      Bitcoin Mining at Home in 2025: A Complete Guide

      Bitcoin mining has evolved into a sophisticated industry, but that doesn’t mean individuals can’t participate from home. In 2025, with the right hardware, software, and strategy, you can still mine BTC profitably—if you know what you're doing.
      This guide covers four realistic ways to mine Bitcoin at home, the equipment you’ll need, costs, and expected returns.

      Key Takeaways
      ✔ Lottery Mining – Fun and cheap, but don’t expect consistent rewards.
      ✔ Solo ASIC Mining – Full control, but requires luck and investment.
      ✔ Pool Mining – The most reliable way for steady payouts.
      ✔ Cloud Mining – Hassle-free, but often less profitable than running your own rig.
      Why Mine Bitcoin in 2025?
      Bitcoin’s adoption continues to grow, with major corporations like Strategy and Metaplanet (a Japanese firm) adding BTC to their balance sheets. Regulatory clarity is improving, especially with MiCA in the EU and a more crypto-friendly stance in the US under a potential Trump administration.
      Most importantly, Bitcoin has surpassed $100,000 in 2025, driven by ETF demand and post-halving scarcity. This makes mining more attractive—if you can do it efficiently.

      Option 1: Lottery Mining – High Risk, Rare Rewards
      Lottery mining is the cheapest way to mine Bitcoin, but it’s more like playing the lottery than a steady income source.
      How It Works:
      Use low-power devices like the Bitaxe HEX (3 TH/s) or GekkoScience R909 (1.5 TH/s).
      Connect to Solo CKPool, where you keep 100% of any block reward.
      Statistically, hitting a block is extremely rare—but it happens.

      IOTA Set to Launch Major Rebased Protocol Upgrade in Two Weeks

      IOTA, the layer-1 blockchain network, is gearing up to implement a significant upgrade known as the Rebased Protocol on May 5, 2025. This upgrade marks a historic shift as the network transitions from the Stardust framework to the innovative IOTA network.
      The development team asserts that the upcoming Rebased Protocol will represent the blockchain's "largest, most intricate, and most crucial upgrade to date." Several key features of the protocol are highlighted, promising immediate benefits upon launch.
      Among the notable enhancements is the Mysticeti consensus protocol, which aims to achieve exceptional scalability and rapid transaction speeds, facilitating a throughput of over 50,000 transactions per second and finality times under 500 milliseconds.
      Another pivotal change is the integration of smart contracts based on the Move programming language directly into the layer-1 network. This advancement will empower developers to create sophisticated, scalable, and secure decentralized applications (dApps). The IOTA network will be the third to implement the Move Virtual Machine (MoveVM), following similar offerings from Sui and Aptos.
      Additionally, the Rebased upgrade will introduce minimal transaction fees through an adaptive fee-burning mechanism. The new IOTA Gas Station feature will enable developers and businesses to cover transaction fees for their users, allowing them to conduct transactions without needing IOTA tokens.
      Furthermore, the network will evolve into a fully decentralized delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) system, starting with 50 permissionless validator slots and expanding to over 150 slots over time. The initial validators for the IOTA Rebased Genesis include a range of organizations such as the IOTA Foundation, IOTA Ecosystem DLT Foundation, and several others.
      This upgrade follows a comprehensive process of governance voting, technical testing, and audits. During a governance vote in December, the IOTA community expressed strong support for the Rebased protocol upgrade proposal, confirming the shift from layer-1 to a Move-based object ledger.
      The migration to the new IOTA Rebased protocol is heralded as a significant milestone in the project’s journey, positioning it for increased adoption and new applications. The upgrade aims to attract institutional investors and even entire countries to its tokenization platforms, trade digitization services, trade finance, and digital identity solutions.
      IOTA also plans to enhance its Web3 ecosystem with advanced applications, including DeFi protocols, on-chain order book exchanges, supply chain solutions, and stablecoins.
      As for market performance, IOTA currently trades at $0.1727, having increased by 1% in the last day and 6% over the week. However, it has seen a decline of 6% over the past month and a significant 29% decrease year-on-year. The cryptocurrency's all-time high stood at $5.25 in December 2017, reflecting a staggering drop of 96.7% since then.

      KuCoin's Strategic Move To Align With EU Crypto Regulations: Pursuing MiCA License In Austria

      In light of intensifying regulations across the European Union aimed at the cryptocurrency sector, leading exchanges are under increasing pressure to adapt to the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework. The latest move by KuCoin, a prominent global exchange, involves the establishment of a foothold in Vienna to leverage Austria’s regulatory advantages, paving the way for broader access to the vast European market of approximately 500 million users.
      KuCoin’s European arm, KuCoin EU Exchange GmbH, has initiated the application process for a MiCA license in Austria. This strategic decision underscores the company’s commitment to adhering to EU regulations as it aims to provide cryptocurrency services across the European Economic Area (EEA).
      With plans to utilize its cutting-edge technology and well-established global presence, KuCoin intends to roll out innovative crypto products customized for the European market. If granted, the MiCA license will empower the exchange to operate as a legitimate crypto-asset service provider within both the EU and the EEA.
      KuCoin EU Aims for MiCA License and Sets Up Vienna Headquarters
      As announced, securing the MiCA license will enable KuCoin EU to function as a compliant crypto-asset service provider, aligning its operations with the financial laws of Europe. The choice of Vienna as its regional headquarters is strategic, as Austria boasts a well-structured regulatory environment and a talent pool of experts in both the cryptocurrency and fintech industries.
       
