🚨 There’s a large-scale supply chain attack in progress: the NPM account of a reputable developer has been compromised. The affected packages have already been downloaded over 1 billion times, meaning the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk.

The malicious payload works by silently swapping crypto addresses on the fly to steal funds.

If you use a hardware wallet, pay attention to every transaction before signing and you're safe.

If you don’t use a hardware wallet, refrain from making any on-chain transactions for now.

It’s still unclear whether the attacker is also stealing seeds from software wallets directly at this stage.



Wow! The entire crypto space (ie. just about every browser based wallet, extension or website) may be at risk as JavaScript itself suffers a hack injecting malicious code designed to hijack transactions for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Tron (TRX), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

I immediately checked all my Gold & Silver, but couldn't see any signs of " injected malicious code ".

I will keep my stack isolated for the time being, just in case.

:ROFLMAO:
 
ANYTHING & EVERTHING Invented/Constructed/Implemented by Man can Hacked/Twisted/Destroyed by Man.

Gold & Silver are Natural Creations, not of Man.

So long after Civilization & Man crumble back into the Dust, the Gold & Silver will still Be, just as they always were.

:cool:
 
Update on the NPM attack: The attack fortunately failed, with almost no victims.

It began with a phishing email from a fake npm support domain that stole credentials and gave attackers access to publish malicious package updates. The injected code targeted web crypto activity, hooking into Ethereum, Solana and other chains to hijack transactions, and replacing wallet addresses directly in network responses.

The attackers’ mistakes caused crashes in CI/CD pipelines, which led to early detection and limited impact. Still, this is a clear reminder: if your funds sit in a software wallet or on an exchange, you’re one code execution away from losing everything. Supply chain compromises remain a powerful malware delivery vector, and we’re also seeing more targeted attacks emerge.

Hardware wallets are built to withstand these threats. Features like Clear Signing let you confirm exactly what’s happening, and Transaction Checks flag suspicious activity before it’s too late.

The immediate danger may have passed, but the threat hasn’t. Stay safe.

Over the last 5 + yrs I have come close quite a few time to investing in Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency

But every time I start looking seriously, I come across something that puts all the doubts back into the forefront of my thinking :unsure:

This is 1 such thing that I read in late December when Bitcoin had just passed $100,000 & pulled beck to $95,0000. I was thinking now was the time to buy in & watch Bitcoin blast back thru $100,000 & continue on.

I read the article ( link below ) & changed my mind. Bitcoin did go back thru $100,000 but then dropped to $76,000. I would have been stopped out before that level & would have lost money.

I have since decided to stick with my Relic's of Gold/Silver & just keep a steady rise with the true rate of inflation :cool:

 
A very reasonable cover of the Basic's of " Stablecoins ".

Personally I won't touch Stablecoins for reasons :- The regulations for the issuer of a Stablecoin are very light & there is no formal Auditing. 2 red flags straight up 😲

The main issue I have though is that if the issuer of the Stablecoins that u are holding goes " Bankrupt " u loose any chance to convert your Stablecoin back into $ Dollars.

Think " Bernie Madoff " situation. Everything looks Legitimate & the " Issuer " of the Stablecoins u are using looks to be a solid business & everything is fine, up to the day that SHTF. U wake up to the news that the " Legitimate Business " that was the issuer of ur " Stablecoin " has just filed Bankruptcy & ur Stablecoins are, at best, Frozen, at worst, just dead & gone.

Stablecoins are a newer " Wild West " financial product that is just another blow off of the " Everything Bubble " that the US Gov is going to use to push US Debt onto the Public ( Stablecoins backed by US Treasuries ) & when the Financial System finally Implodes, Stablecoins will just join the US Fiat $ that is flushed down the Shithole of Debt Default or Hyperinflation :ROFLMAO:

Doesn't sound very stable
