[SlowMist Cosine Warning: Web3 Job Seekers Targeted by Backdoor Code Theft] SlowMist Cosine @evilcos warns that some Web3 job seekers have encountered malicious code traps during interviews. Attackers impersonated @seracleofficial, asking candidates to review and run code hosted on Bitbucket. After victims cloned the code, the program immediately scanned local .env files, stealing private keys and other sensitive information. SlowMist pointed out that such backdoors are typical stealers, capable of collecting browser passwords, cryptocurrency wallet mnemonics, private keys, and other data. Experts recommend reviewing suspicious code in an isolated environment to avoid running it on real devices.
[Kamino Criticized for Blocking Users from Using Jupiter Lend's Refinance Tool] On December 4, Solana lending protocol Kamino faced criticism for manually blacklisting the on-chain address of Jupiter Lend's newly launched Refinance tool, preventing users from closing positions through this address. Jupiter core contributor Kash Dhanda expressed dissatisfaction on the X platform, while Fluid co-founder Samyak Jain pointed out that Kamino added a verification mechanism to restrict users from switching to platforms with higher yields. According to DefiLlama data, the total value locked (TVL) in Solana's lending market is approximately $3.7 billion, with Kamino accounting for over 60%. However, its TVL has dropped from $3.71 billion in early October to the current $2.33 billion, a decline of about 30% in two months. As of press time, neither party has publicly responded to the matter.
[CryptoQuant: Strategy Establishes USD Reserve Fund to Address Bitcoin Bear Market] CryptoQuant's report states that Strategy has established a USD reserve fund covering 24 months, aiming to address potential long-term corrections or sideways movements in Bitcoin and mitigate the risk of declining acceptance of equity financing in capital markets. CryptoQuant points out that this 'dual reserve model of USD and Bitcoin' can reduce the risk of being forced to sell Bitcoin during market downturns. However, it also signifies a shift in Strategy's approach, moving away from continuously purchasing Bitcoin through stocks and convertible bonds. The report suggests that this shift may weaken demand during Bitcoin bull market cycles, but the USD reserves and hedging capabilities help reduce the risk of sell-offs caused by financial pressure, contributing to market stability in the long term. Strategy's management stated that to protect Bitcoin reserves, the company will adopt more flexible strategies, including cash buffers, hedging, and selective liquidation.
