Kenyan Police Raided Worldcoin's Warehouse and Seized 'Machines That Store Data'

• "The officers backed by multi-agency officials went to the offices along Mombasa Road armed with a search warrant and broke in Saturday before leaving with machines they believe stores data gathered by the firm."
• "The team took the data to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations headquarters for analysis."

"Data Commissioner Immaculate Kassait defended her office and said Tools for Humanity, the parent company of Worldcoin, failed to disclose its true intentions during registration."

• "The government suspended Worldcoin’s operations in Kenya, citing security concerns."

In other Worldcoin news, security firm CertiK shared an update on a recent vulnerability in the Worldcoin protocol that could potentially allow attackers to become Orb operators without having to pass the verification process.

"Through this security vulnerability, a malicious attacker could bypass the verification and strict participation criteria of the Worldcoin Operator acceptance process. Meaning it would not need to be a company, have proper ID verification, or have a vetting interview," the company said.

• "On May 29, CertiK’s Security Team reported a bug to Worldcoin that could allow an attacker to create an inactive Operator account. The bug did not allow anyone to bypass the manual review for establishing an Operator account and at no point was access to Orbs or data enabled through the bug," a Worldcoin spokesperson told Decrypt.
