Researchers from ReversingLabs have discovered a new method of spreading malware, in which Ethereum smart contracts are used for covert delivery of commands and links. According to their data, hackers were embedding infected packages into open repositories, utilizing blockchain features to bypass standard cybersecurity tools.

Users who downloaded the malicious packages — colortoolsv2 and mimelib2 — were at risk. They were published in July 2025 in NPM, the largest repository of JavaScript libraries. The malware did not contain direct links to command servers but obtained them from Ethereum smart contracts.

After installation, the packages connected to the blockchain, extracted server addresses, and downloaded the second phase of the malware. This mechanism turned ordinary smart contracts into a tool for masking URLs and helped attackers evade automated security checks.

Experts believe that the combination of blockchain technology with social engineering demonstrates a rise in the ingenuity of hackers.

Overall, according to experts and researchers, in August 2025, the industry's losses from cyberattacks exceeded $163 million.

On the night of November 14, 2025, the price of Bitcoin $BTC briefly fell below the mark of $96,000. This is the lowest value since May 2025. Subsequently, the rate of the first cryptocurrency recovered to $97,000.

All assets in the top-10 by market capitalization also declined, but their drop was only slightly deeper than that of Bitcoin. Some assets fell less than the first cryptocurrency. Against the backdrop of the correction, Bitcoin's dominance in the market initially increased — the indicator rose to about 60.2%. However, by morning it had dropped to 59.7%.

Professor of the Columbia Business School Omid Malekan stated that the recent decline in the crypto market is related not only to macroeconomic factors but also to the activities of companies managing digital treasuries (#DAT ). According to him, many of them contributed to the price decrease rather than supporting market stability.

He noted that these instruments became a mass exit mechanism that accelerated the decline in asset value.

The professor emphasized that only a few companies truly tried to "create sustainable value," but they can be counted on one hand. The rest of the companies used crypto treasury as a tool for quick enrichment. Such firms attracted millions of dollars from investors without a long-term strategy.

Понад $2 млрд криптоактивів викрали північнокорейські хакери у 2025 році ― це найбільший річний показник за весь час. Про це йдеться у звіті аналітичної компанії Elliptic.

Загальний обсяг коштів, викрадених угрупованнями з КНДР, уже перевищив $6 млрд, зазначили експерти.

Загалом Elliptic приписує КНДР понад 30 інцидентів цього року. Серед них ― атаки на Bybit, LND.fi, WOO X та Seedify. Попередній рекорд встановили у 2022 році ($1,35 млрд), а за весь 2024 рік сума склала менше ніж $700 млн.

У звіті йдеться, що зростає частка атак на приватних інвесторів. Соціальна інженерія поступово витісняє технічні експлойти ― зловмисники фокусуються на тому, щоб обманом отримати доступ до криптогаманців.

Це свідчить про те, що найслабшою ланкою в інфраструктурі безпеки стає саме людина, а не програмний код, зазначили експерти.

The company #Ledger reported its best year in its entire history. According to the CEO of the firm, Pascal Gauthier, amid the rise of hacker attacks in the crypto industry, revenue has already reached hundreds of millions of dollars, and Ledger devices remain the most sought after in the cold wallet market.

Gauthier noted that in the cryptocurrency sector, hacker attacks are occurring more frequently. In his opinion, the next year will not be better.

In #FT , referring to Chainalysis data, it was noted that over $2.2 billion was stolen in the first half of 2025 — more than in the entire year of 2024. Approximately 23% of attacks were aimed at private wallets, and this trend is only intensifying.

Amid this, more and more users are looking to secure their assets. Gauthier noted that smartphones are designed for entertainment, not security, so cold wallets are objectively the better option.

#Binance recorded a historically low share of illegal transactions — only 0.007%

Cryptocurrency exchange Binance reported that in June 2025, only 0.007% of transactions on the exchange were related to illegal wallets — this is more than 2.5 times lower than the average for centralized exchanges according to Chainalysis (0.018%).

Thus, the level of illegal activity on Binance remains one of the lowest in the industry.

The company emphasized that the reduction of illegal activities not only protects users and investors but also contributes to broader adoption of cryptocurrencies, creating a safer, more transparent, and regulated environment.

A hacker incident in the BNB Smart Chain (#BSC ) led to the theft of over $3.1 million from the #GANA Payment project. The breach was reported by analyst ZachXBT, noting that the attackers quickly withdrew and transferred assets between networks to cover their tracks.

According to the tracker, the hackers collected the stolen funds at an address and primarily converted them into $BNB . About 1140 BNB worth $1.04 million was sent to Tornado Cash. Another portion of the assets was transferred to Ethereum $ETH , after which the attacker deposited an additional 346.8 ETH (approximately $1.05 million) into Tornado Cash. Another 346 ETH remain on an inactive address.

GANA Payment is a small payment project on BSC that operates through decentralized exchanges and on-chain liquidity pools. The project lacks official security audits or detailed technical documentation, so the nature of the vulnerability is still unknown.
