  • New advanced X account takeover attack targets crypto community
    Cointelegraph.com - 10:17 Sep 25, 2025
    A new, hard-to-spot phishing campaign is hijacking crypto personalities’ X accounts by abusing X’s app authorization system to bypass passwords and 2FA. A new sophisticated phishing campaign is targeting the X accounts of crypto personalities, using tactics that bypass two-factor authentication and appear more credible than traditional scams. According to a Wednesday X post by crypto developer Zak Cole, a new phishing campaign leverages X’s own infrastructure to take over the accounts of crypto personalities. “Zero detection. Active right now. Full account takeover,” he said. Cole highlighted that the attack does not involve a fake login page or password stealing. Instead, it leverages X application support to gain account access while also bypassing two-factor authentication. Read more
  • Australia drafts law to tighten oversight of crypto exchanges

The hearing will be led by the Finance Committee’s chair, Mike Crapo, on Wednesday, with Coinbase vice president of tax Lawrence Zlatkin and Coin Center policy director Jason Somensatto to testify, according to the notice released on Wednesday. It falls in line with the White House Digital Asset Working Group’s crypto recommendations in July, which called on lawmakers to recognize crypto as a new asset class and tailor existing tax rules for securities and commodities to digital assets.

  • US senators signal resistance to market structure over ’foreign crypto deals’
    Cointelegraph.com - 21:34 Sep 24, 2025
    No scheduled consideration of a market structure bill appeared on Senate calendars as of Wednesday, and pushback from Democrats could challenge what is expected to be a tight vote. Two Democratic lawmakers on the US Senate Banking Committee and Senate Agriculture Committee, expected to vote on a market structure bill soon, have signaled that they would oppose the legislation without an investigation into two White House officials. In a Tuesday letter to officials in the US State Department, Commerce Department and Department of Ethics, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Elissa Slotkin called for authorities to investigate US President Donald Trump’s AI and crypto czar, David Sacks, and his Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff. The two Democratic lawmakers signaled that, without information as to whether “politically connected crypto interests are undermining our national security,” they would not support legislation to establish a digital asset market structure currently moving through the Senate.

  • Stablecoins need consumer protections to unseat incumbents: Crypto exec
    Cointelegraph.com - 19:35 Sep 24, 2025
    Stablecoins feature 24/7, near-instant cross-border settlement, but retail consumers are waiting for guarantees against fraud and disputes. Stablecoins won’t unseat incumbent payment platforms, including Visa and Mastercard, until the blockchain tokens feature robust consumer protections, according to Guillaume Poncin, chief technology officer of payment company Alchemy. Traditional payment companies offer chargebacks, fraud protection, disputed transaction resolution and credit features that consumers have come to expect. Stablecoin projects must integrate these features to attract the everyday person, Poncin told Cointelegraph. Consumer protection features can be embedded directly in smart contracts, while stablecoin issuers and payment platforms can fund their own insurance pools for payouts in cases of fraud, Poncin said. He said traditional payment rails and stablecoins will merge: Read more
