🚨 FBI issues warning: Beware of cyberattacks by North Korean hackers targeting the cryptocurrency industry The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recently issued a warning that North Korean hackers are "actively" attacking the cryptocurrency industry. The methods used by these cyber bad guys are super sophisticated, and even experts who know everything about cybersecurity may fall for them! It is reported that their attacks are mainly through carefully designed social engineering strategies, such as pretending to be potential job opportunities or investment projects on social media X to approach targets. Once trust is established, they will take the opportunity to send malware into your device or company's network. At the same time, these hackers will also impersonate celebrities, technical experts, and even recruiters on professional social networking sites, using various means to induce you to download applications or perform some seemingly normal operations. However, the false scenarios they create are very attractive to the target individuals, so it is difficult to see through. Here, the FBI reminds all cryptocurrency companies and individuals to be vigilant and not to believe those seemingly tempting "opportunities". If you encounter suspicious situations, it is best to take timely measures to avoid unnecessary losses. Finally, what measures have you taken to protect your digital assets? Is it a hardware wallet, multi-signature, or some other trick? 💬 As cyberattacks continue to escalate, how do you stay up to date on the latest threats and take appropriate protective measures?

UN confidential report: Lazarus Group transferred $147.5 million in stolen cryptocurrency to North KoreaNorth Korean hackers sent millions in stolen cryptocurrency via Tornado Cash last year, a UN report shows. A confidential United Nations report obtained by Reuters shows that since last year, the notorious North Korean cybercrime group Lazarus Group has transferred millions in stolen cryptocurrency back to the Asian country. In March 2023, a North Korean hacker group illegally stole $14,750 worth of cryptocurrency from the HTX exchange, owned by Tron founder Justin Sun. A year later, they used the sanctioned crypto mixer Tornado Cash to transfer the funds into the closed country.

50% of mainstream BTC mining machines are approaching mining costs; ETF average holding price of $97,000 is trapped after the U.S. election? The fear index hits a new low since June 2022!Macroeconomic interpretation: When the #比特币 price continues to drop to as low as $82,250, it faces the most severe survival test in three years—the large-scale shutdown of mining machines and the continuous outflow of ETF funds have created a double strangulation, while #特朗普关税政策 new policies, SEC regulation, and #朝鲜黑客 attacks are pouring salt into the wounds of the market. This sudden 'stress test' is reshaping the underlying logic of the entire crypto ecosystem. The sound of machines roaring in the mining fields is becoming sparse, with more than half of Bitcoin mining machines caught in the 'electricity price squid game'. Data shows that at an electricity price of $0.06 per kilowatt-hour, 68 of the 135 mainstream mining machines are seeing daily earnings turn negative, with electricity costs for models like the Shennma M30S+ approaching 100%, equivalent to miners paying for electricity while barely breaking even. In a somewhat darkly humorous twist, the electricity cost absorption rate of former dominant machines like the Antminer S19 has reached 100%, making it a 'perfect loss machine'. However, there is hope in the crisis; the new generation of water-cooled mining machines, the S21XP series, with a 35% electricity cost ratio and a shutdown price of $29,000, is becoming a lifeboat for miners, and this arms race in computing power may accelerate the elimination of outdated mining machines.

🛡️ The United States, Japan, and South Korea jointly issued a statement: The cryptocurrency industry needs to be vigilant against the threat of North Korean hacker attacks Recently, the governments of the United States, Japan, and South Korea jointly issued a statement to warn friends in the cryptocurrency industry to beware of the threat of North Korean hackers. The warning stated that hackers continue to attack targets around the world with the aim of stealing cryptocurrencies to support their ballistic missile projects, which poses a threat to the global financial system and stability. In the joint statement, the three governments emphasized that organizations associated with North Korea, especially the Lazarus Group, have clearly demonstrated their malicious activity patterns in cyberspace through a series of acts of stealing cryptocurrencies. These actions not only erode the integrity of the financial system, but also pose a substantial threat to the three countries and the entire international community. The statement further pointed out that in order to effectively combat cybercrime and maintain the security of the international financial system, the public and private sectors of the three countries must strengthen cooperation. In addition, they reminded that some companies may have unknowingly hired North Korean IT personnel who may have been involved in circumventing sanctions and illegally obtaining funds from cryptocurrency projects. According to the Chainalysis report, North Korean hackers stole $2.2 billion from crypto platforms in 2024, up 21% year-on-year, accounting for 61% of the total value of stolen assets. The report also shows that North Korea stole more data than ever before in large-scale attacks in 2024.

