The team behind Ethereum gaming platform Immutable has been accused of “embarrassing behavior” and covering up a security incident after it shared few warnings about Discord phishing links. Early on Monday, crypto sleuth ZachXBT pointed out via X (formerly Twitter) that the Immutable Discord server had been “compromised” for a brief period this weekend. He then claimed that Immutable made “zero announcements” across its official channels, warning the company that it “comes across as if you are trying to cover up the security incident…” However, Immutable has since claimed that an internal employee used the Discord channel to warn about the malicious links within two hours of the incident. Thanks @zachxbt. An Immutable employee posted in our discord within 2 hours of the incident, with the issue contained, but clearly we can retro how we publicly share comms. For full transparency, here is our security team’s summary. At 4:05 PM UTC on 21 Sep 2024, a community… ...

Arthur Hayes is the co-founder of BitMex, a cryptocurrency investor, and an influencer with half a million followers on X. Recently bullish on Pendle (PENDLE), Hayes surprised the market by offloading over half his position far below the $10 target. On September 11, Hayes made a bullish post on PENDLE, predicting a $10 target when integrated with Bitcoin (BTC) DeFi. Ten days later, however, he publicly disclosed that Maelstrom Fund, Arthur Hayes’s family office fund, was reducing its PENDLE position. “As you can see Maelstrom Fund is reducing its PENDLE position. Even after the reduction it is still one of our largest positions. We still fully believe that PENDLE will be the leader in crypto interest rate derivatives. And we plan to profit off of their success. We have reduced our position to fund a special situation. Those who monitor our wallets will get a glimpse as to what that is in the very near future.” – Arthur Hayes, on X ...

Pepe Unchained ($PEPU) continues its hot streak, with over $13.6 million raised in its fundraising efforts.  The influx of fresh capital in recent days has propelled the new Pepe closer to the $14 million funding milestone, coinciding with Binance’s meme coin listing frenzy that sent First Neiro On Ethereum ($NEIRO) to the top of the meme coin charts, achieving a remarkable 1,856% increase in just the past 48 hours.  As Pepe Unchained celebrates its three-month anniversary, it is on track to get the same $NEIRO treatment post-ICO.  If $PEPU does make it to Binance’s spot listing, its current price of $0.0098 could offer a front-row seat to a potential moon ride. Two days ago, $NEIRO was just like $PEPU until Binance lifted it to stardom.  However, for would-be $PEPU investors, the front-row seat might be reduced to a second-row seat as the price will jump to $0.00981 in 24 hours as the next funding round commences. ...

Hadsel, Norway – Source: Wikipedia In Hadsel , Norway, the closure of the Stokmarknes Datasenter Bitcoin mining facility has led to a significant spike in local electricity prices.

Crypto enthusiasts were shown singing and dancing on a 10-hour flight from Dubai to Singapore, in a first-of-its-kind PR stunt hosted by startup Redacted. Marketed as the “first-ever web3 sky event,” around 250 attendees enjoyed “connections, gifts, perks, and real conversations with Web3 legends.” In an onboard speech made by Redacted’s co-founder Shan Kumar, it appears that Qatar Airways crew were “rugpulled” into thinking it would be a subdued networking event — but got more than they bargained for. “You know what, the Qatar Airways staff are like this is the last time we’re ever gonna host a Web3 plane,” Kumar said during the flight. “ And to be honest, that was the goal .” “The goal, before we got in, was we wanna mak...
