Short-term yields on U.S. Treasuries have risen, as the market expects the Federal Reserve may need to raise short-term interest rates

U.S. short-term Treasury yields rose. Federal Reserve Chairman Waller emphasized in a highly anticipated speech that the Fed needs to curb rising consumer prices, alleviating some market concerns about its ability to combat inflation.During Waller's speech, short-term U.S. Treasuries were sold off, while long-term Treasuries rose. The yield on the two-year Treasury increased by 5 basis points to 4.28%, while the 30-year yield decreased by 1 basis point to 5.19%. These changes indicate that the market expects the Fed may need to raise short-term rates. Since Waller held his first press conference in June, bond traders have had doubts about his policy stance. At that time, Waller emphasized the need to lower inflation and showed a hawkish stance.Since the global economy reopened from the pandemic in 2021, U.S. inflation has remained above the Fed's 2% target. However, in July, the Fed again kept rates unchanged, and Waller did not indicate whether a rate hike might occur this year. Subsequently, long-term Treasury yields surged as traders demanded higher returns to compensate for the risks posed by rising inflation.Waller warned on Friday that inflation has not shown meaningful signs of slowing and stated that policymakers must be confident that inflation is improving; otherwise, the central bank "has work to do." He also reiterated that policymakers will bring the inflation rate back to the 2% target and emphasized that this goal is clear and fixed.

first_img OneKey reproduces the transaction replacement attack targeting the old version of the Ledger Ethereum application

The security team of the open-source wallet provider OneKey successfully replicated the exploitation of a vulnerability in the old version of the Ledger Ethereum application in a laboratory environment. OneKey's founder and CEO Wang Yishi stated that they executed a "transaction replacement attack" on Ledger Ethereum application version 1.22.1 by exploiting a previously patched vulnerability, allowing attackers to overwrite pending transactions while users review legitimate transactions.Ledger responded that exploiting this vulnerability requires controlling the communication between the device and the host, such as through malware, compromised wallet software, or malicious web pages. Ledger has added application layer protections in the Ethereum application version 1.22.2 released on August 13 and fixed the underlying issue in Secure SDK 26.6.1 on August 21. Ledger emphasized that no users were hacked as a result; this was merely a replication of the vulnerability in a laboratory environment.This security test occurred after the Coldcard vulnerability incident. Previously, the Coldcard wallet had a firmware vulnerability that posed security risks to some mnemonic phrase generation, but Ledger stated that its devices were not affected by this vulnerability because recovery phrases are generated by a certified random source built into the device's secure chip. The vulnerability replicated by OneKey is unrelated to mnemonic phrase generation but affects the way transactions are processed during the signing process.
