US Shell Firms Created by North Korean Cybercriminals to Attack Cryptocurrency Developers: Analysis
North Korean hackers, associated with the infamous Lazarus Group, have established shell companies in the US to spread malware among cryptocurrency developers, highlighting significant flaws in business registration systems and contravening US sanctions.
Cybersecurity company Silent Push disclosed that two firms, Blocknovas LLC and Softglide LLC, were created using fake identities and documents, enabling North Korean operatives to pose as legitimate crypto job providers.
A third unregistered entity, Angeloper Agency, is also connected to the scheme. The hackers employed counterfeit professional profiles and job advertisements primarily on platforms like LinkedIn. After establishing contact, victims were invited to "interviews" and encouraged to download malware masquerading as hiring tools or technical evaluations.
The malware was capable of data theft, remote access, and additional network infiltration, with the FBI seizing the Blocknovas domain.
$FIS /USDT Quick Update
Current Price: $0.2045 (+7.35%)
FIS showing some strength today! After hitting a bottom around $0.1908, it slowly built up momentum and then BOOM — a sharp pump up to $0.2088. Right now, it’s holding nicely above $0.20, which is a good sign for bulls.
Volume looks healthy, and buyers are stepping in after the breakout. If FIS can stay above $0.2035, I believe we could see another move toward $0.21 or even higher. But if it drops back under $0.20, might be a sign to stay cautious.
I’m personally watching for a clean retest around $0.203 before thinking about entries. No FOMO — patience pays!

$FXS /USDT Update
Current Price: $2.695 (+13.91%)
FXS made a strong move today! It pumped from around $2.53 all the way to $2.78 — a clean breakout. But after hitting the top, it faced strong selling pressure and dropped back down. Right now, it’s trying to hold above $2.68.
Honestly, the first pump looked solid, but the fast dump after the peak shows sellers are active. If FXS can stay above $2.68, we might see another push up. But if it loses this level, it could fall back towards $2.63 or lower.
I’m personally being careful here — volume looks okay, but the rejection at the top wasn’t pretty. No rush, just watching for a better setup.

FLM just pumped over 28% today, but honestly, this move looks fake to me.
The price shot up really fast from around $0.0337 to $0.0454 without much real consolidation.
When I see this kind of straight-line move with huge volume in a short time, it usually smells like a setup probably whales trying to trap retail traders.
Right now, it’s holding around $0.0436, but if it breaks below $0.0408, it could dump just as fast as it pumped.
Personally, I’m staying out for now and waiting for a proper retest or some real support to build.
No FOMO here — better to be late than trapped.
The $SIGN project, which will soon be listed on #BinanceTR, introduces a new approach to information verification in the digital world. Traditionally, verifying claims such as a bank balance or academic degree required trust in institutions like banks, universities, or government agencies. However, as technology and the internet evolve rapidly, relying solely on trust is no longer sufficient. Independent and transparent verification mechanisms are becoming essential.
This is where Sign Protocol comes in. It enables individuals and organizations to verify any type of information securely on the #blockchain, without the need to depend on third parties. By recording verifiable proofs on-chain, Sign Protocol allows anyone to independently confirm the authenticity of information in a fast and reliable way.
A core principle of Sign Protocol is simplicity. Historically, verification processes have been slow and cumbersome, often requiring physical documentation and in-person approvals. With Sign Protocol, processes such as confirming a bank balance can now be completed seamlessly through blockchain-based validation eliminating the need for intermediaries.
Another key feature of Sign Protocol is its openness. The protocol is accessible not only to large corporations but also to individuals, startups, and independent developers. It allows users to validate and showcase verified achievements, professional experiences, and credentials as part of their digital identity enhancing trust and credibility in the digital space.
In summary, Sign Protocol offers an innovative infrastructure for independent, proof-based verification of information, aiming to reshape how trust is built and maintained online and offline.
BinanceTR will be among the first platforms to list $SIGN, with trading scheduled to begin on Monday, April 28, 2025, at 2:00 PM.

XRP Holders: Big Profit is Coming 😃
XRP Price Prediction: $3.50 Target, but MUTM May Beat It!
XRP forms a bull flag pattern, signaling a potential rally to $3.50 as SEC issues near closure. However, new competitor Mutuum Finance (MUTM), priced at $0.025, is catching attention fast.

With $7.2M raised and 140% ROI expected at launch ($0.06 listing price), early investors are piling in. MUTM’s DeFi innovations (P2P lending, cross-chain support) and a $100K giveaway are fueling rapid growth. While XRP is strong, MUTM could hit major targets first.
