Хакеры взломали аккаунт Andreessen Horowitz ради продвижения токена a16z

Хакеры скомпрометировали учетную запись венчурной компании Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) в соцсети Х с более 850 000 подписчиками ради продвижения токена a16z, созданного на блокчейне Solana.

Злоумышленники опубликовали рекламные объявления с вредоносными ссылками, заявив, что Andreessen Horowitz официально запустила собственный токен. Хакеры назвали его «важным моментом в развитии криптовалют и экосистемы Solana». Взломщики успели опубликовать твиты о бесплатных раздачах токенов на $5 млн. Вскоре компания восстановила контроль над своим аккаунтом и удалила контент мошенников. Руководство Andreessen Horowitz заверило, что взломана была только учетная запись в бывшем Twitter.

«Наш аккаунт в X был ненадолго скомпрометирован. Хакеры продвигали мошеннический токен и другой фейковый контент, к которому a16z не имеет никакого отношения. Приносим извинения за путаницу, вызванную клоунами, которые временно захватили нашу учетную запись», — заявила компания.

После публикации хакерских постов токен a16z ненадолго вырос в цене, но вскоре обрушился почти на 90%. Сейчас рыночная капитализация монеты составляет около $214 230. Появились сообщения от людей, которые заявили, что стали жертвами этой схемы «пампа и дампа», потребовав от венчурной компании вернуть деньги.

Andreessen Horowitz не впервые подвергается хакерским атакам. В феврале криптообозреватель Колин У (Colin Wu), известный под псевдонимом WuBlockchain, сообщил, что учетная запись основателя a16z Криса Диксона (Chris Dixon) в Х была скомпрометирована и использовалась для продвижения мошеннического проекта.

От атаки хакеров не застрахованы даже государственные деятели. Недавно злоумышленники взломали аккаунт президента Парагвая Сантьяго Пеньи (Santiago Peña), объявив о создании государственного крипторезерва на $5 млн.

Major Player Saylor Intensifies Bitcoin Sell-Off: MicroStrategy Announces Another Large-Scale BTC Sale!

Strategy, the world's largest publicly traded holder of Bitcoin, has announced another major sale. Founder Michael Saylor stated the company sold 1,690 BTC for approximately $108.6 million between August 3rd and 9th, at an average price of $64,262 per Bitcoin. This sale marks the fourth consecutive week of selling, bringing Strategy's total Bitcoin holdings down to 840,447 BTC. The company has not purchased any BTC for approximately seven weeks. The stated purpose of the sale is to fund dividends for preferred shares and to repurchase its STRC shares. During the same period, Strategy raised $653.1 million through the sale of MSTR shares, using $109 million of that for the STRC share buyback. Following these actions, Strategy's US dollar reserves have grown to approximately $4.65 billion. The company reports this extends the period it can pay dividends using these dollar reserves by 143 days, to a total of 2.7 years. The moves also reportedly reduced the Bitcoin-backed loan burden for STRC by 10 basis points.

Bitcoin Mining Company MARA Holdings Sold a Large Number of Bitcoins in the First Half of the Year! Here Are All the Details

Bitcoin mining company MARA Holdings, listed on Nasdaq, sold a substantial amount of Bitcoin in the first half of the year. According to analytics platform Lookonchain, the company sold 23,093 BTC in the first six months of 2026 for approximately $1.6 billion. Following these sales, MARA's Bitcoin reserves decreased significantly, though it still holds 35,577 BTC. The remaining holdings are valued at around $2.3 billion based on current market prices. As one of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin miners, MARA typically holds mined Bitcoin on its balance sheet and sells portions periodically based on market conditions and funding needs. The recent large-scale sale demonstrates the company's active treasury management. Decisions by major miners to sell are closely watched, as such actions can influence market supply, especially when done to cover operational costs during periods of price volatility. While the sale highlights MARA's focus on liquidity, its continued holding of a sizable Bitcoin reserve underscores the asset's ongoing importance on its corporate balance sheet. The company's future actions regarding its Bitcoin treasury will likely depend on factors like Bitcoin's price, mining costs, and cash requirements.

Bitcoin Red Team founder turns to Chinese AI: ‘It absolutely guts me’

A Bitcoin security researcher, Rob Hamilton, states he has been forced to revert to using open-source Chinese AI models after OpenAI restricted his access. As CEO of AnchorWatch, he had begun integrating OpenAI's tools into his work with the Bitcoin Red Team, a volunteer group scanning Bitcoin-related code for vulnerabilities. His access was cut off the next day, preventing further investigation. Hamilton expressed frustration, saying that while malicious actors face no such restrictions, those conducting security research for harm reduction are hindered. This incident highlights a broader concern in the crypto industry about limited access to powerful AI tools for defensive security purposes, with only a select few major players reportedly having obtained such access.

Bitdeer increased Bitcoin mining output by nearly fivefold in Q2

Bitdeer's Bitcoin mining output surged nearly fivefold year-over-year in Q2 2026, producing 2,694 BTC compared to 565 BTC in the prior year. However, the company's Bitcoin holdings on its balance sheet fell 90% to 150 BTC, following a complete liquidation of its 943 BTC treasury in February, which it attributed to liquidity needs, not a departure from its core mining business. The company reported Q2 revenue of $228.8 million, a 47% increase, slightly exceeding Wall Street estimates. Self-mining revenue was $168.4 million, driven by a 389% jump in average hashrate. Despite the revenue growth, Bitdeer's net loss widened to $92.3 million from $62.9 million. Bitdeer is expanding beyond mining, notably signing a 16-year, $4.7 billion lease for AI computing capacity in Norway.

Stock Price Doubles Within the Year, Plummets 20% After Resumption, Baolai Medical's 'Chip Backdoor Listing' Script Ends

On August 10, 2026, BPL (300246.SZ) resumed trading after a nearly week-long suspension and immediately fell by a 20% limit-down. This plunge was triggered by the termination of a planned controlling stake transfer, dashing earlier market speculation. In January 2026, Zhejiang Quwei Zhihe Partnership entered as a significant shareholder, sparking hopes. Investors speculated that its backer, Weigu Information—a specialized "little giant" company in high-reliability solid-state storage chips—might be seeking a backdoor listing through BPL. This "cross-industry restructuring" expectation fueled a strong rally, with BPL's stock price more than doubling in 2026 prior to the halt. However, the deal was called off on August 7, directly causing the sharp sell-off. Underlying BPL's vulnerability is its fundamentally weak business. The company, a medical device firm, is mired in losses, having reported three consecutive years of net losses totaling over 200 million yuan. Its core hemodialysis business is squeezed by government procurement price cuts, while growth in its patient monitor segment has stalled. Furthermore, BPL faces imminent debt pressure with convertible bonds worth approximately 218 million yuan due in September 2026, and its current stock price is far below the conversion price. The failed control transfer may represent a delayed release of negative news, but BPL's core challenges remain: reversing operational losses and addressing its urgent liquidity crisis.
