Even the richest man in the universe has a day when he deletes a post
Musk originally posted, “Vote red today!”—urging everyone to vote for the red team, meaning the Republicans on Trump’s side
But after the votes were counted, the Democrats won big
The next morning, he went and deleted the post, which had gotten 12 million views
Musk spent about $470 million backing the Republicans this time, and all he got in return was a deleted post
Even funnier, last month Trump asked everyone to rename AI “SI” (superintelligence), and Musk immediately replied, “Yes, we will make that change.” He was going to rename SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI
The company had already changed its name from xAI to SpaceXAI this year
If it really changes to SpaceXSI, that’ll be its third name in a year
He can change the name to SI, and delete the post
But that $470 million? He’s not getting it back
Good thing he’s the richest man in the universe—he’ll never run out of money
Wonder if Zuck is secretly laughing behind his back? 🦎
The terrifying details of the $6.3 billion Binance heist have been revealed!
Who would have thought North Korean hackers would carefully stage a job interview just to breach the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange?!
Binance has just released its preliminary investigation report, revealing how the hackers infiltrated the company behind this staggering heist.
The operation was being planned at least a month in advance.
This September, a Binance software engineer posted a résumé on a job platform. It wasn’t long before someone claiming to be a project director reached out and invited him to an interview.
For the first round, they arranged a video call with a real person posing as an HR representative. They even offered their social media accounts, filled with personal photos and videos.
The second round was even more convincing: the company’s CEO showed up in person!
But here’s the thing: the company was completely fake from start to finish 🥲
As the interview was wrapping up, they asked the engineer to download a coding assignment as a technical skills test.
The Binance engineer did as asked and ran it right on his work computer.
He had no idea that this was exactly what the hackers had been waiting for.
Malware secretly replaced the legitimate development tool pyenv on his computer, connected to external servers, executed commands, and erased traces of the intrusion.
Even the endpoint security software running at the time failed to detect anything unusual.
By October 20, the hackers were using the compromised computer and internal AI tools to break into other engineers’ devices and steal deployment credentials.
On October 29, the attack began in earnest.
In just a few hours, assets including BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP were transferred out one after another, with the total amount reaching a staggering $63.4 billion!
Even worse, after Binance suspended withdrawals, some malicious on-chain approvals remained active, allowing the hackers to keep moving assets.
The FBI believes North Korean hackers were behind the attack.
After reading this report, it’s hard not to feel scared.
Exchanges pour huge sums into building security systems.
Yet hackers can start with a résumé, a video interview, and a coding assignment, then work their way into the core wallet system step by step.
So if you get a high-paying job offer in the future—especially one that asks you to download code or install software during an interview—be extra cautious.
Because while you think you’re interviewing for a new job, the person on the other end might be figuring out how to break into your computer 🥺
Just when the market hasn’t finished putting us through the wringer, news of yet another crypto theft keeps coming 😭
Brazilian crypto exchange Mercado Bitcoin has suffered a security incident and suspended deposits and withdrawals.
More than $40 million has reportedly been drained so far.
Another theft involving more than $106 million appears to be a little different.
On-chain investigators discovered that an EU institution’s accounts at several centralized exchanges may have been hacked.
So far, neither the affected institution nor the exchanges involved have been publicly identified. The whole thing remains shrouded in mystery.
It’s really unsettling to see news like this!
We spend every day watching prices rise and fall and planning our entries and exits, but in the end, what we worry about most is whether the money in our accounts is safe and sound.
The victims of the Florida plane crash have been identified
They include a family of four—a tech tycoon and his two young children
55-year-old Jeff Gregory, from Pennsylvania, was an experienced flight instructor and captain with more than 20 years of flying experience
During an extreme emergency, the most experienced person—the captain (PIC)—would take the controls himself in an attempt to save the aircraft
While the captain focuses on flying the aircraft, the first officer takes full responsibility for radio communications with air traffic control and monitoring the data
That is why, in the flight recordings, it was first officer Nathalia who reported the severe weather to air traffic control, requested a climb to a higher altitude, and finally shouted “Mayday”
Crew: Nathalia Filgueiras, 20 (first officer) Jeff Gregory, 55 (captain)
Passengers: Adam Robinson, 45 Helen Sharp, 40 Emma Robinson, 4 Charlie Robinson, 2 Rachael Reed Charmi Fehr Anita Maria Apellido Cetina
They were flying from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas when problems including airframe icing and turbulence caused the plane to enter a catastrophic descent
Investigators are currently examining whether the jet may have begun breaking apart before it hit the ground
Natalia, 20, was a talented pilot who grew up in Palm Beach, Florida
At 17, before she had even gotten her driver's license, she earned her private pilot's license
Passionate about the skies, she had just qualified as captain of a Learjet 60 private jet this March, taking another step toward her dream of becoming an airline captain
But yesterday, the flight on which she was serving as co-pilot, en route from Austin to the Bahamas, encountered severe icing, turbulence, and heavy rain
The aircraft then entered a catastrophic, steep dive at a rate of more than 20,000 feet per minute
It ultimately crashed in a residential area of Palm Beach County, the place she knew best. All nine people on board were killed
Binance was hacked—so how did it turn into a “spy romance drama”?
