Case File #79: Trust Is the Attack Surface

This week on Crypto Weekly Recap, we’re looking at one of the biggest weaknesses in crypto security: trust. North Korea-linked hackers reportedly used fake job interviews to compromise thousands of devices and crypto wallets around the world. A compromised Cloudflare API key turned trusted Brevo website infrastructure into malware delivery. A custom Safe wallet module exposed millions in rsETH. And fraudulent government requests reportedly led to sensitive Revolut customer information being disclosed. Different attacks. Same lesson: Trust is not verification. We also break down this week’s market action, Federal Reserve policy, Bitcoin and Ethereum momentum, ETF flows, leverage, and a strong week for Avalanche. In Beginner’s Corner, we explain why you should never run unknown code on the same computer that holds your wallets, passwords, exchange sessions, or sensitive accounts. And in the HundredCoin Spotlight, we connect this week’s security lesson back to patience, discipline, and the value of slowing down before you act. I’ve personally been caught in a fake-job crypto scam before, so this week’s main story hits especially close to home. Security First. Hype Last. Stay patient. Stay disciplined. Stay dangerous to scammers. Keep it 💯.
