According to a report by the Korean News Agency, the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) of South Korea announced that it will collaborate with the Financial Services Commission and the banking industry to promote several new financial consumer protection regulations. These include completing the establishment of standard business norms by the end of the year and fully restricting microcredit institutions from issuing general credit loans to active-duty military personnel.Data shows that the loan scale for active-duty military personnel from the top 30 credit institutions registered with the Financial Services Commission in South Korea has surged from 350 million Korean won at the end of 2022 to 24.2 billion Korean won (approximately 17 million USD) by the end of 2025. South Korean regulators pointed out that some active-duty military personnel blindly invest borrowed funds into high-risk investments such as virtual assets (cryptocurrencies) and online gambling, which is one of the main reasons for excessive debt.In addition, the Financial Supervisory Service of South Korea will also promote the expansion of flexible banking outlet operations and shorten the notification period for long-unused prepaid electronic payment accounts from 1 year to 3 months.

NVIDIA's Vice President of Deep Learning Research, Bryan Catanzaro, posted on X: "A forged open letter is circulating online, claiming that I am involved and demanding that the NVIDIA board restore Jensen Huang to the position of CEO. This letter is clearly fake, and even if it were real, I would not sign it. Jensen Huang no longer serving as NVIDIA's CEO deeply saddens me. At the same time, I fully support the NVIDIA board and trust the decisions they have made. I have worked with Colette (the current interim CEO) for many years and know she is an outstanding leader. I fully support her."

A serious security vulnerability has been found in the open-source server software Apache HTTP Server. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to corrupt server memory by crafting requests when they have access to the affected service, allowing them to execute code with the privileges of the web service process. The vulnerability is located in the HTTP/2 module, and attackers can trigger a concurrent synchronization flaw without authentication, leading to heap memory corruption. If successfully exploited, it allows code execution with the privileges of the Apache worker process and access to data that the process can read.The affected range includes Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.55 to 2.4.70, as well as mod_h2 versions 2.0.8 to 2.0.42 used separately from GitHub. Red Hat stated that the risk involves servers that enable HTTP/2 through the Protocols directive, including H2 for encrypted connections and H2C for plaintext connections. Administrators need to check both global configurations and individual virtual host configurations; if a CDN or reverse proxy is deployed on the website frontend, it is also necessary to check whether the Apache origin server can be accessed directly via HTTP/2.Apache released HTTP Server 2.4.71 on November 11, 2026, and it is recommended that websites using Apache upgrade immediately. If an upgrade cannot be performed temporarily, HTTP/2 can be disabled as a temporary measure. The issue lies in the assign_headers() function of mod_http2. HTTP/2 allows multiple requests to be processed concurrently over the same connection, and the affected code has a synchronization flaw when handling shared resources, which may lead to heap memory corruption. This vulnerability was discovered by the Anthropic OSS Scanner open-source project and the Google Cloud vulnerability research team. Anthropic reported it to the Apache Foundation on October 26, and the Google Cloud team reported the same vulnerability on November 3.

According to The Block, the New York State Department of Financial Services has issued new guidelines for advertising and marketing requirements for licensed cryptocurrency entities in the state, which include avoiding misleading or deceptive content. Acting Superintendent Kaitlin Asrow stated in a press release that today's guidelines reinforce the commitment to protecting New York residents and ensure that advertising and marketing practices in the virtual currency space are clear, comprehensive, and accessible.The New York State Department of Financial Services announced on the same day that these guidelines apply to virtual currency entities licensed or chartered by the department, requiring them to establish and implement policies and procedures for advertising and marketing materials related to virtual currency products, services, and activities, with a focus on content accuracy, clear disclosures, and governance and review processes. Relevant entities must update their policies and procedures according to the guidelines by May 10, 2027, review them at least once a year, and maintain records for regulatory inspection. The Department of Financial Services will assess the implementation and effectiveness of these policies and procedures through examinations and ongoing supervision.Common practices listed in the guidelines include: reviewing marketing claims to ensure they fairly present products, services, or activities, are supported by evidence and verifiable, and do not contain exaggerated or false statements about performance or regulatory status; customer disclosures should be clear, prominent, easily understandable to the general audience, and clearly identify the entity providing the products, services, or activities; establishing governance review processes for advertising and marketing materials, designating responsible parties, conducting due diligence on third-party promoters, and promptly monitoring and addressing instances of fraudulent or improper use of their name or brand by others.

Bitcoin News posted on platform X that Trezor confirmed that three Safe 5 devices sold by CryptoBilis contained malicious implants that could steal recovery phrases and password phrases. The implants intercept screen data and send it to servers controlled by attackers via mobile networks.Trezor stated that the released firmware 2.13.1 can disable the discovered implants, and its dealer network has been reduced by about 80%; currently, no customers have reported stolen funds. Customers who purchased devices through CryptoBilis starting in March 2026 can apply for replacements, and affected users should still transfer their funds to wallets using a brand new recovery seed, as firmware updates cannot eliminate previously leaked information.

Inflation data for October in the United States sends multiple warning signals. The data shows that the core CPI rose by 0.3% month-on-month, higher than the market expectation of 0.2%, exceeding expectations for the third consecutive month; the overall CPI rose by 0.4% month-on-month, also above expectations. The impact of rising energy prices is spreading to areas such as food and transportation, and service inflation remains robust, further complicating the Federal Reserve's efforts to control inflation.Specifically, food prices in the U.S. rose by 0.5% month-on-month in October, with grocery prices recording the largest monthly increase since April; urban transportation service prices saw the largest monthly increase since 2020, and prices for airline tickets and delivery services also increased. Additionally, service prices excluding energy and housing rents rose by 0.4% month-on-month, while owners' equivalent rent increased by 0.3%.AI investments are bringing new cost pressures. Over the past three months, the annualized price increase for computers and peripheral devices in the U.S. reached 25%, and electricity prices rose by 0.9% month-on-month in October, marking the largest increase in six months. Morgan Stanley estimates that AI-related factors have contributed about 6 basis points to the core CPI this year, with the current impact still relatively limited, but as data center investments expand, related pressures may rise further.In terms of monetary policy, Chicago Fed President Goolsbee described the latest inflation data as approaching an alarming level. Fed Governor Waller previously stated that if the core CPI month-on-month increase reaches 0.3% or higher, the December meeting should consider raising interest rates by 50 basis points. Goldman Sachs has included a forecast for an additional 25 basis point increase in March 2027, expecting that the target range for the federal funds rate will rise to 4.25% to 4.50%. However, some economists warn that there is a lag in the transmission of energy prices, and over-reliance on current data may lead to excessive tightening of monetary policy.
