Is it just my impression, or is functional illiteracy becoming increasingly evident in Brazil? The person accuses me of spreading fake news. I present official sources, investigations, and verifiable blockchain transactions. And his argument? None. 😂 The problem is when someone is so entrenched in their own beliefs that they’d rather deny evidence than admit they might be wrong. Stupidity has no ideology. 😂
A developer, with the help of Claude Code, discovered a hidden cryptocurrency miner on their Mac. The XMRig process was heavily consuming the CPU and raising the computer’s temperature to 112°C. Mt. Gox, the exchange that collapsed over a decade ago, has once again delayed its final deadline for completing creditor payments. The new date is October 31, 2027—one year after the previous deadline. In digital security, SlowMist warned about DarkSword, malware capable of exploiting vulnerabilities in specific versions of iOS 18 through malicious pages opened in Safari. The threat can compromise information from cryptocurrency wallet apps, including sensitive data. Keeping the system updated is a crucial protective measure. In the UK, Microsoft abandoned an artificial intelligence data center project in Essex due to power supply challenges. The required energy infrastructure may not be available until the 2030s, highlighting one of the physical barriers to AI expansion. In the financial sector, JPMorgan announced the expansion of JPM Coin to Ethereum. The token represents U.S. dollar deposits and enables second-long transfers available 24/7, though the service is targeted exclusively at institutional clients. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has once again surpassed $82,000 during the market recovery. The move coincided with a decline in Brent crude oil prices after they had exceeded $110 per barrel the previous week, offering some relief from inflation concerns. Prices reflect the time of reporting, not permanent valuations. Sources: Tom’s Hardware, CryptoSlate, SlowMist, The Guardian, CoinDesk, Portal do Bitcoin, and Unchained.
🚨 Amazon, Google, Ledger, Russia, Bitcoin, Mastercard, and Visa dominated technology and cryptocurrency news this Thursday (15). Amazon unveiled two AI-powered Bee devices designed to record conversations, organize information, and help users remember appointments and topics discussed during the day. Google announced a technique capable of reducing quantum computing errors by 40 times—a significant advancement for the development of this technology. Ledger revealed the Atom, an $849 device combining cryptocurrency wallet functionality with Android apps. The project includes physical security features and is scheduled for delivery in 2027. The device is not intended to replace conventional smartphones. 🇷🇺 In Russia, regulated transfers of crypto accounts to self-custody wallets are now prohibited. An additional restriction on direct peer-to-peer transactions is set for July 2027. 📉 Strategy faces another risk: a proposal by MSCI could exclude companies with large cryptocurrency reserves from global indices. According to JPMorgan’s estimate, this could trigger $2.8 billion in Strategy stock sales. The change is not yet final. The market also reacted to U.S. inflation data: the Producer Price Index rose 1.3% in September, above expectations. Bitcoin reached $79,730, while crypto liquidations neared $1 billion. Later, BTC recovered to the $82,000 range. 💳 In payments, two distinct developments: Mastercard and BVNK announced a platform connecting stablecoins, bank accounts, and cards, with card issuance planned in over 130 countries. Meanwhile, Visa and Inyo have launched a commercial system allowing eligible businesses to use USDC to fund international payments 24/7. Both moves demonstrate the growing integration of stablecoins into traditional financial infrastructure, though they target different audiences, models, and implementation stages.

🚨 Unfortunately, reports of tampered Ledgers continue to rise. New suspicious cases involving MediaMarkt in Europe have now emerged. I’d like to commend @Darkfost_Coc for their excellent investigative work, tracking these cases and updating the list of potentially compromised retailers. While many are still seeking answers, independent investigators are helping the community understand the risks. 👏 Crucial work! ⚠️ Being on the list does not mean the retailer is compromised.

🚨 SAVING YOU TIME 🔴 XRP: A potential flaw existing since 2015 could have allowed the creation of XRP beyond the intended supply of 100 billion. It was patched in September, with public disclosure on October 9. No evidence of public exploitation has been identified. 🔥 STARKNET: The network is considering transitioning from an Ethereum L2 to an independent Layer 1. STRK rose approximately 30% on the news. The change has not yet been implemented. 🛡️ TRON: Post-quantum cryptography is now active on the Nile testnet, according to an announcement by Justin Sun. It has not yet been deployed on the mainnet. ⚠️ For traders: XRP is a fixed vulnerability, Starknet is a proposal, and Tron is a tested advancement. Three distinct situations. Don’t confuse expectation with implementation.
