Recently, several noteworthy events have occurred both within and outside the crypto world, highlighting the importance of digital asset security and the strengthening of regulatory efforts.



On the evening of August 22, a phishing attack impersonating Uniswap resulted in losses of nearly one million dollars. The attacker exploited the Ethereum EIP-7702 mechanism to enable multiple transfers through a single authorization, making it difficult for the victims to notice. This incident serves as a reminder for users to be extra cautious when engaging in Crypto Assets transactions.

At the same time, Apple released an emergency security update on August 21 to fix a zero-day vulnerability that was exploited by hackers. This vulnerability can be triggered by malicious images, affecting iOS, iPadOS, and macOS systems. Apple strongly recommends that users update their systems immediately to protect asset security.

In terms of regulation, Taiwanese judicial authorities have filed lawsuits against several executives of BitShine and CoinW exchanges, accusing them of fraud, money laundering, and other charges, with the amount involved reaching up to $41.5 million. This indicates that governments around the world are intensifying their efforts to combat crimes related to Crypto Assets.

Finally, Interpol announced the results of the multinational operation codenamed "Serengeti 2.0". The operation involved 18 African countries, resulting in the arrest of 1,209 individuals, the recovery of approximately $97.4 million in funds, and the destruction of a large number of crime-related infrastructures associated with Crypto Assets.

This series of events reflects that, with the popularity of Crypto Assets, the associated security threats and criminal activities are also evolving. Users need to remain vigilant, while regulatory agencies need to strengthen cooperation to jointly maintain the healthy development of the digital asset ecosystem. At the same time, this highlights the importance of balancing technological innovation with security protection, prompting industry participants to continuously improve security mechanisms to provide users with a safer trading environment.

In the era of mystery boxes, no one should say that anyone is out of line.
