💸 Asia claims half the global crypto adoption chart

🎬 A blue-check account, a fake app, 108 malicious ads HBO Max has no standalone macOS app — and that gap is exactly what the attackers sold. They seized the verified u/hbomax Reddit account and ran 108 ads over ~48 hours, each offering an "official" desktop client that doesn't exist. 🔸 Mac victims got AMOS or MacSync — stealers targeting passwords, Telegram data, and wallet seed phrases 🔸 Clipboard hijackers swapped copied wallet addresses for attacker-controlled ones 🔸 C2 servers hid behind BSC smart contracts, letting hackers rotate infrastructure on the fly Reddit paused the ads after the campaign was flagged; victim counts remain unknown, per Malwarebytes. The streaming service itself wasn't breached — just its account. The verified checkmark did the rest. Decrypt

💸 Crypto as evidence A Swedish gang spent ten months moving 70 million krona ($7.1M) through crypto. Their alleged leader fled Sweden, landed on an Interpol Red Notice, and resurfaced in the UAE — where he was arrested simultaneously as six associates were picked up back home. The bigger surprise came from the transaction trail itself: following it led investigators beyond the laundering and into organised crime and contract killings. In Sweden, that's not an abstraction — police reported 23 bystanders killed in gangland shootings over three years, with gangs recruiting teenage hitmen through social media. Blockchain's anonymity has its fans. Two countries' worth of investigators, per Emirates News Agency, are not among them. Decrypt

🎬 Nathan Fielder made a documentary about Elizabeth Holmes Quick catch-up if you missed the saga: Holmes founded Theranos, convinced investors her tech could diagnose dozens of diseases from a single drop of blood, and — it couldn't. She was convicted of fraud in 2022 and has spent every moment since insisting she did absolutely nothing wrong. Now Nathan Fielder, a filmmaker whose entire gift is staying in character long enough to make everyone around him question the fabric of reality, has pointed that energy directly at her. The A24 documentary is called "You Can See Everything" and hits theaters October 16. A woman who never breaks character meeting a man who never breaks character. Someone's going to blink first. The trailer is out — good luck watching it without immediately rethinking everything you know about performance and belief. TechCrunch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGJSRFWALTI
