Odaily News: Numa Lunah, co-founder of the crypto project Refi Hub, stated that he was hacked after using a download link provided in a Claude chat window to install a transcription application. The link pointed to a fake website bundled with malware, which attempted to steal all information from his device upon execution.
Numa Lunah said he wiped and reinstalled the affected laptop and found no signs of sensitive data leakage. Subsequently, he discovered a contaminated Claude Code skill file named SKILL.md in his backups. The file was disguised as a style guide written by himself and contained instructions to re-download malware and steal credentials every time it was loaded.
Microsoft Defender Experts previously warned that attackers have shifted from search engine optimization poisoning to large language model response poisoning. These tactics include recommending attacker-controlled download links, AI-branded fake installers, and contaminated code repositories and agent skills. Individuals working in the crypto industry may hold irrevocable credentials such as mnemonic phrases, private key files, hot wallet JSONs, exchange API keys with withdrawal permissions, and deployer keys.

Odaily News – "White-Haired Stock God" Serenity has publicly questioned Sivers Photonics' (SIVE) growth strategy, arguing that the company remains overly focused on the Swedish market, while U.S. investors may be more interested in its future growth potential and the tangible economic value of its order book.
Serenity noted that U.S. analysts are more likely to focus on what Sivers' two recent wafer fab capacity allocations actually mean, and how much revenue and operating leverage these capacities will translate into amid supply bottlenecks and rising ASPs (average selling prices). Additionally, topics such as NPO/CPO, pluggable optical modules, the 2028 volume ramp of CPO players like Ayar, the ELS product partnership with O-Net, the scale of six newly added pluggable customers, and the potential TAM (total addressable market) are all worth deeper discussion.
In contrast, questions from the local market tend to center on "how to stop the bleeding," why private clients cannot be disclosed, why the company focuses on transceivers, and what the "business opportunity pipeline" really means—forcing management to spend significant time responding to doubts rather than discussing future growth.
Serenity believes that the more time Sivers devotes to the Swedish market, the more its valuation will be constrained by the investment logic of that market. Therefore, the company needs to more actively present its future growth opportunities and the economic value behind them to U.S. investors.

Odaily News: Bitcoin News posted on X platform that Afghanistan's Taliban government has effectively banned Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading nationwide, threatening to prosecute traders and related businesses. More than 20 crypto shops in Herat have been closed, and at least 13 traders have reportedly been arrested. Afghanistan's monthly crypto inflows have dropped from a peak of over $150 million to less than $80,000. After Afghanistan was largely cut off from the global banking system, Bitcoin and stablecoins had become important tools for savings and remittances. Taliban officials called digital assets fraudulent and considered cryptocurrency speculation akin to gambling under Islamic law. Although these actions have compressed Afghanistan's visible crypto market, Bitcoin can still be traded via the internet, private keys, and counterparties.
