Odaily Planet Daily News BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes recently wrote that the U.S. Treasury Department's support for the issuance of stablecoins by large banks in TBTF is one of its key policies to deal with huge fiscal deficits and national debt pressures. He believes that this will release up to $6.8 trillion in purchasing power for short-term Treasury bonds (T-bills) and drive financial markets up. At the same time, if the Fed stops paying interest on bank reserves (IORB), it will also release an additional $3.3 trillion in funds into the Treasury market. Arthur Hayes said that although this policy combination is not quantitative easing (QE) in the traditional sense, it will have the same upward momentum for fixed supply assets such as Bitcoin. He predicts that after the passage of Trump's spending bill and the increase in the debt ceiling, the U.S. Treasury will issue bonds to supplement the Treasury Account (TGA), which may suppress market liquidity in the short term, and Bitcoin may consolidate around $100,000, with a pullback low of $90,000 to $95,000. But after liquidity is restored in early September, a new round of increases will begin. Arthur Hayes concluded that the real stablecoin narrative does not lie in FinTech companies, but in the "financial weaponization innovation" of TBTF banks using stablecoins to reconstruct compliance, costs, and the purchasing power of treasury bonds. He advised investors to "go long on Bitcoin and JPMorgan Chase" and embrace this new liquidity cycle led by the Treasury.

According to Cointelegraph, the U.S. Justice Department has initiated an investigation into a former ransomware negotiator accused of making deals with hackers to receive a portion of the cryptocurrency used in extortion payments. DigitalMint, a Chicago-based company specializing in ransomware negotiations, confirmed that one of its former employees is under criminal investigation and was terminated immediately upon the discovery of the allegations. DigitalMint President Marc Grens stated that the investigation pertains to alleged unauthorized actions by the employee during their tenure at the company. DigitalMint, which assists victims in negotiating and making payments to hackers, is not a target of the investigation. Grens emphasized that the company has been cooperating fully with law enforcement and took swift action to protect its clients once the allegations surfaced. He noted that trust is a daily commitment and that the company promptly communicated the facts to affected stakeholders. DigitalMint, registered with the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, serves a client base that includes Fortune 500 companies and specializes in securely handling ransomware incidents. Recent data indicates a decline in ransomware payments, with a report from cyber incident response firm Coveware revealing that only 25% of companies targeted by extortion demands in the last quarter of 2024 paid the ransom. This marks a decrease from 32% in the third quarter of 2024 and 36% in the previous quarter. The trend suggests that more organizations are enhancing their cybersecurity measures, implementing better backup and recovery strategies, and resisting funding cybercriminals. Coveware also attributed the decline to increased law enforcement efforts and stronger regulatory guidance discouraging ransom payments. In a related development, the U.S. Treasury recently sanctioned Russia-based Aeza Group, its leadership, and a connected cryptocurrency wallet for allegedly hosting ransomware and information-stealing operations. Additionally, a report by blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis found that ransomware payments decreased by 35% to $815 million in 2024, down from $1.25 billion in 2023. Meanwhile, James Taliento, CEO of cyber intelligence services company AFTRDRK, highlighted concerns about ransomware negotiators not always acting in their clients' best interests, as they may be incentivized by the size of the ransom paid. A 2019 report by ProPublica also uncovered instances of U.S. firms paying hackers to retrieve stolen data and charging clients extra under the pretense of using specialized recovery methods.

According to Cointelegraph, North Korean hackers have developed new malware strains targeting Apple devices as part of a cyberattack campaign against cryptocurrency companies. A report by cybersecurity firm Sentinel Labs reveals that the attackers impersonate trusted contacts on messaging apps like Telegram. They then request a fake Zoom meeting via a Google Meet link, sending what appears to be a Zoom update file to the victim. Once executed, this file installs malware known as 'NimDoor' on Mac computers, which targets crypto wallets and browser passwords. The attack method, while common, is notable for its use of the Nim programming language, which is less familiar and harder for security software to detect. Researchers noted that although the initial stages of the attack follow a familiar pattern involving social engineering and fake updates, the use of Nim-compiled binaries on macOS is unusual. Nim's ability to run on Windows, Mac, and Linux without changes makes it attractive to cybercriminals, allowing them to write malware that functions across multiple platforms. The language compiles quickly, creates standalone executable files, and is difficult to detect, offering significant advantages over previously used languages like Go and Rust. The malware payload includes a credential-stealer designed to extract browser and system-level information silently. It also contains a script to steal Telegram's encrypted local database and decryption keys, employing smart timing by waiting ten minutes before activation to avoid detection. Cybersecurity solutions provider Huntress reported similar malware incursions linked to the North Korean state-sponsored hacking group 'BlueNoroff.' The malware can bypass Apple's memory protections to inject the payload, performing keylogging, screen recording, and clipboard retrieval. It also features a 'full-featured infostealer' called CryptoBot, focusing on cryptocurrency theft by penetrating browser extensions to access wallet plugins. This week, blockchain security firm SlowMist warned users about a 'massive malicious campaign' involving fake Firefox extensions designed to steal cryptocurrency wallet credentials. Sentinel Labs researchers concluded that macOS has become a larger target for threat actors, especially sophisticated, state-sponsored attackers, debunking the myth that Macs are immune to viruses. The increasing focus on macOS by threat actors highlights the need for heightened security measures to protect against such sophisticated cyber threats.
