According to a report by South Korea's "JoongAng Ilbo," a statement obtained from a former head of equipment investment at Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT), who has a background at Samsung Electronics, reveals that the former CEO of CXMT, Wang Ningguo, summoned the Korean team, including the individual in question, from October to December 2016. He demanded they bring back Samsung Electronics' Process Recipe Plan (PRP) and equipment information, threatening to report them to the South Korean government if they failed to do so, and warned them to verify their connections and not to lie. The individual stated that they felt scared at the time. The report mentioned that CXMT's management referred to Samsung Electronics as "Huangshan."After working at Samsung Electronics for 28 years, the individual joined CXMT and was prosecuted for allegedly leaking and using Samsung's 1.6 trillion won investment in the world’s first 18-nanometer DRAM process without authorization. In April of this year, they were sentenced to seven years in prison in the first trial and are currently in the second trial. The PRP includes the sequence of about 600 steps in DRAM manufacturing, equipment, condition values, and the companies and models of the equipment. Park, a former process design engineer at Samsung, hand-copied the relevant content into a 12-page notebook in September 2016 and brought it out, and is currently under an Interpol Red Notice.During the court hearing, the individual stated that there was a claim made during communications with the Chinese side that investment would not be provided to CXMT if they could not produce the 18-nanometer process. They later learned that the other party had wanted the technology from the very beginning, and CXMT initially had no plans to develop it independently. The pressure mentioned occurred before a meeting to prepare for the investment application. CXMT was established in 2016 with an investment of 14.4 billion yuan from Hefei Industrial Investment, a subsidiary of the Hefei municipal government, and had not been profitable for about 10 years, achieving its first annual profit last year with a net profit of 7.1 billion yuan.

Cosmos Labs disclosed that on September 22, Neutron encountered a governance attack that led to the theft of liquidity from protocols such as Astroport, with approximately 1.73 million ATOM subsequently transferred by the attacker to Cosmos Hub. The Cosmos Hub itself was not attacked, and user funds were not affected. To prevent the stolen ATOM from being transferred out, Hub validators temporarily paused the network for about 24.5 hours and resumed block production on September 23 based on the patched Gaia v28.3.0.Cosmos Labs stated that during the pause, 1.227 million ATOM remained in the attacker's Hub address. When the network was restored, these were transferred to a 4/6 multi-signature address composed of Nansen, Keplr, Enigma, Silknodes, Kiln, and Polkachu through a one-time change. Previously, about 500,000 ATOM had been exchanged for ETH via THORChain and could not be recovered; another 169,000 ATOM entered the attacker's address after the network was restored due to THORChain refunds and were sold after being transferred to Osmosis. The current multi-signature address holds approximately 1.227 million ATOM, which can only be returned after authorization from a Cosmos Hub governance proposal. The related funds will not be staked, lent, or traded. The Neutron team expects to submit a recovery plan and related governance proposals next week.
