first_img A Canadian man was extradited to the United States for hijacking a supercomputer at an American university for mining

According to Decrypt, the U.S. Department of Justice announced on Tuesday that a Canadian man has been extradited to the United States, facing charges of assisting in the intrusion of university computers, stealing login credentials, and secretly mining cryptocurrency.A federal grand jury in the Western District of New York indicted 35-year-old Ryan James Roach, a resident of Saskatchewan, and 41-year-old Mathiew James Stubbings, a resident of Ontario, on charges including conspiracy to obtain and damage protected computer information, obtaining protected computer information, and intentionally damaging protected computers, which could result in a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.The indictment shows that between June 2016 and December 2019, the two targeted U.S. educational institutions with supercomputers, first researching their cybersecurity weaknesses before executing the intrusions. Once inside the systems, they allegedly deployed malware, stole login credentials, and forced the victims' computers to mine for them.Victims included institutions in New York, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Massachusetts. The two reportedly used virtual private servers registered under false names in multiple countries to send malware and mining programs and store stolen credentials, while also forwarding attacks through other victims' compromised computers to hide their identities.Roach was extradited from Canada on October 28 and was arraigned in Rochester, New York, where he is currently detained awaiting a detention hearing. Extradition proceedings for Stubbings are still ongoing in Canada. This case falls under cryptocurrency hijacking, where attackers use others' computers to mine, leaving the victims to bear the electricity costs and suffer performance degradation. The Department of Justice did not specify the particular cryptocurrencies mined by the two.Google's Threat Intelligence team released a report on Monday stating that attackers are expected to increasingly prioritize LLMjacking over traditional resource thefts like cryptocurrency hijacking, which involves hijacking corporate access to AI models and shifting the billing.

BTCPay Server: Vulnerability in the old version led to theft of funds from hot wallets, users are advised to migrate immediately

The open-source Bitcoin payment processing tool BTCPay Server has received multiple reports of unauthorized fund theft from its Bitcoin and Litecoin hot wallets on the platform. The project team released an investigation update confirming that the attack targeted servers running BTCPay Server version 2.4.1 or earlier. The attackers exploited a vulnerability that was fixed in version 2.4.2 on August 7, gaining administrative access to the servers through various methods and draining the hot wallet funds.BTCPay Server founder Nicolas Dorier confirmed that only servers running versions prior to 2.4.2, particularly version 2.4.1, were affected; users running the latest version 2.4.7 have not reported any credible losses. Some affected service providers, including LunaNode, have automatically shut down at-risk older instances. The official recommendation for users still using version 2.4.1 or earlier is to immediately transfer any remaining funds in old hot wallets to a new wallet created with a completely new mnemonic, take the old server offline while retaining relevant logs, and then install the latest version on a new virtual machine and connect the new wallet, ensuring not to restore the old server entirely to the new machine.Simply updating the software version is not enough to eliminate the risk, as attackers may have gained persistent access to the old server. Funds stored outside the server, such as those in hardware wallets, were not affected by this incident. The vulnerability is related to a flaw fixed in August of this year, when attackers had manipulated nodes by obtaining LND administrative credentials. As of now, this vulnerability has not been assigned a CVE number and is not listed in CISA's known exploited vulnerabilities catalog.

NVIDIA's stock price rose, and the demand for AI chips was not affected by the Democratic Party's victory

Despite the possibility that the Democratic Party may push for stricter restrictions on data center construction after winning the election, Nvidia's stock price still rose on Wednesday. This is because the positive performance reported by major companies in the chip industry indicates that market concerns about delays in data center construction have not immediately affected Nvidia and other hardware companies.Customers are still rushing to stockpile artificial intelligence hardware, even though it is currently uncertain whether there will be suitable locations to install these devices in the future. The defeat of Republican governors in Texas and Ohio in the election means that the construction of artificial intelligence infrastructure will face stricter scrutiny.Mark Haefele, Chief Investment Officer at UBS Global Wealth Management, wrote in a research report: "Increased oversight from Congress does not necessarily hinder the artificial intelligence investment cycle. Comprehensive federal-level restrictions will face legislative and presidential power constraints, while state and local regulations will still have a greater impact on the timing and location of data center construction." If Democratic politicians indeed push for stringent measures to limit the construction of artificial intelligence data centers, Nvidia will face greater challenges in the future.However, the market is currently more focused on signs that chip demand remains strong after the stock's recent weak performance.
