What if the device protecting your crypto was also watching you set it up?
This week, U.S., your Hard Working Crypto Sleuth, examines new findings in the Ledger–CryptoBilis investigation, including how an unauthorized hardware component captured recovery words during setup—and what an authenticity check can actually verify.
We also investigate:
• West African scam networks: An international disruption targeting fake profiles, fraudulent investment opportunities, and criminal operations exploiting trafficking victims.
• AI tools and wallet secrets: New research exposing the gap between what a tool says it does and the sensitive files it can actually reach.
• GhostX and GhostBat: Android malware that records PIN entry while the legitimate payment app continues working.
In Beginner’s Corner, we break down three different kinds of access: device permissions, token allowances, and recovery words—and why each requires a different response.
Plus, the HundredCoin spotlight explores making patience useful through research, verification, and better security habits, followed by community shout-outs.

You bought the hardware wallet to protect your crypto. What if the threat was already inside?
In Case File #82, U.S., your Hard Working Crypto Sleuth, investigates the Ledger–CryptoBilis story, including the confirmed unauthorized hardware implant in one affected device—and why the scope of the incident still matters.
We also examine Bitquery’s investigation into the $14.35 million 79AU liquidity-pool drain, where burned liquidity receipts did not eliminate dangerous token privileges, and CrowdStrike’s findings on ARTEX, an AI-assisted intrusion campaign targeting South Korean financial organizations.
Then we break down fake recovery traps, malicious approvals, and one crucial beginner lesson: replacing a device is not the same as creating a wallet with fresh keys.
Plus: the weekly market and ETF-flow recap, an Avalanche update, disciplined long-term thinking, and the HundredCoin spotlight on patience with a response plan.

You recognize the logo. You trust the account. Then comes the instruction that puts your crypto at risk.
In Case File #81, U.S., your Hard Working Crypto Sleuth, investigates MetaMask’s staking infrastructure incident, NEAR Intents’ reported fund recovery, Microsoft’s hijacked X account, malicious Custom GPTs delivering ClickFix malware, and a fake iPhone preorder page carrying a DarkSword exploit attempt. Plus, a Base vault incident raises fresh questions about who can approve access to your money.
We also cover the crypto market, Avalanche’s Helicon.1 release, and three checks before your next click: where you are, who’s asking, and what you’re authorizing. The HundredCoin spotlight brings it home: make the pause count.
Coverage: September 28–October 4, 2026, with updates through October 6.

You protected your seed phrase. But who else has permission to move your money?
In Case File #80, U.S., your Hard Working Crypto Sleuth, investigates the access hiding behind exchanges, bridges, AI plugins, and wallet approvals.
We break down Bitget’s revised $387.5 million incident accounting, the SingularityNET / ASI bridge response, and compromised MemTensor memory packages. We also examine Cisco Talos’s CLOSEDQUORUM research—separating AI-driven malware capabilities from confirmed real-world attacks.
In Beginner’s Corner, we tackle why disconnecting a website doesn’t necessarily revoke its token allowance, how permissions create exposure beyond your seed phrase, and the four questions to ask every tool you trust.
Plus: the macro backdrop, Bitcoin ETF demand, Avalanche developments, and a personal HundredCoin spotlight on how a 100-hour lock bought time when a fake job scam hit home.
Attackers don’t always break the lock. Sometimes, they find something already authorized to open it.

This week on Crypto Weekly Recap, we’re looking at one of the biggest weaknesses in crypto security: trust.
North Korea-linked hackers reportedly used fake job interviews to compromise thousands of devices and crypto wallets around the world. A compromised Cloudflare API key turned trusted Brevo website infrastructure into malware delivery. A custom Safe wallet module exposed millions in rsETH. And fraudulent government requests reportedly led to sensitive Revolut customer information being disclosed.
Different attacks. Same lesson:
Trust is not verification.
We also break down this week’s market action, Federal Reserve policy, Bitcoin and Ethereum momentum, ETF flows, leverage, and a strong week for Avalanche.
In Beginner’s Corner, we explain why you should never run unknown code on the same computer that holds your wallets, passwords, exchange sessions, or sensitive accounts.
And in the HundredCoin Spotlight, we connect this week’s security lesson back to patience, discipline, and the value of slowing down before you act.
I’ve personally been caught in a fake-job crypto scam before, so this week’s main story hits especially close to home.
Security First. Hype Last.
Stay patient.
Stay disciplined.
Stay dangerous to scammers.
Keep it 💯.

You logged into the real trading platform. The malicious browser extension was already waiting.
This week on Crypto Weekly Recap, U.S., your Hard Working Crypto Sleuth, breaks down extensions targeting Axiom and Padre/Terminal users—stealing session tokens and wallet-related data without asking for a seed phrase. The data-theft capability is confirmed; actual crypto losses remain unknown.
We also follow Liquid Network’s partial recovery and continuing redemption restrictions, fake recovery messages targeting worried users, the Xinbi enforcement action, and RubyGems’ disclosure about malicious software packages.
In Beginner’s Corner: your balance is visible—but can you actually get it out? Plus, the HundredCoin Spotlight connects patience to the security lessons I learned firsthand.

What if the threat wasn’t the blockchain—but something you had already learned to trust?
In Case File #77, U.S., your Hard Working Crypto Sleuth, investigates three attacks that turned ordinary crypto workflows into dangerous attack surfaces.
First, the Sality botnet spent eight years using EggJagger malware to silently replace copied Bitcoin and Ethereum addresses before victims approved their transactions.
Then, a shared Cosmos EVM accounting flaw exposed six blockchain networks, proving that shared code can create a shared blast radius.
Finally, the “Superior” campaign transformed legitimate Chrome and Edge extensions into wallet drainers, credential stealers, and fake Ledger and Trezor recovery prompts.
We’ll also break down this week’s market conditions, Bitcoin’s battle near $80,000, Avalanche’s latest institutional payment development, and why patience can serve as a security checkpoint.
This week’s lesson is simple:
Trusted does not mean safe forever.
Slow down before you copy.
Slow down before you trust.
Slow down before you sign.
Security First. Hype Doesn’t Last.
Keep it 💯.