A story is circulating in the community:
A Binance DevOps engineer fell in love with a North Korean spy, leading to their work laptop being compromised and the exchange losing $6.3 billion in assets.
It has characters and a plot.
Even on-chain investigator ZachXBT was dragged into it as the supposed source.
But Binance co-founder He Yi has already denied the rumor, saying ZachXBT never said anything like that.
The more sensational the story you hear, the more you should ask: where’s the evidence?
I had dinner with an American friend over the weekend. He’s about to start working in cybersecurity for a government agency.
He said that while many people are still using AI to generate piles of garbage, hackers are also studying how to use it to make their attacks more efficient.
If governments don’t take this seriously, our defenses could fall behind.
One morning, you might find that
the money is still in your bank account, but you can’t transfer a single cent;
you’ve bought your plane ticket, but the airport can’t check you in;
your phone has a signal, but the online services you rely on keep going down.
Think about it: what if all these problems happened at once? What would you do?
Hackers have already offered experts enormous sums to train models on vast amounts of attack data.
Once attack know-how can be replicated at scale, the cost of launching attacks could fall—and more people will suffer.
And it’s not just the money in exchanges.
Airlines, banks, and online services could all be affected.
In the future, hackers may not even need to steal all your money.
They just need to stop you from paying, traveling, or working.
That could turn “restoring normalcy” into leverage for extorting an entire country.
That’s also why Trump has recently taken the $6.3 billion Binance theft so seriously.
Ignore AI security today, and pay the price for losing control tomorrow!
This is the North Korean hacker wanted by the FBI, Park Jin-hyok.
He is believed to have been born in either 1981 or 1984, and is fluent in Korean, English, and Chinese.
U.S. authorities indicted him in 2018.
He was active in an organization linked to North Korea’s Reconnaissance General Bureau. Among the cases the U.S. Department of Justice accused him of participating in are:
The 2014 cyberattack on Sony Pictures
The 2016 theft of $81 million from the Bangladesh central bank
The 2017 WannaCry ransomware attack that swept the globe
And several other major cryptocurrency thefts
Although the FBI has released his name and photo, actually arresting him won’t be easy.
North Korean authorities won’t hand him over—and they need him to make money for the country!
Spending all that time watching the market and staring at K-line charts—why does it feel like we're working for North Korea?
Binance was hacked this time, with stolen assets worth approximately $6.36 billion
The hackers are busy moving the assets, and some of the funds have flowed into addresses linked to the previous Bitget exchange hack
So this case is very likely connected once again to the North Korean hacking group TraderTraitor
Of course, overlapping fund flows could also mean the two cases used the same money-laundering service. That alone isn't enough to draw a firm conclusion
The funds are constantly being split up, passed around, and sent in circles. It looks as if someone is deliberately turning the on-chain flow of funds into a tangled mess (just like in the image)
But no matter how convoluted things get, every transfer leaves a new clue to follow
After yesterday’s Binance hack, some accounts today have been spreading claims that “OKX was hacked,” citing an on-chain transaction transferring funds from OKX to an “unknown wallet.”
I understand the desire for traffic and attention, but this kind of behavior—ignoring the facts and spreading fear—not only misleads users but also undermines trust in the entire industry.
“Unknown wallet” means that the on-chain monitoring platform has not yet identified who owns the address. It does not mean that any assets have been stolen.
This transfer of 172 million USDT was actually an internal transfer of funds carried out by OKX itself.
Please help us debunk these rumors. Thank you.
At the same time, Binance handled this incident exceptionally well—textbook-level, in fact.
