The Ethereum (ETH) price is hovering around the key $2,000 level after years of Bitcoin sales by Strategy shook the market, causing a split in on-chain activity: big traders are betting against the market while Hyperliquid traders quietly take the opposite side. Over the past month, ETH's value has dropped more than 13%. What makes recent events noteworthy isn't the selling itself, but who is on the other side of the trade. Here's how everything connects. The Trigger: Large ETH Holders React Negatively to Bitcoin's Troubles The catalyst came from Bitcoin, not Ethereum. When Strategy revealed it had sold Bitcoin…

More than 30 npm packages in Red Hat’s ‘@redhat-cloud-services’ namespace were hijacked as part of a supply-chain attack that distributed a new variant of the credential-stealing malware known as Shai-Hulud, given the name “Miasma.” The breach was uncovered by cybersecurity firms Aikido and OX Security, who discovered that numerous package versions had been injected with malware aimed at pilfering developer credentials, cloud secrets, SSH keys, CI/CD tokens, and additional sensitive data. Aikido reports that the tampered packages accumulate approximately 117,000 downloads per week. In a statement provided to BleepingComputer, Red Hat confirmed it pulled the compromised packages upon learning of…

The Qwen team at Alibaba has officially launched Qwen3.7-Plus. Developers can now access the model via Alibaba Cloud’s Bailian platform, which international customers know as Model Studio. This platform provides API access for third-party developers. The launch comes after Alibaba initially introduced the Qwen3.7 lineup in May. Qwen3.7-Plus Qwen3.7-Plus operates as a multimodal large language model. It has the ability to process both video and images, in addition to standard text instructions. Conversely, its counterpart, Qwen3.7-Max, is limited strictly to text. It’s important to note that this model focuses on visual comprehension rather than creation. It can observe and interpret…

As the successor to M2.7, M3 aims to be the first open-source model to merge advanced coding performance, massive context capacity, and native multimodal processing in one unified system. The technical report and model weights will be released within 10 days.…

Healthcare expenses keep going up year after year, and there’s no sign of things getting better anytime soon. For government workers, retiring brings even bigger financial challenges. Once you leave federal service, your Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) premiums can no longer come out of your paycheck before taxes hit. On top of that, Medicare introduces new costs, and most people naturally use more healthcare as they get older. A new report suggests that men should have about $212,000 set aside, and women around $252,000, just to have a 90% shot of covering their medical bills in retirement. Here’s the…

You can always purchase a pre-built cyberdeck instead.Lately, cyberdecks have been everywhere in the conversation. And I’ll admit — it’s a term I haven’t come across in ages. Before you think this has anything to do with Star Wars, let me clarify: the concept was actually dreamed up by…

The future of America’s cryptocurrency market could come down to a crucial Senate vote anticipated this month, and few are following it more closely than Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad. During an interview on Fox Business’ Mornings with Maria earlier today, Shirzad argued that the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act—referred to as the CLARITY Act—is the most consequential piece of financial regulation since Dodd-Frank, and that its passage is now within grasp. “This will be Congress’s most significant financial regulatory legislation in years, certainly since Dodd-Frank,” Shirzad stated. “What it does is bring much-needed clarity to the crypto industry.”…

A fresh supply chain attack campaign known as Miasma has targeted @redhat-cloud-services packages. The attackers compromised these packages to steal sensitive information like credentials and secrets from developers’ machines while also deploying a worm designed to spread on its own. “Think of this as a smaller-scale version of the Shai-Hulud attacks: it relies on identical core strategies such as running during installation, gathering credentials, targeting CI/CD pipelines, exfiltrating encrypted data, and potentially spreading further,” Socket explained. The identity of the attackers remains unclear. This is largely due to the fact that TeamPCP, a well-known cybercrime group, previously open-sourced the tools…
