Source: Mieszko9/Adobe South Korean and United States intelligence agencies have warned that Pyongyang-based hackers are trying to hit “major international institutions” with ransomware attacks. But experts say that “overlapping sanctions” could help Seoul and Washington thwart North Korean cyber thieves. Per the South Korean media outlets SBS and New Daily, the Seoul-based National Intelligence Service (NIS) warned that North Korea was “trying to steal virtual assets” by “distributing ransomware to major institutions located all around the world.” The NIS made its announcement in conjunction with the US National Security Agency (NSA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The move marks the first time that US and South Korean intelligence agencies have issued a joint security advisory. The NIS claims that North Korea-linked hacking organizations are now taking aim at the computer networks of “major instit...

Source: CoinGecko The price of Solana-based meme token Bonk (BONK) has risen by 90% in the past 24 hours, with the new Shiba Inu-styled altcoin launching at the end of December following a large-scale airdrop. The cryptocurrency is also up by a whopping 2,200% since going live, creating a serious expectation that it's the next big thing in dog-related meme tokens. Of course, the problem with most meme coins is that, beyond an association with unpredictable pumps, they don't have much in the way of fundamentals. Bonk hopes to counteract this to some extent by eventually launching its own DAO and linking with various parts of the Solana ecosystem, yet time will tell if it can become more than just another flash in the pan.

BONK has seen a steady increase in volume and price since becoming tradeable at the end of last month. This being crypto, and BONK being a ...

Source: a video screenshot, New York Post The crypto empire controlled by disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was fragile for years, with cracks starting to show up already in 2022, a new report has suggested. According to the report, published by the Wall Street Journal on New Year’s Eve, Bankman-Fried’s crypto trading firm Alameda Research “never was particularly good at investing.” Alameda “took big gambles, winning some and losing plenty,” and a proper risk management was lacking, the report said about the trading firm, which was known for its close ties – and unrestricted access – to FTX. The report contradicts earlier statements from Sam Bankman-Fried, who has insisted Alameda prospered until the crypto crash started in November of 2021. By that time, Bankman-Fried was already out as CEO of Alameda, and the firm was jointly led by Caroline Ellison and Sam Trabucco until August 2022, and then by Ellison alone. ...

Cardano (ADA) price is holding its last line of defense a week after sliding below its critical support at $0.30. The cryptocurrency market has been deplorable over the last two months, with Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX topping the headlines. Due to the contagion spread from the fall of the FTX exchange, experts predict crypto winter to go well into 2023. However, a steady increase in stablecoin volume, as shared in the latest report from CoinMetrics, shows that there will be enough deployable resources to change the course of the trend once confidence in the crypto sector has been restored. Therefore, a blast in Cardano price to $3 is plausible. Meanwhile, ADA exchanges hands at $0.2578 at the time of writing (Saturday – European session). CoinMarketCap has reported a 38.78% drop in trading volume to $126 million. The smart contracts token ranks ninth in the market, boating $8.89 billion in market cap.
