They have dangerous malware my friend. It's not safe as far as I heard. I think safety is something that really matters in the world of cryptocurrency or any exchange platform. It's really a big deal that you should search more about it.

Interesting information that tells us that we must always be vigilant, since by visiting malicious sites we can embed some types of software in our devices that monitor our activities, stealing our passwords and secret keys to steal our assets. What is recommended to keep ourselves safe is to use hardware wallets such as Trezor or Ledger, or, failing that, desktop wallets where the backups of our passwords and secret keys are backed up on paper and not on our devices to prevent access to them through of the network.

There are countless malware we have seen in crypto, and millions that can infect our system. We have to be aware of each one and of course this one may look like a trading algorythm but we can't dowload anything we see, we need to be more strict and do research without making big mistakes.

We keep reading these reports, although nothing is certain. If north korean hackers were this capable, maybe they would have already stolen a lot more. Perhaps some accusations are fake against them. This malware threat is real anyway and no matter where the stolen crypto go, it is a big threat to crypto traders.

Security researchers have discovered a new
cryptocurrency -related macOS malware believed to be the product of North Korean hackers at the Lazarus Group.
As tech-focused publication Bleeping Computer
reported on Dec. 4, malware researcher Dinesh Devadoss encountered a malicious software on a website called “unioncrypto.vip,” that advertised a “smart cryptocurrency arbitrage trading platform.” The website did not cite any download links, but hosted a malware package under the name “UnionCryptoTrader.”

@Cgogogo

Dear, there are many malicious programs where there are fake websites for harm. For that, we have to protect our devices from these programs and pay close attention. We have to research well, learn and consult before starting to download applications or those programs in order to protect our devices. Happy day

The lazarus group is notorious. These guys might have hacked more than a billion USD in crypto so far. They have the means and since they are from North Korea there is immunity as this is possibly coming with government aid. Still they are very famous and highly skilled. I don't think there are better able hackers from them. This tool here is good to know as many may try to find trade bots to help them with the strategies. There should always be a lot of research when using these tools.

Security should be a step ahead of anything one can think of why because anywhere a security is not strong it will be tempered with and it will be the end of the crypto which is a bad idea from scammers,  hackers and cheaters may our lord protect us from them.

The first thing is that I did not understand your information correctly. After that, those who have done all this work might want to separate Windows and macOS from each other. When the whole world of technology is facing towards digital currency, then everyone makes new currency and puts new features in it, all the people which move towards us.

I do not think that this statement is accurate, or the source speaks with credibility, because through experiments, we did not find anyone who has submitted a complaint about the encrypted transactions or even published anything that proves the validity of this article.

Thank you for alerting us about this new malware, though it affects only Mac users only. New malware's are being spread out everyday to all computing devices. So it is wise to be always alert.

This is very bad and I hope you will provide us with more information about this site or the impact of this malware on our wallets. In any case, we must stay away from all untrusted sites because it may cause great problems for us.

And the internet is full of hackers wanting to get our money, so we must be careful when operating and managing our cryptocurrency accounts, I recently saw a very good trading tutorial on YouTube, the friend who explained how to do it, mentioned that security It is important and gave suggestions how to use a secure paid VPN, which allows you to hide your IP, in addition to creating difficult passwords and having them well saved, I speak of a program to generate passwords, avoid saving your passwords automatically and other suggestions, let's take care of our money.

We are all afraid, since the most dangerous thing in the market and in the world of cryptocurrencies is not a bad investment, it is to run into a hacker by bad luck, these people are professional hackers and with the sole intention of stealing our last penny in cryptocurrencies, these create viruses to steal and platforms with a lot of interface quality, to rob everyone. This is the worst thing that can happen to us and we have to protect ourselves as much as we can.