       
      BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin, stated, “As a prominent player in the crypto exchange space, we prioritize regulatory compliance and enhancing the user experience. Establishing our European hub in Vienna and applying for the MiCA license is a significant achievement in our global strategy.”
      He further emphasized, “Upon receiving our license, we will provide secure and seamless crypto services to users across the EEA, reaffirming our dedication to a transparent and accountable digital asset ecosystem.”
      To lead the operations at KuCoin EU, the exchange has appointed two seasoned professionals: Oliver Stauber, previously the General Counsel and Managing Director at Bitpanda, as CEO, and Christian Niedermüller, a well-respected figure in the European crypto arena, as COO. Their combined expertise in financial regulations and exchange management will be instrumental in navigating the complex regulatory landscape.
      Austria's Pro-Crypto Regulatory Landscape Attracts Global Participants
      Austria is quickly becoming a pivotal player in the realm of cryptocurrency regulation. With the full implementation of the MiCA regulation—which was adopted in April 2023 and will take full effect by December 30, 2024—Austria offers a robust framework for firms seeking compliance.
      MiCA outlines standardized rules for crypto-asset issuers and service providers, mandating licensing for crypto asset service providers (CASPs) and ensuring adherence to transparency, consumer protection, and disclosure requirements.
      One of the significant benefits of this regulation is the "passporting" mechanism, allowing companies with a single EU license to operate in all 30 EEA member states without having to obtain individual national approvals.
      Several leading exchanges, including OKX, Crypto.com, and Bybit, have either secured or are in the process of acquiring their MiCA licenses. Moreover, in December 2024, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) called on organizations to address the issue of non-compliant stablecoins, such as Tether’s USDT, leading some exchanges to remove it from their listings.
      Boerse Stuttgart Digital Custody was the first firm to be awarded a MiCA license by BaFin in Germany, with other companies such as MoonPay, BitStaete, ZBD, and Hidden Road following suit in the Netherlands.
      Through MiCA, the EU aims to establish a streamlined and transparent regulatory framework for digital assets. As it stands, KuCoin's application is part of a collective effort by various international crypto firms aiming to solidify their presence in the European market. The outcome of the approval process will critically influence how swiftly the exchange can align with the region's regulatory standards and commence its operations under EU oversight.

      Elon Musk’s Company X Discloses Shareholder List Featuring Bill Ackman, Binance, and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs

      Elon Musk’s firm, X, has published its complete shareholder list as of June 2023, following a court mandate. This compilation reveals a distinctive array of prominent investors and influential figures from the tech sector who have supported Musk’s efforts to privatize the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
      https:
      Diverse Support for Musk’s Venture
      Among the prominent investors are notable venture capital firms such as Andreessen Horowitz, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, and Sequoia Capital, all of which had previously backed Musk's acquisition.
      In addition to these giants, the list includes Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison and cryptocurrency leader Binance, showcasing the varied financial resources behind Musk's initiatives.
      Surprisingly, Sean “Diddy” Combs appears on the list through Sean Combs Capital, marking revealed involvement that had not been widely recognized prior to a report by the Daily Mail.
      Adding to the intrigue, activist investor Bill Ackman, known for his criticisms of institutional practices at elite universities, has made investments through the Pershing Square Foundation.
      Among the other noteworthy investors are Joe Lonsdale’s 8VC, a company purportedly linked to Russian oligarchs.
      Additionally, former Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey and Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal al Saud have converted their original investments in Twitter into stakes in X following Musk’s takeover.
      Legal Revelations and Insights
      This shareholder list was documented in a court filing dated June 9, 2023, but only made public recently following a legal motion by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, which supports journalist Jacob Silverman.
      In a blog post, Silverman emphasized that while many supporters were already recognized, the newly disclosed list offers invaluable insights without revealing specific ownership proportions. He noted that it serves as “a great starting point for journalists, researchers, regulators, activists, and anyone else wanting to understand the inner workings of this significant company.”
      Binance and Its Global Aspirations
      In May, India’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU-IND) announced that Binance had successfully registered with the regulatory body, marking its return to the country after overcoming certain legal obstacles.
      Prior to this, Binance had secured a license from VARA, Dubai’s regulatory authority, allowing it to serve both retail and institutional clients.
      According to Bloomberg, this licensing process required Binance’s founder and former CEO, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), to give up voting control of the Dubai operation.
      Moreover, Binance has recently launched a joint venture crypto exchange named Binance Thailand in collaboration with Gulf Innova, a subsidiary of Gulf Energy Development. Binance Thailand, or Binance TH, offers digital asset exchange services with trading options in Thai baht.
      Despite these advancements, Binance continues to face heightened regulatory scrutiny globally. Last year, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) filed charges against the exchange, alleging it operated an illegal digital asset derivatives exchange and evaded compliance with federal laws.
      Similarly, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission charged Binance Holdings LTD and Changpeng Zhao for purportedly running unregistered exchanges and broker services, as well as unlawfully offering and selling securities.

      Twitter Customer Database Hacked

      On the evening of July 14th, 2020, Twitter users around the world were shocked to learn that the company had experienced a major security breach. According to reports, hackers had managed to gain access to the company's internal systems and had stolen a large amount of data, including user information and confidential data about the company itself. In this article, we will explore what happened in the Twitter database theft, its impact, and what can be done to prevent similar incidents in the future.
      The first indication that something was amiss came in the form of a tweet from the official Twitter account of the company. The tweet stated that the company was aware of a "security incident" and was investigating the matter. In subsequent tweets, the company acknowledged that a number of high-profile accounts had been compromised and that the hackers had used the accounts to post scam messages, soliciting bitcoin donations.
      As the details of the breach began to emerge, it became clear that this was no ordinary hack. According to Twitter, the hackers had used a sophisticated attack that targeted a small number of employees with access to internal systems and tools. Once inside the system, the hackers were able to access a wide range of data, including usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, and more. In some cases, they were even able to access the direct messages of high-profile accounts.
      The impact of the Twitter database theft was far-reaching. Not only were individual users affected by the loss of their personal information, but the hack also had implications for the security of the platform as a whole. The fact that the hackers were able to gain access to internal systems raised questions about the effectiveness of Twitter's security protocols and the measures that the company had in place to protect user data.
      In response to the hack, Twitter took swift action to address the issue. The company temporarily disabled the ability to tweet from verified accounts and required all users to reset their passwords. In addition, the company launched an investigation into the incident and worked with law enforcement agencies to identify and apprehend the individuals responsible.
      So, what can be done to prevent similar incidents in the future? One key step is to ensure that internal systems and tools are properly secured. This includes ensuring that access to sensitive systems is limited to a small number of trusted employees and that those employees are regularly trained on security best practices. In addition, companies should consider implementing multi-factor authentication for all users, which requires users to provide more than one form of identification before gaining access to sensitive data or systems.
      Another important step is to regularly review and update security protocols. Companies should regularly test their security systems and procedures to ensure that they are effective in preventing and detecting breaches. This may involve conducting regular vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and other security tests to identify and address potential weaknesses in the system.
      Finally, it is important to educate users about the importance of good security practices. This includes encouraging users to use strong, unique passwords for all accounts, to enable multi-factor authentication wherever possible, and to be wary of phishing emails and other types of scams. Companies can also provide users with resources and tools to help them better understand security risks and how to protect themselves online.
      In conclusion, the Twitter database theft was a wake-up call for companies around the world about the importance of good security practices. While no system is completely foolproof, there are steps that can be taken to minimize the risk of breaches and protect user data. By implementing strong security protocols, regularly reviewing and updating security systems, and educating users about good security practices, companies can help to prevent similar incidents in the future and protect the privacy and security of their users.

