cyberattacks has changed from if to when and cannot be overlooked," stated Soogoor. 

"Today, nobody is safe from cyberattacks. Criminals are sophisticated and are attacking from all angles in foreign and domestic arenas. From IoT thermostats to Alexa-enabled devices, if it's connected, it's a concern. Hacking is highly prevalent; measurement and corporate risk management is paramount and ignoring or neglecting the issue is becoming a personal and professional liability for corporate executives. I am grateful to join the Maxxsure team, and I look forward to serving on the Advisory Council and adding awareness to the gaming industry," stated English.
