White hat hackers, active since 2017, have been focusing on blockchain and crypto security threats, including fake deposits across Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum, and other networks. Their research spans various platforms like L2, Solana, and TON, addressing phishing and hacking incidents. These hackers emphasize the need for a comprehensive defense strategy, often requiring insights from a black hat perspective. The ecosystem is seen as a hierarchy, with black hat hackers at the top, followed by scammers and project teams, while compliance-focused roles, including security companies, form the base, contributing to the ecosystem's infrastructure.
