周二,美国电信公司Lumen Technologies宣布已从希望安装更多针对人工智能的光纤电缆的公司获得50亿美元的新合同后,其股价飙升了93%。

根据Lumen首席执行官Kate Johnson的说法,这家总部位于路易斯安那州的公司目前正在就另一笔70亿美元的潜在交易进行谈判,以应对不断增长的客户需求。Lumen Technologies提供人工智能数据处理所需的光纤网络。她说,由于人工智能需求的蓬勃发展,光纤电缆变得“越来越有价值,而且可能受到限制”。

约翰逊在一份声明中表示:“人工智能经济正在改变商业运营,公司意识到他们需要强大的网络基础设施来管理当今前所未有的数据流和未来的需求。”。

她补充道:“我们的合作伙伴之所以转向我们,是因为我们的人工智能基础设施和庞大的网络。这只是Lumen一个重大机遇的开始,这将导致互联网有史以来最大的扩张之一。”。

消息传出后,周二纽约证券交易所收盘时,Lumen股价上涨93%,即每股2.41美元至5美元。自1月以来,股价上涨了160%以上。据谷歌财经报道,在过去的52周里,Lumen的股价已达到5.30美元的高点和0.78美元的低点。

8月6日发布的Lumen最新财务业绩显示,该公司2024年第二季度的净亏损从一年前的87亿美元缩小到4900万美元。2023年的数字包括非现金商誉减值费用。

作为50亿美元交易的一部分,Lumen表示,在未来五年内,其在美国的城际网络里程将“增加一倍以上”。该公司补充说,它还将提供大量尚未使用的已安装暗光纤。

7月,Lumen与微软达成协议,将Azure云计算平台用于其数字化转型和人工智能计划。该协议意味着Lumen现在是微软数据中心网络容量的第一大供应商。

The Hunter Becomes the Hunted: The Most Profitable MEV Bot Gets Hacked

A well-known and highly profitable Ethereum MEV Bot, Jaredfromsubway.eth, suffered a sophisticated on-chain attack this Saturday, losing over $7.5 million. Analysis by Blockaid and others reveals this was not a conventional phishing or smart contract exploit, but a targeted "counter-MEV honeypot attack." The attacker meticulously laid a trap over several weeks, deploying 66 fake token contracts and liquidity pools disguised as major assets like WETH and USDC. These pools created the illusion of arbitrage opportunities. The MEV Bot's automated system detected these signals, executed trades, and in the process, granted approval permissions to attacker-controlled contracts. These approvals were not revoked, creating a persistent vulnerability. The attacker then exploited this in a single transaction, draining the bot's ETH, USDC, and USDT holdings. Jaredfromsubway.eth is notorious as one of Ethereum's most active and profitable MEV Bots, primarily known for executing "sandwich attacks" to profit from transaction slippage. Estimates suggest it has earned tens of millions in MEV revenue. The incident highlights escalating crypto security threats, demonstrating that even top-tier automated "predators" are vulnerable to novel, logic-based attacks designed to exploit their own operational rules. Following the hack, an unverified X account impersonating Jaredfromsubway.eth emerged, falsely offering a bounty for the return of funds, prompting developer warnings for users to stay vigilant.