      🚨 The Vanilla Drainer Scam: How a New Cyber Threat Stole $5M+ in Weeks 💸

      A new and highly effective crypto-draining service known as Vanilla Drainer has stormed onto the dark web scene, orchestrating thefts exceeding $5.27 million in just a three-week period. This sophisticated operation highlights a worrying evolution in digital asset scams, proving that cybercriminals are continuously refining their methods to bypass security measures.
      Understanding the "Drainer" Threat

      Please Register !

      Please Register !


      So, what exactly is a "drainer"? In simple terms, it's a malicious software kit sold to fraudsters on the dark web. These kits are designed to create convincing phishing websites that, when connected to a user's crypto wallet, can secretly authorize transactions, draining all their assets in seconds. Vanilla Drainer is the latest iteration of this threat, quickly gaining notoriety for its effectiveness and ability to fly under the radar.
      Vanilla Drainer's Rapid and Costly Rise

      Please Register !


      While the overall volume of crypto-draining scams has decreased since its peak in 2024—where nearly $500 million was stolen—new services like Vanilla are making a significant impact. According to blockchain investigator Darkbit, this particular drainer is quickly absorbing the user base of older services like Inferno Drainer and is responsible for a string of recent high-value thefts.
      One of the most devastating single events occurred on August 5, where a single victim lost a staggering $3.09 million in stablecoins. For providing the tools, the operators of Vanilla Drainer took a cut of approximately $463,000 from this heist alone.
      How the Scam Works: Bypassing Security and Cashing Out

      Please Register !


      Vanilla Drainer markets itself with a bold claim: the ability to bypass advanced security platforms like Blockaid. This is a key selling point for cybercriminals, as improved fraud detection has been a major hurdle for them.
      The financial arrangement is standard for the underground market: the creators of the drainer take a 20% commission on all successfully stolen funds. After taking their cut, the stolen tokens are typically converted into a blockchain's native currency (like Ethereum - ETH) or into Dai (DAI), a decentralized stablecoin that is much harder to trace and freeze compared to centralized alternatives like USDT or USDC. The fees are then funneled to a final wallet, which, at the time of the report, held over $2.23 million.
      A Disturbing Trend: Phishing Scams Are on the Rebound

      Please Register !


      The success of Vanilla Drainer is part of a larger, alarming trend. After a period of decline, phishing scams saw a massive rebound in July, with stolen amounts skyrocketing by 153% from the previous month to a total of $7.09 million. The number of individual victims also rose by 56%.
      To evade detection, Vanilla and similar services have adopted agile new tactics. As Darkbit notes, they are now "cycling through domains" and generating fresh malicious contracts for every phishing site, making it incredibly difficult for security systems to blacklist them effectively.
      The Eternal Game of Whack-a-Mole: Shut Down, But Never Gone

      Please Register !


      Perhaps the most frustrating aspect for investigators is the resilient nature of these drainer services. A public "shutdown" is rarely the end. A prime example is Inferno Drainer, which announced its retirement in late 2023 only to have its operations and tools resurface throughout 2024 and into 2025, being linked to over $9 million in losses in a six-month span.
      Vanilla Drainer's rapid growth and Inferno's persistence demonstrate a clear pattern: these criminal services don't die; they adapt, rebrand, and transfer ownership. The fight against them is a continuous cat-and-mouse game, requiring constant vigilance from both investors and security professionals.

      Binance Facing Legal Action by SEC: Implications for the Crypto Market

      Introduction:
      In recent news, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against Binance, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges. The legal action taken by the SEC carries significant implications for both Binance and the broader crypto market. This article aims to shed light on the details of the case and explore the potential consequences for the exchange and the cryptocurrency industry as a whole.
      Background:
      Binance, founded in 2017, quickly rose to prominence as a global leader in the cryptocurrency exchange space. With its wide array of trading options and extensive coin offerings, the platform has attracted millions of users worldwide. However, its rapid growth and expanding services have also drawn increased regulatory scrutiny.
      The SEC Lawsuit:
      The SEC alleges that Binance has violated securities laws by offering and selling digital asset securities to U.S. investors without proper registration. The complaint suggests that Binance allowed users to trade securities that qualify as securities under U.S. law, yet failed to meet the necessary regulatory requirements.