    • CryptoNews of the Week     – On Monday, 24th June, for the first time since 3rd May, the price of bitcoin fell below $60,000, reaching $58,468 at one point. Ethereum, meanwhile, dropped below $3,250. “The market is struggling to digest large sales,” Bloomberg quoted Caroline Mauron, head of Orbit Markets. Although it is difficult to pinpoint the exact source of the current selling pressure, several contributing factors can be identified. The issues in the crypto market reflect the overall instability in global financial markets and uncertainty regarding monetary and regulatory policies in several leading countries, particularly China and the USA. Moreover, in mid-June, the German government began selling a large quantity of bitcoin (approximately 50,000 BTC) that was confiscated in January. Bearish sentiments intensified following reports of imminent payments of about 140,000 BTC to creditors of the bankrupt crypto exchange Mt. Gox, which are set to begin in July. Popular trader Bob Loukas believes that in anticipation of this event, the flagship crypto asset’s prices reached their lowest level in the last eight weeks yesterday. Additionally, it became known that bitcoin miners' reserves reached a 14-year low as they were forced to sell a significant amount of coins to cover operational expenses due to the halving.   – In the absence of positive signals, the demand for spot bitcoin ETFs continues to decline, with major market participants slowing their activity in the derivatives market, further creating downward pressure. According to 10x Research, throughout the past week, US spot BTC-ETFs recorded investor outflows, with net outflows exceeding $105 million on 21st June. Earlier, Ki Young Ju, CEO of the investment company CryptoQuant, calculated that over the past two weeks, bitcoin whales and miners reduced their positions on over-the-counter platforms by $1.2 billion. 10x Research analysts believe that bitcoin will now need to find a new price range to stabilize the fall and then look for growth catalysts. In the medium term, according to 10x Research analysts, BTC is unlikely to return above $70,000.  It should be noted that according to JPMorgan analysts, the cost of bitcoin mining is $53,000. This support could become the lower boundary of the price range. However, back in March, JPMorgan did not rule out that after the April halving, bitcoin might temporarily drop to even $42,000.   – Popular analyst Matthew Hyland noted that the total balance of bitcoin on centralized exchanges has reached a multi-year low. In theory, this could be seen as a bullish signal, but the flagship of the crypto market is not yet showing upward momentum. It is expected that the publication of key US economic data in the coming week could serve as a vector for the further movement of cryptocurrencies. If macro statistics increase the likelihood of the Fed starting to ease monetary policy and the first interest rate cut as early as September, this could support risky assets, including bitcoin. Experts from Cryptology believe that the chances of bitcoin hitting an all-time high by the end of September are quite high and that the current situation is a phase of accumulation.   – Andrew Kang, co-founder of the venture company Mechanism Capital, stated that Ethereum’s price could correct by 30%, falling to $2,400 after spot ETFs for ETH are approved. In his opinion, at this stage, the main altcoin attracts much less attention from institutional investors compared to bitcoin. Based on this, ETH-ETFs will be able to attract only 15% of the funds compared to what BTC-ETFs received at launch. Kang noted that to increase Ethereum's attractiveness to investors, its ecosystem needs to be positioned as a decentralized financial settlement layer, a global computer, or a Web3 application store. At the same time, selling funds on new uses for Ethereum will be difficult since the asset is perceived by investors as an overvalued stock of one large tech company.   – Unlike Andrew Kang, SkyBridge Capital CEO Anthony Scaramucci believes that Ethereum's price could reach $10,000-12,000. As for bitcoin, the entrepreneur anticipates it could grow to $170,000-250,000. The main driver here will be the institutional adoption of cryptocurrency. Scaramucci called the approval of spot exchange-traded ETFs a significant regulatory barrier breakthrough for attracting new capital. According to him, this will soon result in digital gold comprising about 3% of large players’ portfolios.   – Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has been listed among American brands most often impersonated by scammers to deceive their victims. According to analysts at Mailsuite, from January 2020 to March 2024, the Coinbase brand was used in 416 scam schemes and phishing attacks.  Mailsuite studied 1.14 million incidents in total, in which scammers impersonated a well-known company or organisation more than 249,000 times. Among traditional firms, Facebook/Meta was the most popular American brand among scammers, mentioned in 10,457 recorded fraud cases. Next were the US Internal Revenue Service (9,762 incidents), Apple (9,110), Amazon (8,919), Steam (4,833), and Microsoft (4,518). Internationally, scammers prefer Japanese firms, with mobile operator au (18,964 cases) and railway company JR East (18,250) leading the list.   – The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has issued a warning about fake law firms promising to recover lost crypto assets from scammers or government agencies.  Scammers pose as authorised lawyers from government departments, including the FBI, and offer assistance in recovering previously lost or confiscated digital assets. The FBI recommended being wary of such service advertisements, especially when pseudo-lawyers demand advance payments and request sensitive financial information and personal data.   – Former Goldman Sachs CEO Raoul Pal predicted significant growth for bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market in Q4 2024. Speaking on the podcast "The Wolf Of All Streets," the financier noted that risky assets like bitcoin usually rally during US presidential elections. "The final quarter of an election year is a real ‘banana zone’ for all assets. It’s always like that," Pal optimistically stated, adding that the ‘banana zone’ for cryptocurrencies in the autumn is much more pronounced than, for example, for the Nasdaq index.   – MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor is convinced of the potential for the first cryptocurrency to grow to $10 million, supported by China and other factors.  He believes that in the future, governments, especially China, will fully accept the first cryptocurrency and integrate it into state infrastructure.  Calling bitcoin a "perfect asset," the entrepreneur explained that digital gold acts as a "corporate machine" that will allow companies to "live forever." He is confident that firms investing in bitcoin can last longer than those "mired in corporate ailments of the past." "The average lifespan of a corporation is about 10 years. […] We’re talking about eliminating corporate mortality; we’re talking about easily increasing economic viability by ten, a hundred, or maybe a million times," added the MicroStrategy founder. Saylor also called all economic tools that appeared before bitcoin outdated. "Before Satoshi Nakamoto, economics was a pseudo-science. All economists before Satoshi tried to develop economic laws using shells, glass beads, bits of paper, and credit instruments," the businessman emphasized.  Recall that MicroStrategy is one of the world's largest holders of bitcoin. In June 2024 alone, it purchased 11,931 BTC.   – Founder and CEO of tech giant Dell Group Michael Dell expressed interest in bitcoin in correspondence with Michael Saylor. The situation has caused a stir in the cryptocurrency community for several reasons. Dell was among the top 10 richest people in the world in 1999 and 2000. He periodically appeared in the top 20 afterward. At the same time, the entrepreneur himself has positively commented on the digital industry. In 2021, he publicly stated that blockchain technology is highly undervalued. His company, Dell Technologies, accepted bitcoin as a payment method from 2014 to 2017. However, this option was later removed due to "low demand," as explained by the company. Now, the billionaire posted a statement on his page regarding the value of bitcoin and published another note on this topic.   – Ahead of the US presidential election, former cryptocurrency advisor Carole House has returned to work with Joe Biden’s team. "It is an honour for me to return to the Biden administration, where I hold the position of special advisor on the White House National Security Council," House wrote on her LinkedIn. In 2022, Carole House co-authored Biden’s executive order on cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Her return to the White House signals an improvement in the US president’s attitude towards cryptocurrencies.   – Matt Hougan, CIO of Bitwise, which manages cryptocurrency funds, cited three reasons why long-term investments in both bitcoin and ethereum have advantages over investments in bitcoin alone. These are: 1. portfolio diversification, 2. the ability to profit from vastly different ecosystems, and 3. economic benefits.  Given the difference in capitalization levels between bitcoin and ethereum, Matt suggests investing 75% of capital in BTC and 25% in ETH. According to the report, from May 2020 to May 2024, the return on such an investment portfolio was 3% higher annually than one in which bitcoin alone accounts for 100%.  However, Hougan acknowledges that in the short term, a portfolio consisting solely of bitcoin outperforms a diversified one. Additionally, investing solely in bitcoin carries less risk due to its higher market capitalization and features such as limited coin issuance and gradual reduction of inflation to zero.

    • 🔝Bernstein о перспективах биткоина🔝 Эксперты Bernstein пересмотрели прогноз стоимости bitcoin, ожидая увеличения до $200 тысяч к завершению следующего года и до $1 миллиона через десять лет. Основной причиной будет увеличение востребованности bitcoin-ETF. Специалисты сообщают, что вложения в биткоин-ETF к следующему году достигнут $190 млрд. Bernstein также прогнозирует, что капитализация криптовалют утроится и составит $7,5 триллионов. Они ожидают, что биткоин достигнет капитализации $3 трлн, Ethereum — $1,8 трлн, а суммарная стоимость Solana и Avax — $1,4 трлн. Этот рост будет вызван институциональным внедрением и развитием экосистем.
