US Treasury Secretary: Leading the search for Powell's successor According to CCTV News, on August 10th local time, US Treasury Secretary Vicente stated that he is leading the search for a successor to Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. TRM Labs: Ransomware organization Embargo transfers $34 million in cryptocurrency since April According to Cointelegraph, blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs stated that a ransomware organization called Embargo has transferred over $34 million in ransom related cryptocurrencies since April. Embargo currently has approximately $18.8 million in cryptocurrency stored in non affiliated wallets, and experts believe that this strategy may be aimed at delaying detection or exploiting better money laundering conditions in the future. Embargo operates under the ransomware as a service (RaaS) model, primarily targeting industries with high downtime costs, including healthcare, business services, and manufacturing, and tends to attack victims within the United States, possibly due to their stronger payment capabilities. TRM's investigation suggests that Embargo may be a renamed version of the notorious BlackCat (ALPHV) organization, which disappeared earlier this year due to suspected withdrawal from a scam. These two organizations overlap technically, both using the Rust programming language, operating similar data breach websites, and demonstrating on chain connectivity through shared wallet infrastructure. Although Embargo is not as aggressive as LockBit or Cl0p, it employs a dual ransomware strategy: encrypting the system and threatening victims to leak sensitive data if they do not make payment. In some cases, the organization may publicly name or leak data on its website to increase pressure. Crypto executive: At least one Bitcoin user is kidnapped every week, and the frequency of attacks will increase during bull markets According to Cointelegraph, SatoshiLabs founder Alena Vranova has warned of an increasing number of wrench attacks, personal attacks, and kidnapping incidents targeting Bitcoin and cryptocurrency holders. Every week, at least one Bitcoin holder in the world is kidnapped, tortured, extorted, and sometimes even suffers more serious consequences. She warned that even small cryptocurrency investors could become targets of violent criminals. It may seem like a problem that only Bitcoin OG investors would encounter, but the reality is not like that. We have seen people kidnapped for cryptocurrency worth $6000, and we have seen people murdered for cryptocurrency worth $50000. Currently, the identity information of over 80 million Bitcoin holders and cryptocurrency users has been leaked online; 2.2 million of them include home addresses. She added that these attacks are related to the price of Bitcoin and their frequency increases during bull markets. Russian hacker group GreedyBear recently stole over $1 million worth of cryptocurrency by forging MetaMask wallets and other means According to Decrypt, Koi Security, headquartered in the United States and Israel, reported that the Russian hacker group GreedyBear has stolen over $1 million worth of cryptocurrency in the past five weeks using 150 "weaponized Firefox extensions," nearly 500 malicious executable files, and "dozens" of phishing websites. Koi's Chief Technology Officer Idan Dardikman stated that the Firefox attack campaign is "by far" its most profitable attack medium, with the majority of the $1 million in revenue coming from it. This particular strategy involves creating fake versions of widely downloaded encrypted wallets such as MetaMask, Exodus, Rabby Wallet, and TronLink. Hackers use Extension Hollowing to bypass market security measures, initially uploading a non malicious version of the extension program, and then updating the application with malicious code. The organization also released false comments about the extension program, giving people a false impression of trust and reliability. Once downloaded, malicious extensions can steal wallet credentials and be used to steal cryptocurrencies. Another major attack tactic of the organization involves nearly 500 malicious Windows executable files, which are added to websites in Russia that distribute pirated or repackaged software. This type of executable file includes credential stealing programs, ransomware, and Trojan programs. LayerZero Foundation proposes to acquire Stargate Cross Chain Bridge and its token STG for $110 million According to The Block, LayerZero Foundation proposes to acquire Stargate Cross Chain Bridge and its STG token for $110 million.

Analyst Merlijn stated that the upward channel for ETH prices has opened, and the current highest target price may be set at $20000. In addition, trader BitBull pointed out that driven by large-scale bear pressure and institutional buying, it may be easier to achieve a new historical high for ETH prices. If the weekly closing price is higher than the $4100 range, the new historical high may appear within 1-2 weeks.