      Circle The First E-Money Issuer In The EU

      The First Company to Embrace EU Regulations
      Without any major surprises in the market, the first company to announce its compliance with regulatory standards in the EU is Circle. Its French subsidiary will launch the issuance of USDC and EURC in accordance with the upcoming EU regulatory framework for Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA). The company has obtained an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license from the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution (ACPR)—the French banking regulatory authority. This means that both USDC and EURC will be issued in the EU in compliance with the regulatory framework coming into effect on June 30, 2024.
      “Since its inception, Circle has been committed to building a durable, compliant, and well-regulated infrastructure for stablecoins. Our alignment with MiCA, one of the most comprehensive regulatory laws for cryptocurrencies worldwide, marks a significant step forward in bringing digital currency into widespread adoption. By closely working with French and EU regulators, we can now offer both USDC and EURC as fully compliant dollar and euro stablecoins in the European market, unlocking immense potential for digital assets to transform finance and trade.”
      — Jeremy Allaire, Co-founder and CEO of Circle.
      “Achieving compliance with MiCA through our French EMI license is a significant step forward, not only for Circle but for the entire digital financial ecosystem in Europe and beyond. As digital assets become increasingly integrated into mainstream finance, establishing robust and transparent frameworks is crucial for promoting trust and adoption. Today’s announcement further strengthens our commitment to building a more inclusive, compliant future for the internet of finance.”
      — Dante Disparte, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy at Circle.
      As one of the leading stablecoins by market capitalization, USDC is currently the only stablecoin compliant with MiCA. This achievement highlights Circle's commitment to regulatory compliance for dollar and euro stablecoins. The company’s proactive approach to meeting high standards of security, transparency, and oversight will help promote the mass adoption of regulated digital currencies.
      What Does This Mean for the Average Consumer?
      This announcement is the result of a marketing twist from the most regulated stablecoin associated with BlackRock. For us—ordinary consumers navigating the secondary market—it may not seem extraordinary. According to EU regulations, companies like Circle should suspend the issuance of stablecoins if they meet two criteria: a trading volume exceeding one million transactions or a daily trading volume of 200 million euros. However, there’s a caveat: peer-to-peer (P2P) trading and crypto-to-e-money transactions do not count towards this definition.
      There is a significant possibility that, under these regulations, Tether (USDT) may not be able to comply. Additionally, the issue of staking stablecoins in Poland remains, as this license does not influence such activities. Let’s hope that the intellectuals in our home territory find a way to address that as well.
      In conclusion, Circle’s proactive stance represents a potential turning point for stablecoins in the EU, but it also raises important questions about how these regulations will affect other players in the market and the average consumer's engagement with digital currencies. As the cryptocurrency space evolves, the focus on regulatory compliance will likely dictate the future landscape of digital finance.

      💰🔒 CrediX Strikes Deal: $4.5M in Stolen Crypto Recovered

      Please Register !

      What Happened?
      Crypto lending and money market protocol CrediX has announced the recovery of $4.5 million worth of digital assets that were stolen in a recent exploit. The breakthrough came after the team reached a private agreement with the hacker responsible for the breach.
      According to blockchain security company Cyvers, the exploit occurred on Monday, when the attacker used a Tornado Cash–funded wallet to bridge the stolen funds onto the Ethereum network.

      Please Register !

      Settlement With the Exploiter
      In a rather unexpected twist, CrediX revealed that it negotiated directly with the attacker, who agreed to return the stolen funds. In exchange, the exploiter reportedly received a confidential payout from the project’s treasury.

      Please Register !

      The team also confirmed that the recovered assets will be distributed back to all affected users via airdrop within 48 hours.

      Please Register !

      Crypto Hacks in 2025 – A Growing Trend
      The CrediX incident adds to a growing list of major hacks this year. Blockchain intelligence firm CertiK reported that losses from exploits, scams, and hacks have already surpassed $2.47 billion in the first half of 2025.
      In Q2 alone, $800 million was lost across 144 separate incidents, although that was a 52% drop compared to Q1.
       
      Unfortunately, most projects never recover fully after such breaches. Research by Immunefi shows that nearly 80% of cryptocurrencies fail to regain their market value following a hack, which often causes more lasting damage than the theft itself.

      Notable Cases
      July 2025: Another hacker returned $40M stolen from the GMX exploit after negotiating a $5M white-hat bounty.
      May 2024: A thief surrendered $71M from a wallet poisoning scam under pressure from investigators.
      SlowMist even tracked the CrediX attacker’s IP addresses to Hong Kong, which might have played a role in their decision to give up the funds.

      Hackers Targeting Banks Too
      The threat isn’t limited to crypto. On July 5, 2025, Brazilian banking service provider C&M Software was hacked for $140M, affecting six connected financial institutions.
      Reports suggest that a C&M employee sold their login credentials for just $2,700, giving the hacker direct access to central bank systems and reserve accounts.

      Final Thoughts
      The CrediX case shows that while hacks remain a massive problem in 2025, negotiated settlements may sometimes offer a path to partial recovery for victims. Still, relying on attackers’ goodwill is far from a sustainable solution — the crypto industry urgently needs stronger security measures to protect users and funds.

      Activision Hacked In 2021

      In early 2021, Activision, one of the world's largest video game publishers, experienced a major hack that compromised the personal data of thousands of users. The attack was first reported by Vice's Motherboard, which obtained a copy of the ransom note left by the hackers. The note demanded a ransom payment of $4,000,000 in exchange for the stolen data, which included email addresses, passwords, and other sensitive information.
      The hack was carried out by a group of hackers who called themselves "The Suffering." According to Motherboard, the group gained access to Activision's systems by exploiting a vulnerability in the company's virtual private network (VPN). Once inside, the hackers were able to steal a large amount of data from Activision's servers, including information about the company's upcoming games and user data.
      The Suffering also claimed to have access to the source code for some of Activision's most popular games, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone. While Activision has not confirmed this claim, the company did acknowledge that the hack had occurred and that user data had been compromised.
      In response to the hack, Activision issued a statement saying that it takes the security of its systems and the privacy of its users "very seriously." The company also said that it had taken steps to address the vulnerability that was exploited in the attack and that it was working with law enforcement to investigate the incident.
      Activision also advised its users to change their passwords and enable two-factor authentication on their accounts as a precautionary measure. The company also said that it would provide additional updates on the situation as more information became available.
      The hack of Activision is just the latest in a string of high-profile cyber attacks that have affected companies and organizations around the world. These attacks have highlighted the growing importance of cybersecurity in today's digital age, and the need for companies to take proactive measures to protect their systems and data from potential threats.
      One of the biggest challenges facing companies like Activision is the sheer scale of their operations. With millions of users and a vast network of servers and systems, it can be difficult to identify and address potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by hackers.
      To address this challenge, many companies are turning to artificial intelligence and machine learning tools to help them monitor their systems and identify potential threats in real-time. These tools can analyze vast amounts of data and identify patterns that may indicate a potential attack, allowing companies to take action before any damage is done.
      Another key component of effective cybersecurity is employee training and awareness. Many cyber attacks are the result of human error, such as employees falling for phishing scams or using weak passwords. By educating employees about best practices for online security, companies can reduce the risk of these types of incidents and strengthen their overall cybersecurity posture.
      Ultimately, the hack of Activision serves as a reminder of the importance of cybersecurity in today's digital world. As the frequency and complexity of cyber attacks continue to grow, companies must remain vigilant and take proactive measures to protect their systems and data from potential threats.

