In September, the U.S. CPI rose 3.7% year-on-year and 0.6% month-on-month, while the core CPI increased 2.6% year-on-year and 0.3% month-on-month, all exceeding market expectations. Following the data release, market bets on a 25 basis point rate hike by the Federal Reserve in October rose to about 40%, up from around 20% the previous day.The Federal Reserve just raised rates by 25 basis points last month, marking its first rate hike of 2023. The next rate decision will be announced on October 28, just 6 days before the U.S. midterm elections on November 3. Inflation continues to remain above the Federal Reserve's 2% target, and economic activity remains resilient, providing grounds for further rate hikes.Economists from institutions such as Jefferies and Nationwide believe that there is data support for rate hikes in both October and December. Some analysts also expect that the Federal Reserve may consider the timing of the elections and potential economic vulnerabilities, choosing to delay until December. Historical data shows that the Federal Reserve rarely raises rates in October or November before midterm elections, and the market will be paying attention to Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Walsh's remarks before entering the pre-meeting blackout period.

Gox CEO Mark Karpelès discussed the largest supply chain attack in the history of the cryptocurrency industry with Foundation CEO Zach Herbert.Mark Karpelès stated that he discovered a spy implant three weeks before the funds were stolen and contacted Ledger, but received no response. The implant was equipped with a hidden cellular modem that could directly read the mnemonic phrases displayed on the screen and bypass Ledger's own checks; even setting a passphrase would not prevent the mnemonic phrases from being stolen.Mark Karpelès mentioned that if he had $5 million, he could create an implant that would only be detectable through X-rays. The show also discussed the hardware wallet dealer model, the Malaysian dealer behind the attack, on-chain tracking of stolen crypto assets, the spread of the attack to Europe, reasons why Trezor was not targeted, hardware wallet security, and multi-party computation solutions.

According to Bitcoin.com, the LBTC exchange operation for the Bitcoin sidechain project Liquid Network has been suspended for 35 days.

Some LBTC holders are migrating funds through applications like Sideswap and Sideshift.ai, with one user stating that due to insufficient liquidity, the migration took several weeks, with a total spread and fees of about 5%.

According to X user @0xJohannes, a Ledger hardware wallet purchased from an official dealer in Europe a few weeks ago was found to contain an unauthorized spy implant. The device has suspicious circuitry inside that genuine Ledger hardware does not possess, indicating it may have been physically tampered with before sale.The implant is suspected to be an older version, as newer versions typically hide components behind the screen. Funds in the affected devices have not yet been stolen. Currently, there are suspected case reports in Asia, South America, and Europe. If the original security components remain intact, Ledger's software Genuine Check cannot detect unauthorized physical modifications.

On-chain detective Specter posted on their personal channel that between October 9 and 10, the attacker addresses related to the CryptoBilis Ledger hardware wallet incident deposited 2990.3 ETH into Tornado Cash, worth approximately 7.45 million USD.Monitoring shows that the attacker previously withdrew funds to 14 addresses, then cross-chained to ZEC via NEAR Intents and processed for privacy. Specter stated that the attacker partially reused previous deposit addresses to submit withdrawal transactions, and some withdrawal transactions were initiated by wallets associated with the addresses that paid Gas fees during the theft, thereby linking the funds to the withdrawal actions.Currently, the attacker continues to transfer and hide the related funds. The previous CryptoBilis incident involved supply chain risks of the Ledger hardware wallet, and Ledger has stated that they are investigating and reminding relevant users to pay attention to device security.

Cryptocurrency analyst Darkfost stated that after the security incident involving Ledger dealer CryptoBilis, discussions in the community have also brought up other potentially related dealer names, including some Lazada merchants.Darkfost indicated that the full extent of the incident's impact is still difficult to confirm. Although Ledger has confirmed a connection to the CryptoBilis incident, it is still unclear whether CryptoBilis is the only affected dealer. He compiled a list of Ledger dealers that may be at risk, stating that these dealers are in close proximity and could potentially have their supply chains compromised simultaneously. However, Darkfost emphasized that this assessment is merely speculative and has not yet been confirmed.Darkfost suggested that if users have purchased Ledger devices from the relevant dealers in the past six months, they may consider transferring their assets to other secure devices until the investigation into the incident is complete. Additionally, he mentioned that users can refer to the guidelines published by security researcher MagicalTux to check their Ledger devices for any signs of tampering.
