It’s commonly said in the crypto world that Apple computers are safer than Windows systems, but nothing is completely secure. Recently, a video posted by SlowMist team member @im23pds sparked heated discussions. In the video, after a Mac installed a DMG package, the hacker’s server obtained various account permissions and wallet private key files from the computer in just ten seconds — completely compromising the system. This article will explain how the attack happened and provide three crucial recommendations you must know. How exactly does the attack happen? 1. Bypassed Apple’s Official Review It’s easy to guess that the attack begins with a typical phishing tactic: tricking the user into thinking they are installing legitimate software, when in fact, it’s a trojan virus.

During its most recent earnings call, AMD forecasted between $7.2 billion and $7.8 billion in Q4 revenue.

Countries worldwide are moving away from the U.S. dollar. This de-dollarization comes as the U.S. economy struggles with serious internal problems.

As decentralized finance (DeFi) gains traction, the importance of user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design in making these platforms accessible and intuitive is becoming increasingly critical.

James Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, is a veritable YouTube superstar. Once a media darling on account of several charitable videos, he appears to be attracting an endless stream of controversy in 2024. Donaldson’s stroke of bad luck began when close collaborator Ava Kris Tyson was accused of impropriety involving a minor — just weeks later, a former employee alleged widespread fraud that would amount to running an illegal lottery — one aimed at children. However, this latest development just might prove to be a turning point for the YouTuber’s career. An initial investigation showed that MrBeast profited as much as $10 million from backing low-cap IDO (initial DEX offering) crypto tokens, as per an X post from online-sleuth SomaXBT.

The MAGA price plunged 12% in the last 24 hours to trade at $3.66 as of 00:43 a.m. EST on trading volume that plunged 35% to $13.8 million. MAGA Price On A Bearish Trend The MAGA price chart shows an uptrend that has recently entered a corrective phase. The price showed a strong rally in mid-October, but resistance was encountered around the $5.0 level, according to data from GeckoTerminal . Since then, it appears to be correcting downwards. The price of MAGA has now dropped below the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) but still trades above the 50-day SMA, which shows that TRUMP could go through a surge in the short term. Moreover, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 42.05, which is in the lower half of the range but not yet oversold. This neutral-to-slightly bearish level indicates mild selling pressure without being in oversold territory. A break below 30 would indicate oversold conditions, potentially a signal that a bounce or reversal could follow. If the current bearis
