ChainCatcher news, Scam Sniffer has issued a security warning, revealing a new type of composite scam targeting cryptocurrency users. This scam has two main attack paths: system infection and account hijacking. The scammers first disguise themselves as well-known cryptocurrency KOLs, commenting on legitimate posts to lure users into joining so-called "exclusive investment" Telegram groups. Once users join the group, they will immediately receive a verification request from a fake bot named OfficiaISafeguardBot. These verifications are usually set with very short time windows, creating a sense of urgency.On a technical level, the verification process injects malicious PowerShell code into the clipboard without the user's knowledge. Once executed, it will automatically download and run malware that can compromise system security. These malware have been flagged as malicious by VirusTotal and have recently caused multiple incidents of private key theft. Another attack method is to induce users to provide Telegram account-related information, including phone numbers, login verification codes, and two-step verification passwords, thereby gaining complete control over the user's Telegram account.Scam Sniffer offers the following security recommendations:Do not execute commands from unknown sourcesCarefully verify the authenticity of official channelsBe vigilant about any verification requests with time pressureUse hardware wallets to store cryptocurrency assetsAvoid running arbitrary code and installing unknown softwareNever share Telegram verification codes and two-step verification passwords

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, multiple Wall Street institutions warn that the risk of a rebound in U.S. inflation in 2025 is increasing. Goldman Sachs Chief Economist Jan Hatzius predicts that if Trump's tariff proposal is implemented, it could push the core PCE index, which the Federal Reserve focuses on, up by nearly 1%. Anders Persson, CIO of Nuveen Global Fixed Income, which manages $1.3 trillion in assets, stated that inflation rates may remain above the Federal Reserve's 2% target for the next 12 months and even for several years; in the worst-case scenario, the Federal Reserve may be forced to pivot 180 degrees and restart interest rate hikes, leading to more severe stagflation.The market expects that the CPI data for November, to be released this Wednesday, will continue to rise, with the core CPI annual rate possibly remaining above 2% until October next year. Derek Tang, an economist at Monetary Policy Analytics, pointed out that if the CPI data exceeds expectations and the previous values are revised upward, it could change policymakers' assessment of inflation and affect the pace of interest rate cuts in 2025. In the current situation, Nuveen recommends focusing on fixed income assets, expecting that U.S. Treasury yields will provide substantial returns over the next 12 months; if the economy falls into stagflation, cash may become the best-performing asset class.
