🚀 Crypto User Moves 100 Bitcoin from Casascius Bar to Wallet After 13 Years
#Bitcoin #Casascius #Crypto #HardwareWallet #HistoricalArtifacts #PrivateKeys #Investment #Wealth #Security #PhysicalCoins #BTC
According to Cointelegraph, a crypto enthusiast known as "John Galt" recently transferred 100 Bitcoin (BTC) from a physical Casascius bar to a hardware wallet, marking a significant move after holding the coins for approximately 13 years. Casascius bars and coins serve as tangible representations of Bitcoin, with private keys attached to the objects themselves. Galt acquired the bar in 2012 when Bitcoin's price was below $100, driven by the belief that these physical coins might become historical artifacts if Bitcoin gained prominence.
On May 13, Bitcoin's value reached approximately $104,000, elevating the worth of Galt's bar to over $10 million. Despite contemplating selling the bar before 2025, Galt faced challenges in finding legitimate buyers for such a high-value item. He expressed reluctance to redeem the bar, likening it to destroying a piece of history, akin to melting down an ancient gold necklace. Galt preferred to sell the bar intact, complete with its sticker, but as its value increased, finding a buyer became increasingly difficult.
Although the Bitcoin is now more accessible through the hardware wallet, Galt has no immediate plans to cash out. He emphasized that possessing 100 BTC is life-changing, yet his decision was more about ensuring safety than sudden wealth. Prior to using the private keys, Galt stored the bar in a vault outside his home, highlighting the importance of security.
Casascius bars and coins remain limited in circulation, ranging from 0.5 BTC and 1 BTC coins in brass or silver to 100-BTC gold-plated bars. These physical Bitcoins contain a private key that can be accessed by unsealing a tamper-evident hologram. According to the Casascius tracker Uberbills, over 17,000 coins and bars are active and yet to be redeemed, including two 1,000-BTC bars valued at over $100 million, one 500-BTC bar worth $50 million, and 35 100-BTC bars.#Bitcoin #Casascius #Crypto #HardwareWallet #HistoricalArtifacts #PrivateKeys #Investment #Wealth #Security #PhysicalCoins #BTC

🚀 Largest Supply Chain Attack Targets JavaScript Libraries, Threatens Crypto Security
#SupplyChainAttack #JavaScript #NPM #CryptoSecurity #CryptoClipper #WalletSecurity #HardwareWallet #SeedPhrase #Chalk #StripAnsi #ColorConvert #Cybersecurity #Malware
According to Cointelegraph, a significant supply chain attack has compromised widely used JavaScript software libraries, marking what is being described as the largest incident of its kind in history. The injected malware is reportedly designed to steal cryptocurrency by swapping wallet addresses and intercepting transactions. Reports indicate that hackers infiltrated the node package manager (NPM) account of a prominent developer, secretly embedding malware into popular JavaScript libraries utilized by millions of applications.
The malicious code is capable of hijacking or swapping cryptocurrency wallet addresses, thereby putting billions of downloads' worth of projects at risk. The breach specifically targeted packages such as chalk, strip-ansi, and color-convert, which are small utilities deeply embedded in the dependency trees of numerous projects. These libraries collectively receive over a billion downloads each week, suggesting that even developers who have not directly installed them could be exposed to the threat.
NPM functions as a central repository for developers, akin to an app store, where they can share and download small code packages to construct JavaScript projects. The attackers appear to have deployed a crypto-clipper, a type of malware that discreetly replaces wallet addresses during transactions to divert funds. Security researchers have cautioned that users relying on software wallets may be particularly vulnerable, whereas those who confirm every transaction on a hardware wallet are protected. It remains uncertain whether the malware also attempts to directly steal seed phrases.
This situation is evolving, and additional information will be provided as it becomes available.#SupplyChainAttack #JavaScript #NPM #CryptoSecurity #CryptoClipper #WalletSecurity #HardwareWallet #SeedPhrase #Chalk #StripAnsi #ColorConvert #Cybersecurity #Malware

According to Cointelegraph, Blockstream, a provider of infrastructure and hardware wallets, has alerted users to a new phishing campaign targeting its Jade hardware wallet users. The company emphasized that it does not distribute firmware files via email and assured that no data has been compromised in this attack. Phishing attacks are crafted to deceive users into revealing sensitive information by mimicking legitimate communications. In this instance, the fraudulent email urged users to download the latest firmware version for the Blockstream Jade wallet through a malicious link.
Phishing scams have become increasingly prevalent, with crypto users losing over $12 million in August alone, affecting more than 15,000 victims—a 67% increase from July, as reported by Scam Sniffer, an anti-scam service. As these scams grow in complexity, it is crucial for crypto users to remain vigilant and adopt robust online safety measures to safeguard their assets and personal information. The first half of 2025 saw crypto users lose over $3.1 billion to scams and hacks, marking a significant rise from the previous year, according to blockchain security firm Hacken. Phishing scams often involve deceptive emails that appear to be from reputable crypto companies, tricking users into divulging private keys or passwords by warning of account issues or security breaches.
To protect against phishing scams, users should verify URL addresses to ensure they are accessing legitimate websites. Scammers frequently create URLs that closely resemble authentic crypto sites, with minor alterations such as substituting letters with numbers. Bookmarking trusted pages and avoiding manual URL entry or reliance on search engines can also help prevent falling victim to scams. Additionally, users should be cautious of clicking links from unknown sources, utilize virtual private networks (VPNs) to conceal IP addresses, and scrutinize emails and websites for spelling or grammatical errors. These practices can significantly reduce the risk of phishing attacks and enhance online security for crypto users.#phishing #blockstream #jadewallet #hardwarewallet #cryptosecurity #onlinesafety #scams #phishingscams #vpn #urlverification #cryptowallet #blockchainsecurity #phishingawareness #cryptocurrency
