The Shiba Inu project is moving beyond the realm of typical memecoins — the team has announced the development of a new privacy-focused identity system called Shib Identity, designed to protect users from future threats posed by quantum computing. In a recent update, the team warned that quantum risks are no longer a distant concern, as tech giants like Apple and Microsoft are already taking steps to address them. Shiba Inu aims to do the same.
"A long-term goal for Shiba Inu includes something that most ecosystems haven’t even begun to consider: a purpose-built identity system called Shib Identity," the team stated.

Digital Sovereignty at the Core
Shib Identity is built on a full-stack architecture that gives users complete control over their privacy and access to personal data. It utilizes cutting-edge fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), which allows data to be processed while still encrypted. This means user credentials remain private and are never revealed, even during verification.
According to the update, this advanced technology provides protection not only against today’s threats but also future challenges posed by quantum computing.

Shiba Inu Teams Up with Zama to Launch .shib Domains
Part of the strategy involves linking Shib Identity with the Shib Name Service (SNS). The project is working on securing approval from the global ICANN authority so that .shib domain names can function as standard internet domains.
Shiba Inu is partnering with French cryptography firm Zama to develop Shib Identity. Zama, a leader in FHE innovation, recently launched a public testnet for its Confidential Blockchain Protocol — a privacy layer that can be deployed across existing blockchains and provides full data encryption, even from node operators.
Shib Identity will be accessible through Shiba Inu’s TREAT token, though the team has yet to reveal how this integration will work, only noting that it is built into the design from the start.

Shiba Inu Advances Technologically, but Price Lags Behind
The identity solution is just one of several developments within the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Others include the Shib Alpha Bridge, a new cross-chain infrastructure linked to the project’s Shiba Alpha Layer-3 network. Shiba Inu has also launched Shibarium Layer-2, Shib Finance, and other initiatives aiming to evolve the project beyond its memecoin origins into a fully functional blockchain protocol.
However, these innovations haven’t yet translated into a stronger SHIB price. So far this year, SHIB has dropped by 38.57%, currently trading at $0.00001334. Although it gained 15% over the past week, the token still struggles to return to its 2021 highs.
The primary issue remains SHIB’s massive supply — 589 trillion tokens — and the limited burn rate. Only 1 billion SHIB were burned over the past seven days, which is a tiny fraction of the total supply.
Additionally, the presence of other ecosystem tokens like TREAT and BONE may be diluting SHIB’s utility. According to CoinMarketCap, TREAT surged 59% in the past week, while BONE rose just 3.85%, reflecting mixed token performance within the ecosystem.

🔹 Fake Zoom meeting invites and update links deceive Web3 teams

🔹 New NimDoor malware infiltrates macOS with advanced evasion techniques

🔹 Attackers steal browser data, passwords, and Telegram chats

Web3 and Crypto Companies Under Siege by NimDoor Malware
Security experts at SentinelLabs have uncovered a sophisticated malware campaign targeting Web3 startups and cryptocurrency firms. The attacks, linked to North Korean groups, use a combination of social engineering and technical stealth to deploy NimDoor malware, written in the rarely used Nim programming language to bypass antivirus detection.

The Setup: Fake Zoom Meetings Through Telegram
Hackers initiate contact via Telegram, posing as known contacts. They invite victims to schedule meetings via Calendly, then send them links to what appear to be Zoom software updates. These links lead to fake domains like support.us05web-zoom.cloud, mimicking Zoom's legitimate URLs and hosting malicious installation files.
These files contain thousands of lines of whitespace, making them appear "legitimately large." Hidden within are only three crucial lines of code, which download and execute the real attack payload.

NimDoor Malware: Spyware Specifically Targeting macOS
Once executed, the NimDoor malware operates in two main phases:
🔹 Data extraction – stealing saved passwords, browsing histories, and login credentials from popular browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, and Arc.

🔹 System persistence – maintaining long-term access through stealth background processes and disguised system files.
A key component specifically targets Telegram, stealing encrypted chat databases and decryption keys, giving attackers access to private conversations offline.

Built to Survive: Evasion and Reinstallation Techniques
NimDoor employs a range of advanced persistence mechanisms:
🔹 Automatically reinstalls itself if users try to terminate or delete it

🔹 Creates hidden files and folders that look like legitimate macOS system components

🔹 Connects to the attacker’s server every 30 seconds for instructions, disguised as normal internet traffic

🔹 Delays execution for 10 minutes to avoid early detection by security software

Difficult to Remove Without Professional Tools
Because of these techniques, NimDoor is extremely hard to remove with standard tools. Specialized security software or professional intervention is often required to clean infected systems completely.

Conclusion: Modern Cyberattacks Now Look Like Calendar Invites
Attacks like NimDoor prove how cleverly North Korean groups mimic daily workflows to penetrate even cautious targets. Fake Zoom links and innocent-looking updates can lead to full system compromise.
Users should never download updates from unofficial sources, always verify domain names, and stay vigilant against unexpected software prompts or invitations.
