A hacker publicly sold suspected personal information of TSMC employees on an underground forum, claiming to possess up to 46,000 records with a data volume of 6.9GB, and is asking for 3 bitcoins. The hacker even threatened to fully disclose the related information if no one purchases it within a week.In response, TSMC confirmed that some personal information of current and former employees was disclosed without authorization. Preliminary investigations indicate that this information matches data from a certain cloud service provider's system, but there is currently no evidence that TSMC's own data systems have been breached. TSMC emphasized that the related information is unrelated to the company's production and customer data. The company has been notifying affected individuals and providing necessary assistance, while closely cooperating with the relevant cloud service provider, investigative agencies, and third-party cybersecurity organizations to expedite the clarification of the incident's cause and take necessary measures.

Blockchain infrastructure service provider Chainstack disclosed that it experienced an AI-driven cyber attack from October 26 to 31, 2026. The attacker accessed the development environment through an unmodified default administrator credential and a Grafana instance without single sign-on protection, subsequently gaining cluster administrator privileges via an unauthenticated MCP tool server and stealing credentials through an automated platform, ultimately accessing the production environment to read the customer database.This incident resulted in the exposure of customer account information, including organization names, account holder names, member email addresses, and password hashes. The attacker also had access to systems containing node credentials, although there is no evidence that they were read; however, Chainstack still urged customers to rotate their node credentials. Chainstack stated that customer-facing services operated normally during the incident, and customer nodes, consoles, and APIs were not modified. Investigations revealed that the attacker used the open-source framework ARTEX, with no evidence found of exploiting software vulnerabilities. Chainstack has cut off the attack access path and requested customers to change passwords, rotate node credentials, regenerate platform API keys, and remain vigilant against phishing information.

Ethereum developer Marchhill submitted the draft EIP-8437, proposing to propagate proof wrapper data through the eth/73 protocol and introducing an optional mode that allows transactions to submit raw signatures to the aggregator without pre-generating STARK proofs.This proposal supports the direct propagation of certified packages with transactions and performs independent checks of specified programs in resource-constrained sandboxes to verify witness data. The new program does not require the development of native adapters for each signature scheme separately. Additionally, the proposal plans to limit the batch queue size, clean up expired transactions, and recheck records before formally generating proofs to support failure retries.Currently, the proposal is still in the Draft stage and has not yet been merged. The developer pointed out that VM and key binding consistency verification, cryptographic verification, and performance testing are still incomplete, and benchmarking has not yet been conducted.

Bloomberg cited informed sources reporting that as the longest-serving policymaker at the Federal Reserve approaches retirement, discussions are underway within the Fed regarding the term limit rules for regional Fed presidents. The focus is on whether John Williams, the president of the New York Fed, can serve until June 2028, which would mark his 10-year tenure as president of the New York Fed, or if he must step down when he turns 65 in June 2027.According to relevant rules, regional Fed presidents are typically required to retire at 65; however, those who are first appointed after the age of 55 may serve for up to 10 years or until they reach 75, whichever comes first, as determined by the regional Fed board. One point of contention is whether the years Williams served as president of the San Francisco Fed from 2011 to 2018 count toward this 10-year limit. Williams himself and several observers have previously interpreted the rules as allowing him to serve until June 2028. He told Bloomberg last month that he plans to serve until that time and described it as a commitment to the New York Fed board and his family.If Williams steps down in 2027, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh would have the opportunity to influence the appointment of this important regional Fed leader a year earlier. Informed sources say it is currently unclear whether Warsh or other board officials support ending his term early; if there is a push for him to leave prematurely, it could provoke opposition from other regional Fed presidents, who may be concerned about further Washington intervention in regional Fed operations. A spokesperson for the Federal Reserve Board and Pat Wang, chair of the New York Fed board, both declined to comment. The New York Fed board has not yet officially announced the initiation of the succession selection process, which typically takes several months.

According to Hong Kong media Ming Pao, the Hong Kong police dismantled a cross-border criminal group that used virtual currency over-the-counter (OTC) channels for money laundering, arresting 22 people, including 21 men and 1 woman, aged between 21 and 54.The police investigation revealed that the group had been active since August this year, recruiting mainland individuals to come to Hong Kong to open puppet bank accounts, withdraw cash from criminal proceeds, and then transfer the funds to virtual currency OTC shops operated by the group. They laundered the money through buying and selling virtual currencies, with the police estimating that the group laundered over 150 million Hong Kong dollars from August to October this year alone.It is reported that the group had clear divisions of labor, first arranging for mainland individuals holding two-way permits to come to Hong Kong to open online bank accounts for receiving criminal proceeds. They then recruited cash withdrawal personnel who used bank cards distributed by the group to withdraw cash from ATMs at different locations and banks, which was then collected and transported by runners to the OTC shops to complete the money laundering.

Binance Research's latest report indicates that while institutional funds have significantly entered the cryptocurrency market, they are primarily flowing into passive Beta products (such as ETFs), and the actively managed sector has not kept pace.The core reason is not a lack of talent or returns, but rather the absence of a middle layer that connects funds with managers for discovery and verification. Currently, the funding sources for active cryptocurrency strategies still heavily rely on personal networks and conferences, lacking a standardized performance verification and benchmarking system.Research shows that 80% of asset allocators prioritize asset safety over historical returns, and verified trading platform data can significantly enhance due diligence. Managers believe that unverifiable performance and lengthy compliance reviews are the biggest obstacles to fundraising.Capital Connect data shows that directional strategies account for 44.3% of the total number of funds but hold only 6.7% of the capital; market-neutral, statistical arbitrage, and traditional multi-strategy funds make up less than half but attract 92.1% of the capital. The average single investment size from institutions in neutral strategies is about 11 times that of directional strategies.In October, BTC fell by 7.2%, with directional funds averaging a positive return of 1.9%, while neutral strategies recorded 1.0%. Binance Research concludes that institutional preferences and the introduction of traditional structures are driving the market towards maturity, but allocators remain highly selective. Only a comprehensive verification system and operational infrastructure can truly unlock the inflow of actively managed funds.
