Peer-to-peer trading platform NFT Trader suffered a massive security breach on Saturday afternoon (16), resulting in the unauthorized transfer of numerous valuable NFTs from renowned collections such as Bored Ape, Mutant Ape Yacht Club, World of Women, VeeFriends and Art Blocks. Losses exceed the million-dollar mark.
The action seeks to prevent future unauthorized transfers of digital assets. The company also emphasized the need for constant vigilance by users in protecting their digital assets.
Hacker demands ransom for NFTs
The person responsible for the attack, still unidentified, recorded a message on the blockchain to communicate his intentions, claiming that the initial objective was to eliminate “residual trash” on the platform.
However, the situation quickly escalated, with the hacker demanding ransoms in Ethereum (3 ETH and 0.6 ETH) for the return of NFTs from the Bored Apes and Mutant Apes collections.
The hacker returned a Bored Ape and 31 ETH to a user, in addition to returning some staked Bored Apes to their owners, keeping the rewards in ApeCoin.
In addition to the main attack, secondary hacks have been reported that resulted in the loss of other valuable NFTs, such as Cool Cats and Squiggles, from individual wallets.
The P2P trading platform is quite unknown to most NFT traders. Its website shows that its CEO is John Pak, working together with co-founders Mattia Migliore and an individual who goes by the pseudonym “Bruckzr”.
The community responded with a mix of confusion and concern given the unpredictable nature of the hacker's actions.

Woman falls for two cryptocurrency scams and loses R$344,000
The situation, which was already quite bleak, became even worse when, in an attempt to recoup her losses, she fell for a second blow. Searching the internet for help to recover the funds, she found a person who claimed to have the ability to help her recover the money lost in the first scam.
December 13, 2023 by Vinicius Golveia
A 60-year-old woman went through a traumatic experience when she lost more than 70 thousand dollars, around R$344 thousand, in two cryptocurrency scams. The incident serves as a warning about a new type of scheme that has emerged in the sector.
The first scam occurred when the woman, who lives in Canada, found an online advertisement for a company that promised guaranteed profits from cryptocurrencies.
The situation, which was already quite bleak, became even worse when, in an attempt to recoup her losses, she fell for a second blow. Searching the internet for help to recover the funds, she found a person who claimed to have the ability to help her recover the money lost in the first scam.
Driven by the hope of getting her savings back, she followed the scammer's instructions and downloaded another app. This act unfortunately gave the scammer access to your bank account, resulting in an additional loss of $15,000.
Fake Cryptocurrency Recovery
A new type of scam is gaining momentum in several online forums and Internet pages, such as Quora, a type of Yahoo Answers where scammers promise to recover funds lost in cryptocurrency scams.
Criminals pose as experts in recovering funds, using posts and links that lead to fraudulent websites.
A recent example includes a post that claims it is possible to recover cryptocurrencies lost to scammers. The text suggests that many people are unaware of this possibility due to misinformation or contact with false recovery experts.

Investor loses R$100,000 in cryptocurrencies after downloading pirated program

Trying to save a few bucks, a user turned to piracy to get some free software. What was cheap turned out to be expensive as the investor lost R$100,000 in cryptocurrencies at the end of the journey.
The story was shared on Reddit this Monday (11). In his report, davesp1 asks for help to understand how he was hacked, presenting some hypotheses about how he lost funds from not just one, but two wallets.
“I know I'm to blame here, but I'm trying to learn from this. I am aware that I can kiss these coins goodbye.”
The investor presented four possible causes for the hack. The first of these would be the use of 1Password to store your private keys, a serious error. The second, a bridge service in which you connected your wallet to exchange your Ethers (ETH) for Solana (SOL).
The third suspicion was a code he took from the internet to hide some Google Shopping results. Finally, the fourth, and likely root of the problem, is the download of pirated software.
With so many mistakes, the guy seemed to be testing his luck, and it was only a matter of time before he lost his cryptocurrencies.

