According to Foresight News, a security alert has been issued by SlowMist, warning of recent attacks on websites through a vulnerability in WordPress plugins. The attackers reportedly inject malicious JavaScript code into the sites, initiating a watering hole attack. When users visit these compromised sites, they are met with malicious pop-ups, tricking them into executing harmful code or signing Web3 wallets, leading to asset theft. Websites using WordPress plugins are advised to check for any vulnerabilities and update their plugins promptly to avoid attacks. Users are also urged to carefully identify the programs they download and the content of Web3 signatures when visiting any site. This is to prevent downloading malicious programs or authorizing harmful signatures that could result in asset theft.

According to PANews, James Fickel, the founder of Amaranth Foundation, has reportedly invested 10 million USDC to purchase 3042.8 ETH at an average price of $3,286. This transaction occurred 40 minutes prior to the report. In addition to this, Fickel borrowed 20 WBTC from Aave, a decentralized finance protocol. It is anticipated that he will continue to sell the borrowed WBTC in exchange for ETH, thereby increasing his holdings in ETH/BTC. Since the beginning of this year, Fickel has borrowed a total of 2,301 WBTC, equivalent to $145M, from Aave and then sold it to acquire 41,944 ETH. The cost of the ETH/BTC exchange rate was approximately 0.055. Since yesterday, the ETH/BTC exchange rate has rebounded from 0.049 to 0.052. This suggests that Fickel's strategy may be to leverage the fluctuating exchange rate to increase his ETH holdings.

According to U.Today, NEAR Protocol (NEAR) has reported significant community and developer achievements, including a record user retention rate among L1 altcoins over the past year. The blockchain's major adoption metric reached 9.53%, according to data provider Artemis, outperforming all of its competitors. For comparison, Avalanche (AVAX) saw only 8.19% of users returning in 12 months on its C-chain, while BNB Chain's retention rate barely exceeded 7%. Even the largest blockchains by Total Value Locked (TVL), Ethereum (ETH) and Tron (TRX), failed to achieve a 5% user retention rate over the same period. NEAR Protocol currently hosts 19 active decentralized finance applications (DeFis) with a combined TVL of $306 million. The largest DeFis on NEAR by TVL include Burrow, LiNEAR Protocol, and Meta Pool Near, which operate in the areas of decentralized lending and liquid staking. In addition to its community and developer achievements, NEAR Protocol's core native cryptocurrency, NEAR, has been one of the best performers over the past week. According to CoinGecko, NEAR was the top-performing large altcoin and the fifth fastest-growing altcoin overall, with a seven-day growth rate of 26%. This performance was only surpassed by leading meme coins FLOKI, BONK, and PEPE, and the Hedera (HBAR) token, which was boosted by a major announcement. The recent rally in NEAR's price may be linked to potential AI integrations that are key to the use of NEAR Protocol in this burgeoning sector.
