Хакеры получили доступ к персональным данным 58 000 пользователей биткоин-банкоматов Byte Federal. Об этом сообщает TechCrunch со ссылкой на документы фирмы, поданные в прокуратуру штата Мэн.

В список скомпрометированных данных попали имена, адреса, номера телефонов, государственные удостоверения, номера социального страхования, сведения о транзакциях и фотографии пользователей.

Взлом произошел еще 18 сентября. Команда Byte Federal обнаружила проблему 18 ноября. По их словам, неназванный хакер получил доступ к серверам компании благодаря уязвимости платформы GitLab.

Выявив атаку, разработчики отключили платформу и изолировали пораженные части системы. Они также обновили все доступы и наняли независимую фирму для расследования инцидента. Средства клиентов не пострадали.

Согласно данным на сайте Byte Federal, компания обслуживает свыше 1200 устройств на территории США.

В марте 2023 года другой провайдер криптоматов General Bytes подвергся атаке, в результате которой злоумышленники получили доступ к персональным данным и средствам клиентов.

В январе 2024 года исследователи обнаружили и помогли устранить ряд уязвимостей в криптоматах фирмы Lamassu Industries.

Напомним, к июню 2024 года количество криптоматов в мире достигло 38 278 единиц, приблизившись к рекорду декабря 2022 года в 39 541 устройство.

Legendary Bloomberg Analyst Mike McGlone Makes New Comments on Bitcoin! 'We Are in a Bear Market'

Legendary Bloomberg analyst Mike McGlone has made new comments on Bitcoin, stating "We are in a bear market." This comes as the Bitcoin market enters a new phase following a sharp rise in institutional interest in spot ETFs. Recent data shows a massive $853 million inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs in a short period. In a recent broadcast, industry experts Dave Weisberger, David Duong, and Mike McGlone discussed this market dynamic. David Duong, Director of Research at CoinShares, argued that the ETF inflows confirm institutional confidence and long-term interest in crypto. He noted that with lowered rate hike expectations, investors are turning to risk assets like Bitcoin, creating significant upward price pressure. Dave Weisberger, CEO of CoinRoute, highlighted the impact of ETF inflows on exchange activity and liquidity. He stated that declining OTC supply forces ETF issuers to buy directly on the market, technically supporting a strong breakout. However, Mike McGlone, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Commodity Strategist, focused on broader macroeconomic risks. While acknowledging the short-term bullish momentum from ETFs, McGlone warned not to ignore global liquidity conditions and volatility in traditional markets. He assessed that although Bitcoin has signaled a technical breakout, a sustained rally depends on the overall macroeconomic balance and Fed actions, maintaining that BTC is currently in a bear market.

People's Bank of China Promises Steady Growth of Digital Yuan in Its 2026-2030 Plan

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has outlined plans for the "steady development" of the digital yuan (e-CNY) in its reform blueprint for the 2026-2030 period. The plan, which covers monetary policy, supervision, and financial openness, places e-CNY as a core task within the central bank's financial infrastructure goals. These include improving payment systems, aiding the credit industry, and strengthening anti-money laundering rules. Internationally, the PBOC aims to boost the yuan's use in trade and investment, develop cross-border payment networks, and expand offshore yuan markets, while enhancing Shanghai and Hong Kong's financial roles. Development began with research in 2014, leading to a formal launch in April 2022 and pilot programs in various cities. Recent domestic measures include allowing commercial banks to pay interest on e-CNY balances. Cross-border adoption is advancing. Pilot programs in Guangdong plan wider trials. Landmark transactions include a Singapore cross-border payment via the CBETS platform and the multi-central bank mBridge platform, which has expanded to Macao and facilitated large-scale transfers, including a record HKD 10 billion transaction. Corporate use of mBridge saw significant growth in the first half of the year.

Privacy and Quantum Security: Buterin Presents New Ethereum Development Plan

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has unveiled an updated development roadmap called "Strawmap," which extends through 2029. This plan introduces new priorities not present in the 2023 roadmap, primarily user privacy and quantum resistance. Key new focuses include making strong privacy a mandatory feature, not an option. Proposed tools include "privacy pools" to obscure fund origins and "wormholes" to break transaction traceability. The plan also emphasizes Fork-Choice Enforced Inclusion Lists (FOCIL) to prevent transaction censorship. Quantum resistance involves migrating to cryptographic algorithms secure against future quantum computers. Another major goal is "Lean Ethereum," a large-scale protocol simplification that may even involve replacing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with alternatives like RISC-V. The roadmap acknowledges the growing maturity of zero-knowledge cryptography (like SNARKs) for scaling and mentions future use of AI for formal code verification. Goals listed by Buterin are: defense against quantum computers, user privacy, high security, censorship resistance, scalable performance, and a simplified architecture. Strawmap is a living document, not a fixed schedule. The article's AI analysis notes the urgency of quantum preparedness, suggesting the transition must happen before "Q-Day" estimates, some as early as 2032.

Bitcoin Price Falls Below $64,000 Amid Sale of 1,690 BTC as Part of Strategy

Bitcoin's price fell below $64,000 on Monday, interrupting a multi-day period of minor gains. This decline occurred after the major Bitcoin treasury firm, Strategy, sold 1,690 BTC to fund a preferred stock buyback. The sale, executed at an average price of $64,262 per coin, generated $108.6 million, which was used to repurchase 1,152,020 shares of STRC. The drop saw Bitcoin's market cap shrink by over $20 billion and triggered the liquidation of over $47 million in leveraged long positions within 24 hours. The move was framed by Strategy's CEO, Fong Le, as part of its disciplined "Digital Credit Capital Framework," aimed at strengthening the company's U.S. dollar reserves and duration. However, critics like Peter Schiff questioned the logic of buying or holding the company's common stock, labeling it a "Ponzi scheme." In response, macro strategist Dan Hillary defended the action as prudent balance sheet optimization. He argued that selling a small portion of Bitcoin to repurchase discounted shares or shore up reserves for preferred dividends is a capital management step that reduces long-term capital costs and enhances financial resilience, prioritizing long-term shareholder value over short-term Bitcoin-per-share metrics.

The Cardano Foundation confirmed his exit separately but has not yet named a replacement or detailed how the CTO duties will be managed post-departure. The foundation's board and executive team stated they will continue collaborating with senior technical and business development staff to maintain focus on enterprise product implementation. The article also notes that Emurgo, one of the three entities supporting the Cardano blockchain alongside the Cardano Foundation and Input Output Global (IOG), announced its withdrawal from Cardano in July following a hack of its SecondFi wallet that resulted in a loss of 2.4 million ADA. Currently, Cardano ranks 29th by total value locked (TVL) in DeFi at $69.62 million across 69 protocols. At the time of writing, ADA was trading at $0.1961 with a market capitalization of $7.16 billion.
