- Eight compromised security certificates exposed website authentication risks
- AI-powered hackers targeted 1,200+ websites and breached over 100 companies

INTEL: A Circle shareholder is suing Trump over World Liberty's $500M UAE stake sale and $2B Binance deal | per Bloomberg

The suit alleges Trump violated the Foreign Emoluments Clause through two UAE-linked deals. One is the $500M sale of a 49% stake in World Liberty. The other is a $2B Binance investment funded with its USD1 stablecoin. The plaintiff says the deals hurt Circle investors through unfair competition and wants illegal profits returned plus damages.
Circle says it was not involved. World Liberty denies the allegations. The WSJ previously reported the stake sale sent about $187M to Trump family entities, and House investigators are already probing the deals.
