According to Odaily Planet Daily, SlowMist's Chief Information Security Officer 23pds published a post on the X platform stating that the North Korean-linked hacker group APT 37 is launching attacks by hiding malware within JPEG image files. This malware uses a two-stage encrypted shellcode injection method to hinder analysis. The attackers exploit shortcut files with a .lnk extension, embedding Cmd or PowerShell commands within them to carry out the attack.

Odaily Planet Daily reported that former British Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne has launched a scathing attack on the Labour government's approach to cryptocurrencies, warning that the UK risks missing out on a "major financial reform" similar to the "1980s" and falling behind the trend. Osborne, who is now a member of the global advisory board of the US cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, said that Chancellor of the Exchequer Reeves and Bank of England Governor Bailey are keeping the UK in the slow lane. Osborne said: "Rachel Reeves is right, we have all become too risk-averse. The reason we became the world's financial center is that we are not afraid of change." "In cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, as in so many other things, the harsh truth is: we are completely left behind. It's time to catch up." Osborne said that accusing regulators of being overly cautious was a "lacking excuse" and that Reeves should follow the example of the US Congress and establish a legal framework for encryption. He warned that the United States, the European Union, Singapore and Abu Dhabi are all rushing to get ahead of the UK. (Financial Times)

Odaily Planet Daily reported that Lido co-founder Vasiliy Shapovalov stated on the X platform last weekend: "To ensure long-term sustainability, Lido Labs, the Lido Ecosystem, and the Lido Alliance have made the difficult decision to reduce the size of their contributor team, impacting approximately 15% of their workforce. This decision is not performance-related and is based purely on cost considerations. It is a difficult decision, but one based on long-term resilience. While making such a decision during a market upturn may seem counterintuitive, it demonstrates our unwavering commitment to sustainable growth, operational focus, and alignment with the interests of LDO token holders. Lido is planning for decades to come, and this adjustment will help solidify that foundation."