White Sugar Today's Analysis—2025.3.1$BTC Market Overview As of February 28, 2025, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) is $80,244, with a 24-hour decline of 7.36%, showing a strong retracement trend. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) is priced at $2,130.33, with a drop of up to 10.06%, putting overall pressure on the market. Core Drivers of Market Decline Macroeconomic and Policy Environment The U.S. government has restarted tariff policies, increasing market uncertainty, leading to heightened risk-averse sentiment among investors and causing a pullback in the crypto market. The strengthening U.S. dollar index has also put pressure on Bitcoin. Additionally, the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike cycle has not yet ended, and market expectations for liquidity easing have decreased, further suppressing crypto assets. Market Sentiment and On-chain Data Recently, market expectations for regulatory easing have failed, resulting in insufficient investor confidence. On-chain data indicates that long-term holders are reducing their positions while short-term holders are panic selling, exacerbating market volatility. On the other hand, North Korean hacker groups are increasingly frequent in their cryptocurrency attacks, stealing large amounts of crypto assets through ransomware and cyberattacks, further increasing market uncertainty. Technical Analysis Bitcoin (BTC): The current price is near $80,000; if the support level of $73,800 is breached, it may further decline to $69,500. If market sentiment improves, the target price is $85,000. Ethereum (ETH): After ETH broke below the support level of $2,200, it is expected to further drop to $1,900. There is strong buying support at $1,700; if it stabilizes, consider accumulating in batches. Trading Strategy and Risk Management I hold a cautiously optimistic view of the market, believing that if ETH retraces to around $1,700, it is a relatively robust buying opportunity. Bitcoin should pay attention to the support zone at $73,800. Given the high market volatility, it is advisable to set strict stop-loss levels, control risk, and patiently wait for the best entry opportunity. Summary The current market is influenced by multiple factors, including the macro economy, market sentiment, technical pullbacks, and cyberattacks. In the short term, the market may continue to oscillate while awaiting more macro guidance. I will focus on the $1,700 support for Ethereum and the $73,800 support level for Bitcoin, reasonably control positions, and conduct flexible operations. {future}(BTCUSDT) $ETH {future}(ETHUSDT) #朝鲜黑客 #ETH

👊The U.S. Treasury Department strikes hard to crack down on North Korean cryptocurrency money laundering The U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) recently took tough measures to impose sanctions on two individuals and an entity company. These individuals and entities are accused of assisting North Korea in illegal money laundering activities. Among them, the key figure Sim Hyon Sop was pointed out as an agent of North Korean financial institutions, planning money laundering schemes, including establishing shell companies and managing bank accounts to transfer illegal funds. In addition, Chinese citizens Lu Huaying and Zhang Jian, who live in the UAE, were accused of facilitating North Korea or its agents since 2022, engaging in facilitating money laundering and cryptocurrency conversion services. Currently, OFAC has included Lu Huaying, Zhang Jian and their UAE subsidiary Green Alpine Trading, LLC on the sanctions list, accusing them of supporting Sim's illegal activities. Bradley Smith, acting undersecretary of the U.S. Treasury Department for terrorism and financial intelligence, said that North Korea uses complex criminal schemes to fund its weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs. The U.S. Treasury Department will continue to disrupt the networks that fund the North Korean regime and work with the UAE and international partners to continue to crack down on financial networks that fund North Korea's "sabotage activities." North Korean hackers have been accused of large-scale cryptocurrency thefts, causing serious damage to the industry. Related incidents include ZachXBT claiming in August that it hacked into 25 projects and stole $1.3 million; North Korean hackers associated with the Lazarus Group in October used loopholes to steal wallet credentials using fake NFT games; South Korean police confirmed in November that their organization planned the 2019 cryptocurrency robbery; and Radiant Capital recently confirmed that a hacker group associated with North Korea in October 2024 carried out a $50 million hacking attack on its DeFi platform. However, in the face of these allegations, North Korea has always firmly opposed them, claiming that these so-called "sabotage activities" and "hacking attacks" by the United States are unwarranted accusations and a political manipulation by the United States. 💬Finally, what do you think of these US sanctions and North Korean hacker accusations?

Recent on-chain stories: Hacker money laundering incident! Until now, Zhenkang is still haunted by the sudden market crash at that time. On one hand, the incident happened too suddenly, and the main reason is that Zhenkang was bullish at that time and was directly hit to the stop loss. As of now, there has not been a conclusion. We do not discuss political matters; we only talk about security issues and their impact on the cryptocurrency market. We have already seen that the EU has implemented stricter regulations on the cryptocurrency market, and the strengthening of regulatory efforts will inevitably further promote transparency. Previously neglected security issues will also receive attention. It seems that whether it's Bloomberg, the EU, or OKEx, everyone has unique insights on this incident. The situation is shrouded in fog, and Zhenkang maintains a personal perspective. I just hope that all retail investors improve their security awareness.
