☠️ Manta Network co-founder Kenny Li nearly fell victim to a Lazarus attack (source):

🔴 Li shared that a known contact reached out to him via Telegram to arrange a Zoom call.

🔴 During the call, the participants’ cameras were on, and he could see familiar faces from his team — everything looked very convincing.

🔴 However, there was no sound. A message appeared saying that Zoom needed an update, asking him to download a script file.

🔴 Li became suspicious, refused to download the file, left the call, and asked the contact to verify their identity via a Telegram call.

🔴 After the request, the attackers deleted the chat and blocked him.

Li believes the North Korean Lazarus group was behind the attack.

🪙 Vitalik Buterin proposed a radical upgrade to the Ethereum Virtual Machine — transitioning to the RISC-V architecture. According to him, this could be the key to significantly improving the network’s execution efficiency.

The transition would help address L1 scaling issues, increase miner competition, and enhance support for ZK-EVM, while maintaining compatibility with existing smart contracts — developers would continue coding in Solidity and Vyper.

Well-known venture investor Adam Cochran acknowledged the potential benefits for the main network but questioned the priorities, noting that the transition costs could be too high and the advantages for L2 might be limited.

🔴 Advanced tech: Criminals are using AI, deepfakes, encryption, and DeFi protocols for phishing, anonymity, and bypassing KYC requirements.

🔴 Huione Guarantee: A Cambodia-based crypto platform linked to the ruling elite has laundered over $24 billion since 2021, offering services tailored to fraudsters.

🔴 International investigations: U.S. and Chinese authorities uncovered a $50 million laundering scheme tied to drug trafficking. In Vietnam, a group handling over $1.1 billion in USDT was shut down. In Libya, 50 Chinese nationals were arrested for illegal mining using stolen electricity.
