SaxX described a cyberattack against Binance that he attributed to North Korea and presented as a theft of $6.3 billion. According to his account, the operation allegedly began in June when an engineer from the wallet team installed an infected version of Homebrew. Binance reportedly detected the incident, replaced its computer, and reset its passwords, but the hackers had already mapped the team. In September, a second engineer was supposedly targeted by a job offer posted on LinkedIn, according to SaxX, who referred to Fortune. After fake interviews, the employee downloaded a programming exercise containing a malicious version of pyenv, which Binance's antivirus allegedly did not detect. On October 20, the hackers reportedly used an internal artificial intelligence tool to access the computers of two engineers and found a way to execute code on Binance's servers on one of them. SaxX indicated that on October 29 at 21:05 Paris time, the hackers exploited EIP-7702 to take control of an internet-connected wallet. According to his account, 233 million XRP had been transferred in four minutes, followed by other cryptocurrencies. Binance reportedly took about four hours to halt the transfers, with the last occurring at 00:56 and access being cut off 14 minutes later. SaxX explained that the security system, which distributed keys among multiple parties, prevented a single key from quickly revoking access. He added that Binance claimed to have reimbursed 98% of the stolen cryptocurrencies from its own funds and that $2.85 billion had been frozen or intercepted with partners. According to SaxX, the head of Binance stated that the FBI attributed the attack to North Korea. He also recalled that the previous record was the theft targeting Bybit in 2025, of approximately $1.5 billion, also attributed to North Korea, and that Binance claimed to have blocked 57 North Korean attacks this year. #Cyberattaque #Binance #Cryptomonnaie (translated)

Edvīns Šnore wrote that the head of the Latvian Academy of Sciences has invited the Saeima to grant Latvian citizenship to an Indian scientist, mentioning her publication in the application as the monograph "Financial Freedom. From Salary to a System That Works for You." Šnore said he purchased the book at a bookstore and considered it a self-help publication about making money by investing in stocks and crypto assets. He pointed out that it does not have references or a bibliography, but has cartoons, and expressed the opinion that the book does not meet the criteria of a scientific monograph. He also wrote that the publishing house was established in January of this year and registered at an apartment in Vecmīlgrāvis. The book lists two authors, including Gundars Graudiņš, who indicated on his LinkedIn profile that he works for a company that deals with visas and residence permits for third-country citizens in Latvia, claimed Šnore. He added that the woman's husband referred to the book as his on his Facebook page and questioned who the author is, suggesting the possibility of artificial intelligence involvement. #Latvija #zinātne #grāmatas (translated)

Marianne Zwagerman wrote that Maarten Keulemans did not appear at a meeting of the Dutch Press Council on the case that Maurice de Hond had brought against him. The chairperson called that absence unfortunate, according to Zwagerman; former KRO director Ton Verlind, who attended the meeting, felt that Keulemans should have been there. Zwagerman announced a report about the meeting in the program *Dwars door de Politiek*, focusing on De Hond's accusations and the defense by the Volkskrant. Additionally, she and De Hond would discuss, among other things, the unrest in France, a publication in Trouw about side effects of coronavirus vaccines, and the pressure on nitrogen policy. According to her, they also looked back at a celebration marking De Hond's 50 years as a pollster. Zwagerman reported that the broadcast would be live on Sunday at 9:00 PM and would later be available as a podcast. https://t.co/UQzZVVS9yF #Journalistiek #Politiek #Actualiteit (translated)

Julien De Wit wrote that a colleague had posted his testimony on LinkedIn and that he found it worth sharing. The self-employed individual mentioned that he had received chemotherapy with Taxotere and Cyclophosphamide three years earlier, followed by radiotherapy. A month after his last radiation treatment, he had returned to work, although his supervising doctor thought it was too soon according to him. He had quickly reduced his replacement income of about 40 euros per day. The colleague wrote that he worked as a self-employed individual without staff through a company and had no fixed salary, paid sick leave, or vacation pay. If he was sick or took a holiday, he earned nothing. With a full schedule ahead, he was afraid of getting sick this month, he wrote. He opposed what he considered to be negative perceptions of self-employed individuals with a management company and called for respect for the risks they themselves bore. https://t.co/JNrZ60Kq3n #zelfstandigen #ondernemen #respect (translated)