      North Korean Hackers Deploy New macOS Malware Targeting Crypto Industry — What You Need to Know

      A Sophisticated New macOS Malware Threat Targets Web3 and Crypto Firms
      In a troubling development, North Korean hackers have stepped up their cyberoffensive with a brand-new malware strain designed specifically for macOS systems, targeting businesses in the Web3 and cryptocurrency sectors. Dubbed NimDoor, this advanced threat is written in the Nim programming language, a choice that complicates detection and analysis due to its unique code compilation process.
      Why Nim Language? A Game-Changer in Malware Development
      Unlike traditional programming languages, Nim compiles code in a way that blends runtime execution with the malware’s core logic, creating binaries that are harder for security tools to dissect. This technique effectively conceals malicious behavior, making reverse engineering a more difficult task.
      According to a recent report by SentinelLabs, NimDoor was initially detected during an April 2025 attack against a crypto startup. Since then, several cybersecurity companies have confirmed additional infections within the industry.
      How the Attack Unfolds: Social Engineering and Sophisticated Delivery
      SentinelLabs reveals that the attackers rely heavily on tried-and-true social engineering tactics to gain entry:
      Targets are approached via Telegram by impostor contacts.
      Victims are invited to schedule meetings through Calendly.
      Subsequently, they receive emails containing a Zoom meeting link and instructions to install a so-called “Zoom SDK update.”
      This Zoom update link actually leads to an AppleScript file hosted on domains mimicking official Zoom URLs. The script is padded with thousands of lines of whitespace to evade automated scans, ultimately fetching a secondary payload from attacker-controlled servers.
      Inside the Malware: Multi-Stage Payload with Persistence and Data Theft
      Once downloaded, NimDoor installs two Mach-O binaries into the system’s temporary folder:
      The first binary, crafted in C++, performs process injection to launch the trojan.
      The second, written in Nim and labeled as the installer, installs persistence mechanisms ensuring the malware remains active after reboots or termination attempts.
      The installer then drops two additional Nim-based components named GoogIe LLC and CoreKitAgent, which provide ongoing access and system surveillance capabilities.
      The malware also runs two scripts designed to exfiltrate data:
      The upl script collects login details and browsing histories from popular browsers such as Google Chrome and Firefox.
      The tlgrm script targets Telegram data specifically.
      All stolen information is compressed and sent to attacker-controlled servers disguised as secure upload portals.
      North Korea’s Expanding Cyber Toolset
      SentinelLabs points out that this isn’t the first time North Korean threat actors have leveraged less conventional programming languages to evade detection. Past campaigns included malware written in Go, Rust, and more recently, Crystal. Analysts anticipate increasing use of such uncommon languages as attackers seek to outpace conventional security measures.
      Context: Ongoing North Korean Crypto-Related Cybercrime
      This latest attack is part of a growing wave of cyber threats originating from North Korea. Earlier in 2025, hackers linked to a Lazarus Group subgroup targeted U.S. crypto developers with malware spread through fake companies like Blocknovas LLC and Softglide LLC—both shell organizations with fabricated addresses. The campaign used fraudulent job offers to distribute malware aimed at stealing crypto wallets and credentials.
      In response to escalating cyber risks, South Korea and the European Union agreed in May to enhance cooperation focused on combating North Korea’s cryptocurrency crimes. Officials emphasized the urgency of coordinated efforts amid a surge of cyberattacks.
      Alarming Figures: Cryptocurrency Theft Continues Unabated
      According to South Korean lawmaker Ha Tae-keung, North Korean hackers have stolen an additional $310 million in cryptocurrency from South Korean wallets since the infamous $2 billion heists documented by the United Nations in 2019. Meanwhile, blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis reported a staggering $1.3 billion in stolen crypto assets linked to North Korea in 2024 alone.
      Just days ago, the U.S. Department of Justice charged four North Korean nationals with stealing more than $900,000 by masquerading as remote IT workers at blockchain companies. The group exploited fake identities to alter smart contracts, facilitating thefts that allegedly fund North Korea’s weapons development programs.
      What Lies Ahead
      With cyber threats evolving rapidly and attackers adopting novel programming approaches like Nim, defending Web3 and crypto infrastructures demands heightened vigilance and innovation. The international community’s ability to coordinate across borders and sectors remains crucial to curbing these increasingly sophisticated attacks.

      A Few Words Regarding The Tor Project

      The Tor Project is an open-source project dedicated to providing online anonymity and privacy to users across the globe. The project's software, Tor, has been around for over two decades and is known for its strong security features.
      One of the main reasons why Tor is so secure is because it uses a technique called onion routing. Onion routing is a process by which a user's internet traffic is encrypted and then sent through multiple nodes (also known as relays) before reaching its final destination. Each node in the Tor network only knows the previous and next nodes in the chain, making it difficult for anyone to trace the traffic back to the user.
      However, the security of Tor extends beyond onion routing. Here are some of the ways in which Tor provides strong security:
      Encryption: Tor uses encryption to protect the privacy of user data as it travels through the network. When a user sends a message, Tor encrypts it multiple times, each time adding a layer of encryption (hence the term "onion routing"). This makes it incredibly difficult for anyone to intercept and decipher the message.
      Anonymous relays: The Tor network is made up of thousands of volunteer-operated relays located around the world. These relays are anonymous and do not know the identity of the user whose traffic they are forwarding. This anonymity makes it difficult for anyone to pinpoint the location or identity of the user.
      Hidden services: Tor also allows users to create hidden services, which are websites and services that can only be accessed through the Tor network. These services are hosted on anonymous servers and are often used by journalists, whistleblowers, and activists to share sensitive information without fear of retaliation.
      No logging: Tor does not keep logs of user activity, making it difficult for anyone to track a user's online behavior. This is important because many internet service providers and governments keep logs of user activity, which can be used to monitor and track users.
      Constant updates: The Tor Project is constantly updating the software to address security vulnerabilities and improve the user experience. The project has a large community of developers and volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure that Tor remains secure and up-to-date.
      Despite its strong security features, it is important to note that Tor is not foolproof. There have been instances where law enforcement agencies have been able to de-anonymize users on the Tor network. However, these instances are rare and typically require significant resources and expertise.
      In addition, Tor has been criticized for being used by criminals to carry out illegal activities. While it is true that some criminals have used Tor to carry out illicit activities, the vast majority of Tor users are law-abiding citizens who value their privacy and security.
      In conclusion, the Tor Project provides strong security features that make it a popular choice for users who value their privacy and anonymity. Its use of onion routing, anonymous relays, hidden services, and encryption make it incredibly difficult for anyone to intercept and decipher user traffic. While Tor is not foolproof, its strong security features and constant updates make it one of the most secure options available for online privacy and anonymity.

