Previously, we reported about a shocking hack where a scammer stole a $4 million NFT collection by just taking a photo. That case left us with many questions about the technical vector of the attack. The Trust Wallet conducted an investigation and revealed the scheme. The day before the affair, the perpetrator shared the NDA file with the victim and requested KYC information. The fake NDA contained malware that targeted the smartphone. The criminal then persuaded the victim to transfer funds from the multi-sig wallet to a single Trust Wallet to confirm NFT ownership and copied the information he needed. The balance photo was just smoke and mirrors. But damn, this scheme deserves an episode in the new James Bond series.

This time the SEC hits the crypto exchange Kraken over a possible violation of the Securities Act. Incoming CEO Dave Ripley has refused to delist tokens determined as securities under the Howey test and is now having troubles with the SEC. This case may be settled in the coming days and will make a decisive difference for the entire crypto community. It is also rumored that the SEC intends to ban retail staking. Genesis and Gemini keep their fingers crossed, as they have already stepped into Kraken's shoes once before.

Craig Wright, who calls himself Napoleon Satoshi Nakamoto, is still going through a rough patch. All lawsuits demanding to recognize him as Bitcoin's creator are constantly rejected by courts of different countries and instances. This time, London’s appeal showed him to the door. Craig tried to protect his honor and dignity by suing 16 Bitcoin developers who called him a liar. The judge looked through the case and found no reason to grant Wright's claim. Btw, developers did’t even bother sending their lawyers to court.

The Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has changed its virtual asset circulation rules. A significant change was the prohibition on so-called privacy coins such as ZCash and Monero. Organizations operating within the local jurisdiction are also prohibited from issuing and promoting this type of cryptocurrency. Well, you can't really blame a major cryptocurrency hub like Dubai for that. They provide transparency and demand it in return.
