The mastermind behind the armed robbery of a cryptocurrency practitioner in Singapore was sentenced to 12 years and 11 months in prison and received 24 lashes

According to the United Morning News, seven Malaysian gangsters targeted players attending a poker game, breaking into a luxury private residence in Bukit Timah late at night, armed and stealing over 4.9 million dollars, quickly splitting into two groups to escape Singapore. Six of them pleaded guilty in the High Court on Monday (September 14), with the two masterminds sentenced to 12 years and 11 months in prison, 24 strokes of the cane, plus a fine of 4,000 dollars.In court, it was revealed that the masterminds, Wu Wentong (30 years old) and Huang Zhishan (35 years old), learned from a friend who had previously attended the poker game that the house often held poker games at night. After scouting the location, they discovered that the front door of the house would not be locked during the game. Wu Wentong and Huang Zhishan then recruited five other accomplices, specifically coming to Singapore to commit the crime. This armed robbery occurred around 2 a.m. on April 18, 2024, at a residence in the upscale Alper Wang Garden area, where 11 men and women were playing poker in the living room.According to the case details, around March 2024, Wu Wentong and Huang Zhishan decided to rob the poker players at the house due to financial issues. They knew that they could not carry out such a large-scale robbery with just the two of them, so they contacted Hamidun, who runs a private security company and provides debt collection services, to help gather a team, promising a reward of 1.5 million ringgit (approximately 470,000 Singapore dollars). After the group succeeded, they left in a multi-purpose vehicle, splitting into two groups to leave Singapore via the Tuas and Woodlands checkpoints. At the same time, several players in the private residence managed to free themselves from their restraints and reported the robbery to the police. With the assistance of the Royal Malaysia Police, the six defendants were arrested between late April and November 2024 and were extradited to Singapore for prosecution. The police have since recovered virtual currency worth 1.69 million dollars, while the remaining funds and property are still missing.

Phishing websites use meme coin display pages to attract traffic, resulting in significant losses for multiple traders

Recently, the meme coin market has been booming, and on-chain trading has become increasingly active. However, with the warming market, meme coin display pages have frequently shown highly disguised phishing links, and the "novel" attack methods have caused several seasoned traders to fall victim. Crypto KOLs @insidecalls and @cladzsol recently revealed that while scanning chains, they clicked on the meme coin homepage, which resulted in a "cloudfare verification" prompt. After completing the verification as instructed, the victim's on-chain funds were stolen. Among them, @cladzsol lost approximately $600,000 in assets.According to market news, on several recently popular meme coin display pages, the homepage redirects to a "cloudfare verification" page, which is actually a phishing link. If users follow the prompts, their computer systems will download and execute malicious scripts, leading to asset loss. This phenomenon is so rampant that it may be related to the delayed review processes of mainstream trading aggregation platforms like DexScreener. Currently, the display logic of relevant platforms is to directly reference the "official website" or social media links filled in the token metadata. These fields can be updated by token creators or those who later claim "community takeover." Hackers are exploiting this review loophole to transform meme coin display pages into new "fishing grounds" for phishing attacks. Users may inevitably click on unfamiliar links during the chain scanning process; if a "cloudfare verification" or other highly suspicious page appears, they should close it immediately to avoid interaction and protect their asset security.

first_img TrendForce: The contract price of high-capacity NOR Flash may rise by 90%–110% in the second half of the year

TrendForce's latest research on the memory industry indicates that the NOR Flash market is experiencing the most significant supply-demand structural change in nearly a decade. AI-related products are absorbing a large amount of capacity, and suppliers find it difficult to significantly increase NOR Flash bit output despite the continuous growth in high-end application demand. Therefore, the supply-demand imbalance is expected to persist in the second half of 2026, with overall contract prices remaining high.Although suppliers in Taiwan and China have increased capital expenditures and expanded production, the new capacity cannot be immediately converted into market supply. New output must first go through process migration, yield ramp-up, product certification, and customer design integration, making it difficult to alleviate the supply shortage in the mid-to-high capacity segment in the short term. Winbond expects the strongest bit growth in 2026, driven by the full-scale production of 45nm NOR and the migration to 25nm and 20nm. GigaDevice is upgrading the process for products of 32Mb and above, with effective output limited in the first half of the year. MXIC will prioritize additional 12-inch capacity for NAND and eMMC, limiting the growth of NOR wafer input.In 2026, AI and aerospace communications will become the main sources of new demand. The NOR usage in AI servers is 3-5 times that of traditional servers, with high-density demand driven by edge AI, AI PCs, robotics, and low-orbit satellites. In the first half of 2026, the average cumulative contract price increased by 100-120%. In the second half, the average price of products of 256Mb and above may rise by another 90-110%, while prices for products of 128Mb and below are expected to increase by 10-20% in Q4 2026.