      League Of Legends Source Code Has Leaked

      In 2021, Riot Games, the developer of the popular online multiplayer game League of Legends (LoL), was hit by a major data breach that resulted in the leak of sensitive information belonging to millions of users. The breach, which was reportedly carried out by a hacking group known as ShinyHunters, underscores the ongoing threat of cyber attacks and the importance of protecting user data.
      The incident occurred on July 14, 2021, and involved the theft of a vast amount of data from Riot Games' databases. The stolen data included usernames, email addresses, salted password hashes, dates of birth, and some unencrypted security questions and answers. In addition, the hackers were able to gain access to other sensitive information, including government-issued IDs and social security numbers of some users.
      The hackers responsible for the breach claimed to have gained access to the Riot Games servers through a vulnerability in a third-party vendor that was used by the company. Riot Games has since stated that it has taken steps to address the vulnerability and improve its security measures to prevent future breaches.
      The impact of the data breach on LoL users has been significant. Many users have reported receiving phishing emails and attempts at identity theft following the incident. Additionally, some users have reported experiencing financial fraud, with hackers using their stolen information to make unauthorized purchases.
      The incident highlights the importance of strong cybersecurity practices, particularly for companies that store sensitive user data. As the threat of cyber attacks continues to grow, it is essential that companies take proactive measures to protect their data and systems from breaches. This includes implementing multi-factor authentication, regularly testing and patching systems, and investing in effective threat detection and response measures.
      At the same time, users must also take steps to protect their own data and privacy. This includes using strong and unique passwords, enabling two-factor authentication wherever possible, and avoiding the sharing of sensitive information online.
      In conclusion, the League of Legends data breach serves as a reminder of the ongoing threat of cyber attacks and the importance of strong cybersecurity measures. While the incident has had a significant impact on LoL users, it also serves as a wake-up call for companies and individuals to take the necessary steps to protect themselves from cyber threats. By prioritizing cybersecurity and taking proactive measures, we can help prevent future incidents and safeguard our data and privacy.

      Largest ddos attack in world history

      Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks have been a common method used by cybercriminals to disrupt online services by overwhelming servers with an enormous amount of traffic. These attacks have become increasingly sophisticated over time, resulting in the largest DDoS attacks that have been launched in recent years.
      In this article, we will take a look at the biggest DDoS attack in the world to date and examine the impact it had on the targeted website and the internet as a whole.
      The Attack
      The largest DDoS attack on record was launched against GitHub, a popular code hosting platform used by developers around the world, in February 2018. The attack peaked at 1.35 terabits per second (Tbps) and lasted for more than 20 minutes.
      The attack was initially detected by GitHub's automated systems, which alerted the company's security team. The team immediately began working to mitigate the attack, but it was so massive that it overwhelmed their defenses.
      The attackers used a technique called Memcached amplification, which involves exploiting misconfigured Memcached servers to amplify traffic and direct it towards the target. Memcached is a distributed memory caching system used to speed up websites and web applications. When misconfigured, it can be used to launch powerful DDoS attacks.

      DDOS Informations

      DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks have become an increasingly common and serious problem for online businesses and organizations. Such attacks can bring down websites, online services, and other critical infrastructure, causing significant damage to reputation, financial loss, and potentially putting sensitive data at risk. To prevent such attacks, there are many anti-DDoS technologies and services available on the market. In this article, we will explore some of the best anti-DDoS technologies that can help mitigate these attacks and keep your online services running smoothly.
      Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are one of the most widely used technologies to prevent DDoS attacks. CDNs work by distributing content across a network of servers in various locations, allowing users to access the content from a server that is geographically closer to them. This approach helps to reduce the risk of DDoS attacks by absorbing the traffic across multiple servers, making it more difficult for attackers to overwhelm a single server or network. Additionally, many CDNs have built-in DDoS protection services that can detect and block DDoS attacks in real-time.
      Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) are another popular anti-DDoS technology that can protect against various types of web-based attacks, including DDoS attacks. A WAF is a security tool that filters and monitors HTTP traffic between a web application and the Internet. WAFs can help protect against common DDoS attacks such as SYN floods and HTTP floods, as well as more complex application-layer attacks, by analyzing traffic and blocking malicious requests.
      Anycast Anycast is a network addressing and routing method that can be used to mitigate DDoS attacks by distributing traffic across multiple servers in different locations. Anycast works by routing traffic to the server that is geographically closest to the user, reducing the response time and providing a more reliable and efficient service. Anycast can also help to prevent DDoS attacks by absorbing traffic across multiple servers, making it more difficult for attackers to target a specific server or network.
      Anti-DDoS Services Many service providers offer anti-DDoS services that can help protect online services against DDoS attacks. These services typically use a combination of DDoS detection and mitigation technologies to protect against attacks in real-time. Some of the most popular anti-DDoS services include Akamai, Cloudflare, and Incapsula. These services provide a variety of features, including network and application-layer DDoS protection, web application firewalls, and content delivery networks.
      Traffic Shaping and Rate Limiting Traffic shaping and rate limiting are two other technologies that can be used to prevent DDoS attacks. These methods involve controlling the flow of traffic to a network or server by limiting the number of connections or requests that can be made within a specified time frame. This can help to prevent DDoS attacks by limiting the amount of traffic that can be directed at a server or network.
      In conclusion, there are many anti-DDoS technologies and services available that can help mitigate the risk of DDoS attacks. By combining several of these technologies, such as CDNs, WAFs, Anycast, anti-DDoS services, and traffic shaping, businesses and organizations can create a comprehensive and effective DDoS protection strategy to keep their online services running smoothly and securely.

