The cross-chain protocol Axelar Network released a statement regarding the recent security incident related to Secret Network, stating that there is a misunderstanding within the community about the event. Both Axelar and the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC) were not attacked or compromised. The affected token smart contracts were neither developed, deployed, nor maintained by Axelar, and Axelar's firewall mechanism also prevented the impact from spreading to other chains.It is reported that the exploited contract is a forked version based on CW20-ICS20, but the developers removed two core security checks, resulting in an "infinite minting" vulnerability. By deleting the verification mechanisms originally used to prevent such issues, this fork altered the original trust model of the contract and did not undergo a new security audit.Axelar Network explained that anyone can deploy contracts for cross-chain asset wrapping through IBC, and similar contracts have also been used to wrap tokens from other chains into Secret Network. However, the Secret side fork version in this incident has vulnerabilities due to the removal of key security checks. This incident is not a unique logical flaw, nor is it an issue with the IBC protocol itself, but rather a security risk introduced by modifications to third-party contracts.

Agent Economy project NeoSoul announced a strategic partnership with AI-powered financial OS Infini. Currently, NeoSoul has adopted the Infini corporate card to support the team's expenses in SaaS subscriptions, AI APIs, cloud services, marketing, community operations, and collaboration tools during the globalization process, further enhancing the payment efficiency and financial management capabilities of AI/Web3 teams.As the globalization of AI and Web3 projects continues to increase, the team's daily expenses are showing characteristics of high frequency, small amounts, cross-border, and multi-platform. From model calls, cloud infrastructure, and node services to advertising, content production, and community growth, corporate financial tools have become an important infrastructure affecting R&D efficiency and market execution speed. Through this collaboration, NeoSoul will leverage the Infini corporate card and related tools to optimize the team's experience in cross-border spending, budget management, expense visualization, and operational collaboration, providing more flexible financial support for subsequent product development and global market expansion.In the future, both parties will further communicate around corporate financial operations in the AI era. Potential directions include the application of AI Agents in corporate expense management, budget control, subscription management, and cross-border payments, the role of stablecoin payments in the global operations of AI/Web3 teams, and the potential needs for payment authorization, settlement, and credit infrastructure that may arise during the development of the Agent Economy. NeoSoul and Infini also plan to continuously focus on the integration of AI Agents and corporate financial infrastructure through industry exchanges, closed-door discussions, and ecological communication, promoting more discussions on AI-native operations, stablecoin payments, and digital economic infrastructure.NeoSoul co-founder Kaelan stated: "The development of AI Agents is gradually moving from content generation and information processing to more complex economic behaviors. As Agents begin to participate in forecasting, collaboration, payments, settlements, and long-term credit accumulation, enterprises and development teams also need financial infrastructure that is more suitable for globalization, digitization, and automation scenarios. This collaboration with Infini will start from NeoSoul's own team operation scenarios and gradually explore more possibilities for the integration of AI and new financial tools."Infini founder Christian stated: "NeoSoul is exploring cutting-edge directions such as AI Agents, predictive markets, and the Agent Economy, which highly aligns with Infini's judgment on the future of corporate financial automation. We are pleased to support NeoSoul's global operations through corporate cards and financial operation tools. In the future, Infini also looks forward to more discussions with NeoSoul around financial management for AI-native teams, stablecoin payments, and automated operations."

According to The Block, B2B stablecoin technology provider Infinite has launched Infinite Accounts, offering banking account services for businesses that support deposits, withdrawals, ACH, domestic and international wire transfers, as well as stablecoin minting, burning, and on-chain transfers, all accessible through a single API.This service is supported by traditional banking infrastructure from Erebor Bank, which has recently received its license. Infinite states that the fiat currency balance in the accounts may be eligible for FDIC insurance, while the stablecoin balance is not. This move comes at a time when institutional adoption of stablecoins is continuing to heat up.

According to GoPlus Security, a piece of malware named Infiniti Stealer is targeting Mac users' cryptocurrency wallets and sensitive credentials through a "ClickFix" social engineering attack method.The attackers forge a highly realistic Cloudflare CAPTCHA page to lure users into opening the terminal and manually pasting malicious commands. After executing the command, the script removes the macOS quarantine attribute and silently writes subsequent payloads to the /tmp directory. The final payload is a native macOS binary compiled with Nuitka, significantly increasing the difficulty of detection by security tools. Once deployed, Infiniti Stealer can steal Chromium / Firefox browser credentials, macOS Keychain, cryptocurrency wallets, and developer key files (such as .env files), and it has sandbox detection and delayed execution capabilities to evade tracking.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, a wallet suspected to be related to the Infini hacker (0x4b61...beb6) exchanged 3,003 ETH for 87 WBTC at a price of $67,700, worth $5,890,000, and sent it to another wallet.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, the Infini attacker transferred 9,154 ETH through Tornado Cash, worth approximately 19.33 million USD.

ChainCatcher news, Chainlink community member Zach Rynes posted on X stating, "Paxos accidentally minted 300 trillion unsupported PYUSD tokens. The funds are currently safe; it was just an operational error, and the excess supply has been destroyed, maintaining a 1:1 peg.But this is a great example of how Chainlink's Proof of Reserve could have prevented an entire public relations nightmare. Specifically, asset issuers could integrate Chainlink PoR into the minting function of their token contracts as a verification check, which would prevent the issuance of additional tokens unless Chainlink PoR first verifies that there are sufficient off-chain reserves available to maintain 100% collateralization.This could prevent 'infinite minting attacks,' which involve minting large amounts of unsupported tokens, putting all listed tokens and the markets supporting those tokens at risk."
