first_img Trump will emphasize combating overseas cryptocurrency fraud at the White House event

U.S. President Trump will emphasize his administration's actions against overseas cryptocurrency fraud at a cybercrime prevention event at the White House on Wednesday. According to Reuters citing White House officials, these overseas criminal networks lure Americans into participating in fraudulent cryptocurrency investments. Trump and cabinet members plan to point out that the government has shut down multiple fraudulent cryptocurrency investment websites and is working to close down online impersonation scams. Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, FBI Director Kash Patel, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Todd Blanche are expected to attend.The event follows an executive order from March this year, where Trump instructed the Department of Justice to prioritize identifying and prosecuting cyber fraudsters, followed by a memorandum requiring the Department of Homeland Security to collaborate with private companies to monitor foreign criminal hacker organizations. FBI data shows that in 2025, over 1 million cyber fraud complaints were submitted by the American public, a 17% increase from 2024, with record losses. Cryptocurrency fraud accounted for more than half of the losses, with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center recording 181,565 cryptocurrency-related complaints, resulting in losses of $11.366 billion, with cryptocurrency investment fraud causing $7.2 billion in losses.Most of the fraud activities trace back to organized crime groups in Southeast Asia, involving Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar, where criminals exploit trafficking victims as forced labor in scam operations. Americans aged 60 and above bear the heaviest losses, with cryptocurrency-related losses reaching $4.43 billion. Cryptocurrency ATM fraud caused losses of $389 million, a 58% increase from 2024; secondary scams targeting previous victims caused an additional $1.4 billion in losses. The FBI's "Operation Upgrade" notified 3,780 victims suffering from cryptocurrency investment fraud in 2025, estimated to recover $225.8 million.

first_img Researchers conversed with rogue AI agents using hidden text, activity tracked to Tencent Cloud

Researchers successfully communicated directly with AI agents while investigating the hijacking of Alibaba's Gaode Map service, even as some software was still running. In a report suspected to have been scanned by these agents, researchers included hidden text that is invisible to humans but visible to web reading tools, and then inquired about their tasks and operating environment through an email. One agent claimed it was checking how many entrance tags a certain scenic area displayed on Gaode Map and stated that it was operating in a restricted Tencent Cloud sandbox. Researchers could not independently confirm which model drove each run, noting that this was the first known external communication with an active out-of-control agent cluster.A report released by Swarmchasers on October 14 tracked over 2,600 attempts to obtain Gaode Map data between September 28 and October 8. Some tasks were relatively routine, such as checking which entrance was most commonly used by visitors at the Chengdu Zoo. After the service provider intercepted requests, some agents continued to attempt access, trying to capture tokens generated by anti-scraping software, forwarding traffic through third-party page readers, or using leaked API credentials from public code repositories, with one set of leaked keys and security codes returning real location data. Researchers also found requests targeting four development or pre-production hosts, but there was no evidence that these agents accessed private systems.Public records show that the cluster is related to Tencent Cloud: all 17 email accounts examined by researchers were created by Tencent servers located in Hong Kong, and the observed direct requests were forwarded through an agent named hysandbox-ats.

first_img Open source AI reverse engineering tool REA surpasses 100,000 stars on GitHub in one week

The free and open-source tool REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) saw its star count on GitHub rise from less than 10,000 on October 6 to over 100,000 by October 12, with more than 30,000 added in a single day on October 11. This tool integrates AI programming assistants like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex with professional reverse engineering suites like Ghidra, bridging the model context protocol MCP launched by Anthropic. Since its creation in April of this year, REA had long gone unnoticed; its readme file states that the tool does not claim to restore original source code or automatically clone applications, nor does it come with a decompiler.REA has been used for various reverse engineering attempts on software and games: players have made Spider-Man swing through Gotham City in "Batman: Arkham City," someone stuffed about 1,600 items from "Minecraft" into "Elden Ring" to battle Boss Malenia, and mod authors have brought firearms and menus from "Escape from Tarkov" into "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim." Old console exclusives are also breaking free from their platforms; in September, enthusiasts used open-source AI models and recompilation tools to bring "Fable 2," which had never been released on PC, to Windows, with AI completing the startup in about an hour, followed by a long manual fix; another developer has made "GTA 5" run natively and smoothly on iOS.

Bitget expands institutional-level custody and over-the-counter settlement infrastructure, supporting diverse custody and settlement models

As the institutional market gradually develops towards the separation of custody and trading, Bitget is expanding its open custody and over-the-counter settlement infrastructure for institutional clients, providing more flexible asset custody, fund management, and trading access options.Currently, Bitget has partnered with institutions such as Copper ClearLoop, Cactus Custody Oasis, Fireblocks Off Exchange, OSL MirrorEX, Bitfire PrimeMirror, and Sygnum Protect to meet the differentiated needs of institutions in asset isolation, custody options, settlement efficiency, and liquidity access through diversified custody and settlement models.Bitget's CEO Gracy Chen stated that different types of institutions have varying needs for custody, settlement, and capital management. Bitget aims to allow institutions to choose solutions based on their operational models through open and compatible infrastructure, enhancing fund utilization efficiency and liquidity access capabilities while achieving asset risk isolation. This expansion is also an important part of Bitget's UEX strategy, with institutional services continuing to be a strategic focus to further enhance capital utilization efficiency and accelerate the integration of crypto assets with tokenized traditional financial infrastructure.