      Zippyshare Will Be Close After 17 Years

      Zippyshare was a popular file hosting service that gained immense popularity for its fast and easy-to-use platform. However, the website was shut down in 2020 due to legal issues, leaving many users stranded without access to their files. In this article, we will take a deep dive into the closed Zippyshare project, exploring the reasons behind its shutdown, and the impact it has had on its users.
      Zippyshare was launched in 2006 and quickly became one of the most popular file hosting services on the internet. The platform was free to use, and users could upload and share files with ease. Zippyshare's popularity was fueled by its fast download speeds, which made it a favorite among users who needed to share large files quickly.
      However, despite its popularity, Zippyshare faced numerous legal challenges over the years. The platform was frequently used to share copyrighted material, including movies, music, and software. This led to legal action against the website, with several record labels and movie studios filing lawsuits against Zippyshare for copyright infringement.
      In response to these legal challenges, Zippyshare implemented various measures to prevent the sharing of copyrighted material. However, these measures were not enough to satisfy the copyright holders, and in 2020, the website was shut down.
      The shutdown of Zippyshare has had a significant impact on its users. Many users relied on the platform to share files with friends, family, and colleagues, and the sudden closure of the website left them without access to their files. Some users lost important documents, photos, and other files, which they had stored on the platform.
      The shutdown of Zippyshare has also had an impact on the wider file hosting industry. The closure of such a popular and well-established platform has raised concerns among users about the stability and longevity of other file hosting services. Many users have turned to alternative platforms, such as Google Drive and Dropbox, but these platforms have their own limitations, such as storage limits and slower download speeds.
      In conclusion, the closure of Zippyshare was a significant blow to the file hosting industry and its users. While the platform faced numerous legal challenges over the years, its sudden shutdown has left many users stranded without access to their files. The closure of Zippyshare highlights the challenges facing file hosting services, particularly those that allow the sharing of copyrighted material. As users continue to rely on these platforms for sharing and storing files, it is essential that they are properly regulated to prevent copyright infringement and ensure the long-term viability of the industry.
       
      Furthermore, the closure of Zippyshare has also highlighted the importance of backing up important files.

      Another lesson that can be learned from the closure of Zippyshare is the importance of respecting intellectual property rights. While it may be tempting to share copyrighted material, it is important to understand that doing so is illegal and can have serious consequences. By respecting intellectual property rights, we can help ensure that creative works are properly protected and that artists and creators are fairly compensated for their work.
      Overall, the closure of Zippyshare has had a significant impact on the file hosting industry and its users. While the platform may have had its flaws, it provided a valuable service to millions of users around the world. The lessons that can be learned from the closure of Zippyshare are many, including the importance of backing up important files, respecting intellectual property rights, and properly regulating file hosting services to prevent copyright infringement.
      As we move forward, it is essential that we continue to support and promote innovative and sustainable file hosting services that provide value to users while respecting the rights of artists and creators. The closure of Zippyshare has reminded us of the challenges facing the industry and the need for continued innovation and responsible practices to ensure its long-term viability.

      Solana(SOL) VS Tron(TRX)

      Why Tron is Better Than Solana
      As the world of blockchain technology continues to evolve, two popular platforms have emerged as top contenders for dominance: Tron (TRX) and Solana (SOL). While both have their strengths and weaknesses, I'm here to argue that Tron is the superior choice. In this article, we'll delve into the reasons why Tron stands out from the crowd and why it's the better option for developers, users, and investors alike.
      Scalability
      One of the primary concerns for blockchain platforms is scalability. As the demand for decentralized applications grows, platforms must be able to handle increased traffic and transaction volumes. Tron has made significant strides in this area, boasting a block time of 3 seconds and a maximum block size of 2MB. This means that Tron can process a higher number of transactions per second compared to Solana, which has a block time of 400ms and a maximum block size of 250KB.
      While Solana's faster block time may seem impressive, it's essential to consider the trade-offs. Tron's more robust architecture allows for greater flexibility and customization, making it a more attractive option for developers who need to build complex applications.
      Transaction Fees
      Another critical aspect of blockchain platforms is transaction fees. Tron has a relatively low transaction fee structure, with an average fee of around $0.0001 per transaction. This makes it an attractive option for users who want to send and receive transactions without breaking the bank.
      Solana, on the other hand, has a much higher transaction fee structure, with fees ranging from $0.01 to $0.10 per transaction. While these fees may seem minimal, they can add up quickly for users who make frequent transactions.
      Ecosystem
      The ecosystem surrounding a blockchain platform is crucial for its success. Tron has a thriving community of developers, users, and partners, with over 1 million active wallets and a growing list of decentralized applications (dApps).
      Solana, while having a smaller but still dedicated community, lags behind Tron in terms of overall ecosystem development. This lack of momentum can make it more challenging for developers to build and scale applications on Solana.
      Smart Contract Platform
      Tron is a fully-fledged smart contract platform, allowing developers to create complex decentralized applications using its own programming language, Solidity. This means that developers can build sophisticated applications that interact with the blockchain in a seamless manner.
      Solana, while also offering smart contract functionality, has limited support for complex contracts and lacks the robustness of Tron's platform.
      Innovation
      Finally, Tron has been at the forefront of innovation in the blockchain space. The platform has introduced several groundbreaking features, including its decentralized file storage system (TRX File), decentralized content creation platform (TRON Video), and even a decentralized governance system (TRON DAO).
      Solana, while showing promise in its early stages, has yet to match Tron's level of innovation and disruption in the industry.
      Conclusion
      In conclusion, while Solana has made significant strides in recent years, Tron remains the superior choice for developers, users, and investors alike. With its robust architecture, low transaction fees, thriving ecosystem, smart contract capabilities, and innovative spirit, Tron is poised to continue leading the charge in the world of blockchain technology.
      So, if you're looking for a reliable and scalable platform that offers unparalleled flexibility and customization options, look no further than Tron.