Following his post, the investor analyzes each of his mistakes in detail. Regarding 1Password, software for storing passwords, the investor says that it contained another wallet with R$25,000 that the hacker did not touch. Therefore, the chance of your 1Password being compromised is low.
Regarding the bridge used to exchange ETH for SOL, he highlights that it is a reliable project. Going further, he states that he only connected one wallet to the service, ruling out this being the source of his loss.
The scripts pasted into your browser do not contain any malicious code. Therefore, he only has one last option left: pirated software, which he says is trustworthy.

With the value of cryptos on the rise, Binance demystifies doubts that keep investors away from the market.
The world's largest brokerage has reinforced initiatives to clarify misconceptions related to cryptocurrencies
The year 2023 has been very positive for those who invest in crypto assets. The main digital currency, Bitcoin, went from a level of US$16 thousand at the beginning of the year to close to US$35 thousand at the end of October. Anyone who bought Bitcoin at the turn of the year has already doubled the investment made. But an even larger portion of investors are outside this market because they believe in false beliefs involving the security and functioning of digital assets.
Binance, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, has done an important job of identifying and dispelling misconceptions related to the topic.
The brokerage's focus is on investor education. “Addressing misperceptions and harmful perceptions is an essential component of advancing knowledge about cryptocurrencies and blockchain. Therefore, we at Binance set out to identify and eliminate the most common ones”, comments Guilherme Nazar, general director of the broker in Brazil.
For the executive, ensuring that quality information circulates is also the role of companies that operate in this market segment. “One of the pillars of our work is education, which Binance offers free of charge, on various Web3 and economic topics, in several languages, including Brazilian Portuguese. This shows our commitment to the user and to the long-term sustainable development of the industry.”

Binance case creates opportunity for exchanges to grow, says CEO of Bitget.

In an interview with EXAME, responsible for one of the main crypto derivatives exchanges in the world talks about the market moment in 2023
This is what Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, assesses in an exclusive interview with EXAME. Responsible for running one of the world's leading cryptocurrency derivatives exchanges, the executive recognizes that Binance still has a significant market share, but that it has fallen from the highs seen in early 2023.
Since the agreement involving the United States government, Binance's share has fallen from more than 50% to around 40%, indicating that the gain of space from competitors "is already happening". "During this period, many exchanges, especially the larger ones, with proof of reserves and good user experience, such as Bitget, managed to increase their market share", he highlights.

However, the executive believes that the biggest positive point for the cryptocurrency market in 2023 was BlackRock's request to launch an exchange-traded fund (ETF) with a spot price for bitcoin in the United States. The possible launch of this product, highly anticipated by the market, should continue to be one of the sector's central points in 2024.

Today the United States already has futures ETFs, but by having spot ones they will need to have the bitcoin asset in custody for the ETF, so this leads to an inflow of institutional investment. At the same time, the ETF makes investing in bitcoin easier," explains Chen.

In her view, the main advantages that the ETF should bring involve a "reduction in investment costs, increased liquidity and compliance with stricter regulatory issues, which makes institutional investment more convenient".

“In 2023, we saw an inflow of investments into the market, the total value”, recalls the executive. For her, the trend is that this movement will not end in 2023 and will continue to benefit the cryptocurrency market in the coming months.

Binance is just the beginning
Christy Goldsmith Romero, commissioner of the CFTC, was tough when talking about the case. Romero added that: “there are no pirate ships in the US markets” and that “access to US customers is a privilege, not a right”.

The commissioner emphasized the CFTC's commitment to maintaining a robust approach against exchanges that violate US trading regulations. She highlighted that the CFTC has a zero-tolerance policy for tactics such as the use of private networks (VPN) or any attempt to circumvent the country's rules.

In a separate statement, CFTC Commissioner Caroline D. Pham affirmed the CFTC's global jurisdiction, stating unequivocally that the regulator will persist in its efforts against entities that are not based in the US. According to local laws, these companies cannot offer services to US customers without authorization.
