According to Cointelegraph, a United States government agency has issued a warning about a threat actor known for extorting victims by demanding cryptocurrency payments in exchange for not leaking accessed data. On October 4, the United States Health Sector Cybersecurity Coordination Center (HC3) released a detailed profile on Trinity ransomware, a relatively new threat targeting sensitive data. The HC3 reported that attackers use phishing emails, malicious websites, and software vulnerabilities to trick victims into installing the ransomware on their computers. Once installed, the ransomware searches the computer for sensitive information, collects it, and sends it to the hackers. Additionally, the ransomware encrypts the victim’s files using an algorithm, rendering them unusable. After encrypting the files, the ransomware generates a ransom note informing victims that their data has been extracted and encrypted. The note demands payment in cryptocurrency in exchange for a decryption key. The ransom note also warns victims that they have 24 hours to pay the hackers in cryptocurrencies, or their data will be leaked. The HC3 stated, “Victims have 24 hours to contact the cybercriminals, and failure to do so will result in the stolen data being leaked or sold. Unfortunately, no known decryption tools are currently available for Trinity ransomware, leaving victims with few options.” The HC3 noted that Trinity ransomware targets critical infrastructure, including healthcare providers. The agency reported that seven organizations had fallen victim to the ransomware, including at least one healthcare entity in the United States. The HC3 emphasized the severity of the threat posed by Trinity ransomware to critical infrastructure. In related news, Chainalysis’ 2024 Crypto Crime Report revealed that in 2023, high-profile institutions and infrastructure paid approximately $1.1 billion in cryptocurrency to ransomware attackers. The report highlighted that various actors, ranging from individuals and smaller crime groups to large-scale syndicates, carried out these attacks. It also noted that 538 new ransomware variants were created in 2023, with large companies like the BBC and British Airways among the targets.

Bybit has announced that its Launchpool platform has further expanded the functionality of ecosystem token pools. Building on the previous successful integration of Mantle, Bybit Launchpool now supports SUI pools, marking an important step for the team to broadly support ecosystem development and provide more targeted opportunities for token holders. This new initiative reflects Bybit's long-term commitment to promoting the development of the blockchain ecosystem. The introduction of SUI as Bybit's first ecosystem native token pool comes at a critical time in the active development of the project. With Circle's recent issuance of USDC on the SUI blockchain, Bybit has made a strategic decision to replace the existing USDT pool with a USDC pool, which will provide users with greater flexibility and better meet the needs of the SUI ecosystem. Emily Bao, head of Bybit’s spot trading division and Web3, said: “We believe that a healthy ecosystem and high-quality projects can continue to attract new users and are the driving force behind the development of the industry. As an open platform that has been running stably for six years, Bybit will continue to work closely with ecosystem partners to support each other and develop together. This is reflected in our recent coin listing strategy. Bybit is one of the first exchanges to announce support for the launch of TON ecosystem tokens, and is also the first exchange to support Solana chain PYUSD deposits, withdrawals and transactions. Recently, the SUI ecosystem has been developing strongly, and we have quickly launched the ecosystem’s top project NAVI protocol to support Launchpool staking mining of the SUI token pool. This is also the first time that Bybit has opened a mining pool other than the Mantle ecosystem’s native token, and SUI is just the beginning. Next, we will introduce more ecosystem token pools based on project characteristics and ecosystem development to enable the sustainable development of the ecosystem.” Bybit will continue to be committed to providing users with a diverse and attractive experience through its Launchpool platform, and will continue to evolve with the needs of the blockchain ecosystem.

As NASA approaches a pivotal moment in its operations, the future of human activity in low-Earth orbit (LEO) hangs in the balance. The International Space Station (ISS), NASA's flagship orbital laboratory, is nearing the end of its operational life. The question looming large is whether the agency will be able to transition smoothly to a private space station, or face the possibility of a gap in human presence in orbit for the first time in decades. With NASA’s focus shifting toward deeper space exploration through its Artemis Program, which aims to return humans to the Moon and eventually reach Mars, LEO remains a critical frontier for scientific research and technological development.

In a groundbreaking experiment at CERN, particle physicists are on the brink of uncovering new physics beyond the Standard Model. The NA62 experiment, led by a team of researchers including Cristina Lazzeroni from the University of Birmingham, has successfully observed and measured a rare particle decay event that scientists have long sought to witness. The event? The decay of a charged kaon into a charged pion, a neutrino, and an antineutrino—a channel so rare that it has earned the status of a "golden" event in particle physics.
