The XRP Ledger recently fixed a payment system vulnerability that could be traced back to 2015. This vulnerability could allow attackers to bypass the system's calculation limits on token exchange amounts through a specially designed payment transaction, generating and spending large amounts of XRP out of thin air, undermining the mechanism that caps the total supply of XRP at 10 billion.It was disclosed that attackers could create hundreds of accounts, allowing these accounts to post offers to exchange a small amount of tokens for a large amount of XRP, and then execute a transaction simultaneously. Due to a flaw in the software's calculation of the total transaction amount, the seller's account could receive the full XRP, while the buyer's account would need to pay almost nothing. Researchers Cayden Liao and Veria AI reported the vulnerability on September 22, and RippleX subsequently reproduced the attack and confirmed that the generated XRP could be used in subsequent transactions. RippleX stated that there is currently no evidence that this vulnerability has been exploited on any public network. The development team released version 3.4.1 of xrpld on September 25 to fix the vulnerability.

The photolithography equipment manufacturer ASML will uniformly raise the prices of replacement parts supplied to South Korea by 10%, including all parts of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and deep ultraviolet (DUV) photolithography equipment, effective from January next year. According to industry news on the 10th, ASML's headquarters proposed this plan to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix through its Korean subsidiary early last month, which was confirmed after negotiations between the procurement departments of both parties; regularly procured consumable parts, as well as major components replaced due to failure or performance decline, are included in the price increase range.Photolithography equipment consists of a large number of components, including optical systems, light sources, and precision drive devices, and the cost of continuous operation will rise. ASML has previously adjusted the prices of related components individually, mainly during significant raw material price increases or difficulties in procuring specific materials, making a uniform 10% increase rare.

On October 9, reports indicated that the significant increase in storage chip costs has forced Apple to raise prices and suppress demand. Apple has requested some suppliers to reduce the production of recently released iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max components. A journalist verified with an Apple supply chain company, where a representative stated that after Apple provided new shipping guidance, orders for the iPhone 18 Pro decreased, while orders for the iPhone 18 Pro Max increased, resulting in little overall change in order volume.Another supply chain representative mentioned that the rumors are clearly one-sided. Due to strong demand for the iPhone 18 Pro Max, Apple adjusted some iPhone 18 Pro orders to the iPhone 18 Pro Max, with the total not decreasing, which benefits the high-end supply chain for the Pro Max. In September, Apple released the iPhone 18 Pro series, and due to product planning adjustments, the basic model of the iPhone 18 has not yet been launched. The starting prices for the two models released this time are 9,999 yuan and 10,999 yuan, which is an increase compared to the iPhone 17 Pro series.During the initial sales in mid-September, a journalist observed outside the official Apple retail store in Shenzhen that the buyback market for the iPhone 18 Pro was relatively weak, with some scalpers not purchasing, and even the buyback price was lower than the official starting price. Currently, the supply of the iPhone 18 Pro is relatively sufficient, with staff indicating that only the black version of the 512GB model is in stock, while other memory versions have ample supply. The iPhone 18 Pro Max has not yet been made available for purchase offline.

Former FTX Chief Operating Officer Constance Wang posted on X on Friday that many people have messaged her to discuss the full trailer of the FTX-themed series "The Altruists" released by Netflix this week, and after watching it, she felt "physically sick."Wang served as FTX's Chief Operating Officer since early 2019 and was co-CEO in the last few months before the exchange's collapse until the crash in November 2022. She stated that the companies depicted in the trailer bear little resemblance to her work experience, mentioning that she was one of the last people to leave the Bahamas after Sam Bankman-Fried was extradited, losing everything in the process and taking a long time to recover, with no intention of defending those responsible for the situation.She also noted that the media enjoys the narrative of "FTX blowing up because everyone was partying in the Bahamas," but her workplace was nothing like that. The series is an eight-episode limited series, set to premiere on Netflix on November 19, and the approximately two-minute trailer has sparked criticism of the portrayals of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried and former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison.

The Ethereum scaling network Starknet, built by StarkWare, has indicated that it is actively considering transforming into an independent Layer 1 network (L1), with 2027 set as the target date to become the first fully quantum-resistant network. STRK was approximately $0.073 on Friday, up about 20% in 24 hours, more than doubling from around $0.03 in April.StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson stated that after becoming L1, Starknet will be able to control security upgrades independently, without waiting for Ethereum to advance related work. As a Layer 2 network (L2), Starknet currently relies on Ethereum for security; after transitioning to L1, it will verify and secure transactions on its own.Eli Ben-Sasson pointed out that quantum computers may potentially break the elliptic curve cryptography used by Bitcoin and Ethereum in the future, and developments in AI in the field of mathematics also pose another risk. The Ethereum roadmap is expected to complete its core quantum-resistant infrastructure around 2029, while Starknet plans to advance this to 2027; currently, no quantum computer exists that can break these systems.
