πŸ” Mark Karpeles posted video, where he shows how to carefully disassemble a Ledger Nano X and check it for a spy implant.

🚬 The first Ledger Stax with a spy implant has been discovered β€” the case has already been confirmed by Mark KarpelΓ¨s.

πŸͺ™ US Department of Justice is again scrutinizing Binance β€” this time checking whether the exchange complies with the terms of the 2023 deal and whether flows related to Iranian oil and sanctioned entities passed through it.

πŸ”’ CZ shared recommendations for storing crypto assets, key points:

πŸ”΅ There is no absolute security β€” it's important to protect yourself from both theft and loss of access.
πŸ”΅ You need to allocate a separate device for crypto and install a minimum of applications.
πŸ”΅ Backup copies of keys must be stored separately.
πŸ”΅ Use a separate email for each exchange, a unique password, and hardware two-factor authentication. Avoid protection and access recovery via SMS.
πŸ”΅ Enable a whitelist of withdrawal addresses. Do not transfer API keys to third-party platforms and disable withdrawals via API.
πŸ”΅ Do not consider a hardware wallet invulnerable (hello Ledger).
πŸ”΅ It's worth considering in advance the transfer of crypto assets to heirs β€” without premature disclosure of keys.

For now, this is just an amendment to the 2027 budget β€” the committee supported it, but before it becomes law, it still needs to pass through parliament.

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί Europol unexpectedly gave StarkWare free PR β€” in a report on quantum threats, the agency specifically highlighted Account Abstraction and ZK-STARK as tools for protecting crypto wallets.