      Crypto.com Under Fire: Accusations of CRO Token Supply Manipulation

      Recently, Crypto.com has been thrust into the spotlight of controversy after an alleged reversal of a substantial token burn process involving 70 billion Cronos (CRO) tokens that were initially declared permanently destroyed in 2021. This move has drawn sharp criticism from the crypto community, who argue that it compromises the foundational principles of decentralization and transparency within the cryptocurrency sector.
      The uproar began on March 25 when on-chain investigator ZachXBT took to X to accuse Crypto.com of reintroducing tokens that were previously removed from circulation. He stated, “CRO is no different from a scam,” expressing concerns that this reissuance accounted for 70% of the overall token supply and diverged from the expectations of the community. In his post, he contended, “Your team just reissued 70B CRO a week ago that was previously burned ‘forever’ in 2021, going against the wishes of the community because you control the majority of the supply.”
      This decision to reissue the tokens appeared to coincide with reports regarding a non-binding partnership between Trump Media and Crypto.com aimed at launching U.S. crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) via Crypto.com’s broker-dealer, Foris Capital US. ZachXBT expressed bafflement over why Truth Media would prefer collaborating with Crypto.com instead of other established exchanges like Coinbase, Kraken, or Gemini given the recent developments.
      Suddenly increasing the circulating supply of tokens can lead to a dilution of value for existing coins, often triggering a decline in prices driven by the mechanics of supply and demand.
      CEO's Justification Amidst Backlash
      In light of the growing criticism, Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek defended the company's actions. He explained that the decision was essential for fostering investment growth in light of the evolving political landscape in the United States. During a March 25 AMA on X, he remarked, “Cronos and Crypto.com have been operating independently for years. The initial token burn in Q1 2021 was a defensive maneuver. At that time, it was justifiable. Now, with strong support from the new administration, the war on crypto has concluded [...] We need an aggressive investment approach to succeed.” He added, “This is what the community desires; we should be thinking in terms of dollars, not cents.”
      Worries About Governance and Decentralization
      Beyond the immediate financial implications, critics have raised alarms regarding potential manipulation of the governance process that facilitated the CRO reissuance. Reports from March 19 indicated that Crypto.com’s validators wield approximately 70% of the voting power on the blockchain, raising concerns that they can effectively nullify community votes.
      As per sources cited by Laura Shin in Unchained, it is claimed that Crypto.com controls between 70% and 80% of the total voting power, effectively diminishing the necessity for any genuine governance voting.
      In response to the ongoing controversy surrounding the return of 70 billion CRO tokens, Marszalek took to X on March 19 to assure the public of the firm’s financial stability and regulatory standing.

      Overall, Crypto.com had initially announced the 70-billion-token burn in a now-deleted blog post from February 2021, characterizing it as the "largest token burn in history," with the intent of achieving complete decentralization at the time of the CRO mainnet launch. The blog emphasized, “In alignment with our vision, and with the CRO chain’s mainnet launch approaching, we are fully decentralizing the chain network,” proclaiming the immediate destruction of 59.6 billion tokens.

      💳 Barclays Bans Crypto Purchases via Credit Cards Starting Last Friday – What It Means for UK Users

      Please Register !

      In a surprising yet calculated move, Barclays has announced that starting Friday, it will block all cryptocurrency-related transactions made through its Barclaycard credit cards. This decision is making waves across the UK, as discussions heat up on whether buying crypto with credit cards should be allowed at all.

      Please Register !

      Why Is Barclays Blocking Crypto Transactions?
      According to official information from Barclays’ website, the bank is concerned about the extreme price volatility of cryptocurrencies and the lack of regulatory protection for users. In a public statement, Barclays explained:

      Credit Card Crypto Transactions = Higher Fees?
      It’s worth noting that purchasing cryptocurrency with a credit card often involves hidden costs. As reported by Bankrate, many credit card companies classify such transactions as cash advances, resulting in:
      Higher interest rates
      Immediate transaction fees
      No grace period for repayment
      These financial penalties only add to the risk profile Barclays and regulators are concerned about.

      Please Register !

      Final Thoughts
      Barclays’ decision is a major turning point in the UK’s evolving stance on crypto accessibility. While some see it as a necessary step to protect consumers from risky debt, others argue it’s a step backward for financial freedom.
      This development could be a precursor to broader restrictions, especially if the FCA decides to move forward with tighter regulations in the coming months.

      Bitpanda & Deutsche Bank Launch Real-Time Cryptocurrency Payments

      The demand for fast and secure financial transactions, including cryptocurrency transactions, is growing. Deutsche Bank has recognized this trend and has formed a strategic partnership with Bitpanda, a platform that enables users to buy, sell, and trade cryptocurrencies. This partnership aims to significantly improve the process of exchanging digital currencies, combining the solidity of traditional banking with the innovative technology of Bitpanda.
      Integration for Safety and Speed
      This partnership will provide users with access to international bank accounts (IBAN) in Germany, enabling them to make real-time transactions. This solution will not only provide convenience but also ensure the safety of international transfers. Deposits and withdrawals made through the Bitpanda platform will now be processed by Deutsche Bank, ensuring the speed and effectiveness of settlements.
      Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad, Bitpanda's Deputy CEO, emphasized that trust and security are key values that underpin this partnership. He stated: "Trust cannot be bought, it must be earned. Our focus on compliance, security, and trust over the last decade has allowed us to develop partnerships with prestigious institutions like Deutsche Bank."
      This partnership is not only a benefit for Bitpanda's users but also a significant step for the entire cryptocurrency sector. Banks that have previously approached cryptocurrencies with caution are now more boldly entering the market, offering their services. This is possible due to the MiCA regulations, which aim to clarify the situation on the European financial market.
      Modernization and Innovation in Banking
      Banks are also changing, recognizing the need to incorporate tokenization and cryptocurrency technologies as new asset classes. "European banks are increasingly interested in cryptocurrencies because MiCA regulations clearly define the framework for such operations," added Enzersdorfer-Konrad.
      This partnership demonstrates how traditional financial institutions can work together with modern technologies to provide innovative and secure solutions that meet the needs of the modern financial market.
