**[BSC Unverified Contract Hit by Flash Loan Attack, Losses Approx. $150,000]** BlockSec Phalcon alerts indicate that a suspicious transaction occurred on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) several hours ago, targeting an unverified contract (address: 0x93fD192e1CD288F1f5eE0A019429B015016061F9), resulting in a loss of approximately $150,000. The attack exploited a vulnerability in the contract's referral reward mechanism, where the reward calculation relied on the manipulatable spot price of the BURN/BUSD trading pair. The attacker manipulated the BURN price through a flash loan and repeatedly created new contracts to bypass the "one referral per address" and maximum investment limit restrictions, thereby accumulating inflated BUSD referral rewards. Subsequently, they sold the borrowed BURN tokens, causing the price to drop, and profited by purchasing BURN at the lower price. This incident highlights the potential risks of price-dependent mechanisms in smart contract design.

[U.S. Court Rules Pastor Couple Defrauded Investors in Cryptocurrency Scam, Ordered to Repay $3.39 Million] The Colorado Securities Division announced that a Denver district court recently ruled Pastor Eli Regalado and his wife were involved in cryptocurrency fraud and must repay $3.39 million to investors. The court found that the Regalado couple illegally raised funds through tokens issued by their church, INDXcoin and Sumcoin, involving at least 596 investors and violating securities laws. They claimed that 'God' instructed them to create and promote these tokens, forming a 'prophet team' to market them under the guise of religion. However, they deposited investor funds into personal accounts, with at least $1.3 million spent on luxury expenses. The court emphasized that a religious framework cannot be used as a shield to evade legal scrutiny.
