[Security Agencies Claim 15%-20% of Crypto Companies May Have North Korean Agents Infiltrated] Pablo Sabbatella, founder of Web3 auditing firm opsek, stated at the Devconnect conference that North Korea's infiltration into the crypto industry could involve as many as 15%-20% of crypto companies harboring North Korean agents. He estimated that approximately 30%-40% of job applications received by crypto companies come from North Korean agents attempting to infiltrate organizations. Sabbatella pointed out that North Korea not only steals funds through hacking but also gains system access through legitimate employment. He explained that North Korean agents use freelance platforms to find remote workers to act as "proxies" in exchange for a share of the profits. Additionally, North Korean agents disguise their identities and use malware to obtain U.S. IP addresses to secure interview opportunities. He warned that the crypto industry lacks sufficient operational security and is vulnerable to social engineering attacks.

[Federal Reserve Officials Support Rate Cuts, Probability of December Rate Cut Rises Above 70%] New York Fed President Williams explicitly supports a rate cut, stating that there is still room to adjust interest rates in the short term. Market expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut on December 10 have surged from 40% to over 70%. Wells Fargo's chief economist stated that the deterioration of the labor market is a reasonable basis, with the unemployment rate reaching 4.4% in September, the highest in four years. Deutsche Bank economists said the job market is on the brink of crisis. Vanguard Group economists believe Williams' remarks are a key basis, as Federal Reserve Chair Powell, Williams, and Governor Waller all support accommodative policies. Analysts pointed out that the December meeting could be a window for a rate cut, but some officials still hold opposing views. Due to the government shutdown, the meeting will lack the latest employment and inflation data.
