LEDGER SUPPLY CHAIN ATTACK<br/><br/>CryptoBilis co-founders Arravind Prabu and Vimalatheethan have issued an official statement distancing themselves from the company’s current operations following reports of compromised Ledger devices.<br/><br/>According to the statement:<br/><br/>• CryptoBilis was acquired by new ownership earlier this year.<br/><br/>• Both founders stepped down and completed the operational handover in March 2026.<br/><br/>• Neither has had access to customer databases, order histories, backend systems, or administrative accounts since the handover.<br/><br/>• The acquisition agreement prohibited a joint public announcement until mid-October 2026, although suppliers had reportedly been informed of the ownership change.<br/><br/>• Both founders offered to provide Ledger with historical information to assist its investigation.<br/><br/>The statement identifies Nicholas Chang as the current person in charge of CryptoBilis.<br/><br/>The revelations raise further questions about the reseller’s ownership transition and the timeline of the suspected Ledger supply chain attack.<br/><br/> <img

TRADING<br/><br/>Tether has reversed its decision to blacklist four THORChain USDT vaults on the Tron blockchain, approximately three hours after freezing $1.45 million in assets.<br/><br/>The affected vaults reportedly held 93% of THORChain’s Tron-based USDT liquidity, forcing the protocol to suspend trading, transaction signing and liquidity-provider operations.<br/><br/>THORChain co-founder Chad Barraford said the protocol received no warning or explanation from Tether before the freeze.<br/><br/>The four addresses were subsequently removed from the blacklist, allowing Tron trading and related operations to resume.<br/><br/>However, 19 other addresses reportedly blacklisted during the same operation remained frozen.<br/><br/>The incident comes amid heightened scrutiny of Tether’s ability to freeze assets across decentralized financial infrastructure.<br/><br/>THORChain facilitates native Bitcoin swaps without requiring users to wrap BTC or transfer custody to a centralized exchange.<br/><br/>While THORChain’s validators collectively control its vaults, they cannot override restrictions imposed by centralized token issuers.<br/><br/>The reason for Tether’s initial action remains unclear.<br/><br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/273ba1b2e5f17f98e3646e2cdc7d4ba5ca2da3345a7f7290037f6d92eb9463f3.jpg"> 2026-10-11T02:10:49Z

identified as Jiaming, whose registered address is in China’s Heilongjiang province, listed as holding 100% of the company’s shares as of August 3.<br/><br/>The company’s former co-founder has now confirmed that CryptoBilis was acquired in March, when the original owners stepped down from all operational, managerial, and administrative roles.<br/><br/>According to the statement, the founders have had no operational visibility since the handover, although they continued assisting with event coordination.<br/><br/>“We are no longer part of the company,” the former co-founder stated, urging current management to resolve the situation transparently.<br/><br/>The revelation comes amid an investigation into a suspected Ledger hardware wallet supply chain attack involving devices modified

MINER SELLING PRESSURE<br/><br/>JPMorgan says Bitcoin trading near its estimated $85,000 average production cost could provide relief to miners and reduce the risk of forced selling.<br/><br/>Bitcoin spent 280 days below the bank’s estimated production cost, pressuring higher-cost miners to shut down machines, sell older rigs and seek cheaper electricity.<br/><br/>The bank says a sustained move above $85,000 would improve the backdrop for miners and further reduce forced selling pressure.<br/><br/> <img

CYBERSECURITY LAW ADDRESSING OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE<br/><br/>The Swiss Federal Council is moving to create a standalone federal cybersecurity law, explicitly citing open-source software as an area that could receive a more comprehensive regulatory approach.<br/><br/>The law would consolidate rules covering software and hardware security, critical digital data, cloud and hosting providers, and cyberattack reporting.<br/><br/>It would also establish binding requirements for manufacturers, importers and distributors, including market surveillance and the ability to ban sales of insecure

£207,000 ENGAGEMENT FRAUD SCHEME<br/><br/>X has sued the operators behind @Vivek4real_ and a network of Bitcoin and crypto accounts, alleging they manipulated engagement to fraudulently extract more than £207,000 from its creator revenue-sharing program.<br/><br/>The lawsuit names @Vivek4real_, @Bitcoin_Teddy, @saylordocs, @TrendingBitcoin, @Kalshibacktest and @PolyBackTest among the accounts allegedly operated as a coordinated network.<br/><br/>X claims the accounts repeatedly liked, reposted and engaged with one another, published identical or near-identical content, and used a web of financial accounts to conceal their connections.<br/><br/>The company alleges @Vivek4real_ was also used to offer paid engagement-manipulation services to third parties and solicit additional high-follower accounts into the operation. <br/><br/>X suspended the accounts on August 18 and is now seeking to recover the allegedly improperly obtained funds.<br/><br/> <img

TOWARD COMMITTEE VOTE WEDNESDAY<br/><br/>The House Financial Services Committee is scheduled to mark up H.R. 8957, the American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026, on Wednesday, September 16, putting the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve legislation in position for a committee vote.<br/><br/>Introduced by Rep. Nick Begich (R-AK) with Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) as its lone Democratic cosponsor, the bill would formally establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve within the Treasury and a separate Digital Asset Stockpile for non-Bitcoin assets.<br/><br/>Qualifying Bitcoin obtained by the federal government through forfeitures would be held in the reserve, while proceeds from the sale or conversion of non-Bitcoin assets could be used to acquire additional Bitcoin or reduce the national debt.<br/><br/>The bill would also require Treasury and Commerce to study budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional Bitcoin over five years, while explicitly stating that the provision does not authorize borrowing, new taxes or deficit spending to fund purchases.<br/><br/>Wednesday’s markup is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. ET.<br/><br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/14f550ef4bc0ef7078252613beed0a43c42470daddad0bd35f6503ab3532ed60.jpg"> 2026-09-15T02:57:56Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqspw0dwpcq7fsw7nvy54wypmlrvmp4lmmqt7hmsd7mlpwmtgarzz3szyqnhfkpu37tcn3vrg9pf9vge93p5tkml7r24r63ja73ftr6pjtmw2t8chw4 REVOLUT ATTACKERS BEGIN LEAKING CUSTOMER PASSPORTS AND KYC SELFIES<br/><br/>The threat actors behind the Revolut data incident have reportedly begun publicly leaking customer information and demanding payment from Revolut, threatening to release additional victims every day until the company pays.<br/><br/>The leaks reportedly include passports and KYC selfies belonging to named individuals, including tennis player Alexander Shevchenko and Gamdom CEO Felix Römer.<br/><br/>The attackers claim their operation ran for six months and that most of the Revolut data obtained comes from Switzerland and France, with customer records from roughly 30 additional countries also compromised.<br/><br/>The attack reportedly did not involve a direct breach of Revolut’s systems.<br/><br/>Attackers explain on their own website seen below how they used a real government agency email domain, with reporting pointing to compromised Italian PEC infrastructure, to send fraudulent law enforcement data requests to Revolut. <br/><br/>The emails passed DKIM authentication checks and were treated as legitimate by Revolut’s compliance team, which then handed over customer information.<br/><br/>The exposed records allegedly include passports, KYC selfies, names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, bank account identifiers, fiat transaction histories, and Bitcoin and other crypto deposits and withdrawals.<br/><br/>According to @intcyberdigest, the attackers also claim to have compromised multiple Italian law enforcement departments and stolen 147 GB of internal documents, calendars, communications and personal material.<br/><br/>The attackers are now attempting to extort Revolut using the customer data obtained through those fraudulent government requests.<br/><br/>The full scale of the breach remains unclear.<br/><br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/70f783735823afe1c3236a990b578312066d022848bfa702d177e06f20e58cee.jpg"> 2026-09-15T02:57:11Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsfyh7qfkmpyku8xaumr0p7nca7ytnjhxukldezw93cqcelfwgmaeszyqnhfkpu37tcn3vrg9pf9vge93p5tkml7r24r63ja73ftr6pjtmw2dqzak3 &#34;Bessent&#39;s woken up in the cargo hold of a plane.

LIQUID HACK DISCLOSURE<br/><br/>Samson Mow and Bitcoin Red Team researcher Calle are publicly clashing over whether security warnings related to the Liquid Network exploit were properly handled.<br/><br/>Calle suggested Blockstream’s failure to act on a Red Team email ultimately “cost” 600 BTC, prompting Mow to respond that “no emails were ignored.”<br/><br/>Calle said the Red Team will publish its complete account of the disclosure process after Blockstream restores normal Liquid operations and releases its postmortem.<br/><br/>Mow separately warned against blindly trusting AI-generated security reports, arguing that unverified fixes can introduce new vulnerabilities and criticizing researchers who prioritize “clout” over protecting Bitcoin.<br/><br/> <img
