🚨 $129M USDT Lost in a Dusting Attack

A user became a victim of a dusting attack where scammers created a wallet address that looked nearly identical to one used in the past, matching the first and last characters. The user unknowingly sent funds to the scam address, losing $129M USDT.

🕵️‍♂️ New Theory About Satoshi Nakamoto

A fresh theory has emerged about Bitcoin's mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Researchers suggest that Satoshi may still be actively using their original wallets. These wallets, created in 2010, contain 50 BTC each and have seen periodic significant transactions since 2019.

This consistent selling activity points to a potential strategy aimed at preserving privacy.
