According to PANews, a report by U.S. cybersecurity firm Socket reveals that North Korean hackers have uploaded over 300 malicious code packages to the popular software repository npm. These packages, disguised as misspelled versions of popular libraries like express and hardhat, contain malware capable of stealing passwords and cryptocurrency wallet keys. The operation, dubbed 'Infectious Interview,' involves hackers posing as tech recruiters targeting blockchain and Web3 developers. Despite some malicious packages being removed after approximately 50,000 downloads, several remain online. Researchers traced the code patterns back to North Korean hacker groups, noting the use of memory decryption techniques in loader scripts to avoid detection. Although GitHub has enhanced verification processes and removed some malicious packages, the threat to supply chain security persists. Security experts advise development teams to treat each dependency installation as a potential code execution risk, recommending thorough scanning and verification before integration into projects.#NorthKoreanHackers #Npm #Malware #MaliciousPackages #InfectiousInterview #Express #Hardhat #Blockchain #Web3 #Cryptocurrency #WalletSecurity #MemoryDecryption #Loader #GitHub #SupplyChainSecurity #CodeScanning #DependencyManagement #SoftwareSecurity

🚀 Global Policymakers May Reassess Crypto Asset Standards Amid Stablecoin Growth
#stablecoins #BaselCommitteeonBankingSupervision #cryptoassets #capitalstandards #riskweights #ErikThedeen #2022 #2026
According to BlockBeats, the rapid expansion of stablecoins could lead global policymakers to reconsider new banking capital standards for crypto assets, as stated by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's chair. Erik Thedéen, who also serves as the Governor of Sweden's central bank, highlighted this during a conference on Wednesday.
Thedéen noted that while stablecoins are currently a major focus, they were not the 'core concern' when policymakers established new capital rules for crypto assets in 2022. These regulations, which assign standardized risk weights for banks holding crypto assets, are scheduled to take effect in 2026. Thedéen emphasized the need for further discussion and evaluation of these standards.#stablecoins #BaselCommitteeonBankingSupervision #cryptoassets #capitalstandards #riskweights #ErikThedeen #2022 #2026
🚀 Bank of England Plans Temporary Limits on Stablecoin Holdings
#BankOfEngland #stablecoins #digitalassets #regulation #temporarymeasures #systemicstablecoins #holdinglimits #creditflow #financialstability #sterlingstablecoins #consultations #regulatoryframework
According to PANews, the Bank of England has announced plans to lift proposed restrictions on the amount of stablecoins individuals and businesses can hold once digital assets no longer pose a threat to the economy. Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden highlighted concerns that rapid adoption of stablecoins could lead to a significant outflow of bank deposits, potentially hindering credit flow to businesses and households. To address this, the Bank of England is considering temporary measures to limit the holdings of systemic stablecoins, as well as their overall size and transaction volume. These restrictions will be removed once it is determined that they no longer threaten the financing of the real economy.
Previously, experts expressed concerns that such limitations could impede the adoption of stablecoins pegged to the British pound. Breeden's recent statements indicate a softening of the Bank's policy stance. She also mentioned that if initial regulations are too lenient and stablecoin usage surges, adjustments to the rules may be necessary. Large companies may be exempt from holding more stablecoins if needed.
Breeden dismissed criticisms that the UK is lagging in the stablecoin sector, stating that the country plans to conduct consultations later this year and finalize a regulatory framework next year, aligning with the United States' objectives.#BankOfEngland #stablecoins #digitalassets #regulation #temporarymeasures #systemicstablecoins #holdinglimits #creditflow #financialstability #sterlingstablecoins #consultations #regulatoryframework
🚀 Bitcoin Options Market Sees Surge in Bearish Sentiment
#Bitcoin #Options #Bearish #PutOptions #Puts #Skew #MarketSentiment #BTC #BitcoinOptionsMarket #MarketMakers #DefensiveStrategy
According to PANews, recent analysis by Greeks.live reveals a significant increase in bearish sentiment within the Bitcoin options market. Over the past 24 hours, the proportion of large-scale bearish options transactions has risen sharply, accounting for more than $1.15 billion, or 28% of the total market transactions. These trades are primarily concentrated in shallow out-of-the-money put options for this week and month, with a high volume of activity between the $10,400 and $10,800 range.
Additionally, the skew has become more negatively biased, with a particularly noticeable short-term shift. The deepening of this negative bias is comparable to levels observed on the 11th, indicating a high level of fear among major market players, such as market makers, regarding potential market declines. This sentiment mirrors the panic seen after the market crash on the 11th. As a result, emulating these major players by purchasing put options as a defensive strategy may currently be a prudent choice.#Bitcoin #Options #Bearish #PutOptions #Puts #Skew #MarketSentiment #BTC #BitcoinOptionsMarket #MarketMakers #DefensiveStrategy

🚀 Australia Introduces New Regulations to Combat Cryptocurrency ATM Risks
#Australia #cryptocurrency #cryptocurrencyATMs #AUSTRAC #moneylaundering #fraud #regulations #financialcrime #cryptoregulation #criminalrisks
According to PANews, Australia's Interior Minister Tony Burke announced new regulations on Wednesday aimed at cracking down on cryptocurrency ATMs, which he described as 'high-risk products' linked to money laundering, fraud, and child exploitation. This announcement is part of broader measures introduced by Australia to combat money laundering, terrorism financing, and criminal risks. Burke highlighted the rapid growth of cryptocurrency ATMs in the country, noting that six years ago there were only 23 machines, which increased to 200 three years ago, and now stands at 2,000. Due to the difficulty in tracking cash purchases of cryptocurrencies, AUSTRAC has associated cryptocurrency ATMs with various criminal activities. Investigations revealed that 85% of the funds flowing through these ATMs involve scams or act as 'money mules' for laundering. This marks a peak in regulatory pressure on an industry accused of fostering financial crime and lacking effective oversight. Legislation is currently being drafted and will be submitted to parliament for review in the coming months, granting AUSTRAC the authority to restrict or prohibit 'high-risk products.' Burke stated that he will introduce this legislation.#Australia #cryptocurrency #cryptocurrencyATMs #AUSTRAC #moneylaundering #fraud #regulations #financialcrime #cryptoregulation #criminalrisks

The promotion period for this plan is set from 2025-10-16 00:00 (UTC) to 2025-12-31 23:59 (UTC).
New merchants joining Binance P2P during the promotion period will automatically qualify for the Merchant Protection Plan without needing a minimum trading volume or order count. This plan offers compensation for chargebacks or bank freezes, ensuring financial protection for affected orders. Existing merchants can also benefit from this plan if they meet the weekly threshold of at least 200 orders and a trading volume of $75,000. Compensation is capped at $500 per affected order, with additional compensation available for ad bidding orders and Gold/Pro/Shield merchants.
To qualify for compensation, merchants must submit a compensation application within 30 days after order completion and meet at least two of the following conditions: confirmation from judicial authorities that the merchant’s bank account is frozen for more than 15 days, issuance of documents to Binance P2P to retrieve the buyer’s order record, or suspension of the merchant’s bank account from receiving payments exclusively for Binance P2P trades for the past 90 days. Compensation will be paid in USDT token vouchers, based on the order amount that caused the freeze or chargeback.
