Ripple to Share North Korean Threat Intelligence with Crypto Industry to Counter Long-Period Social Engineering Attacks

According to CoinDesk, Ripple announced on Monday that it will share its internal intelligence on North Korean hackers with Crypto ISAC, a threat intelligence-sharing organization for the cryptocurrency industry, to help businesses identify coordinated intrusion campaigns. This move comes amid a recent shift in attack patterns targeting the cryptocurrency sector. The April theft of $285 million from the Drift protocol was not a traditional smart-contract vulnerability exploit; instead, North Korean hackers spent months building relationships with Drift contributors and installing malware on their devices before stealing private keys. Ripple stated: “The strongest crypto security posture is a shared one. A threat actor rejected by one company after background screening may submit resumes to three other companies the same week. Without shared intelligence, each company starts from scratch.”

Senator Tillis Ends Months-Long Obstruction, Clearing the Way for Waller’s Fed Chairmanship

Tillis had refused for months to vote in favor of Warsh, stating he would not advance any Fed nominee’s confirmation while the Justice Department’s criminal investigation into Powell remained ongoing—calling the probe an attack on the central bank’s independence. However, that investigation appears to have concluded last Friday. (Jin10)

He believes that participating in such opportunities relies on either the speed of information acquisition or the ability to judge the impact of events.Furthermore, he indicated that as the recent altcoin market has gradually cooled down, he has resumed the strategy of going long on BTC while hedging by shorting some altcoin assets.
