The official team has issued an urgent warning, urging all users to immediately update their software and replace all credentials.

This type of vulnerability can pose significant security risks, including the potential theft of funds or unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Issue context

The crypto market presents a mixed picture today, with Bitcoin briefly testing the $65,000 mark, buoyed by positive ETF inflows. Concurrently, significant whale movements in Ethereum suggest repositioning, while one major whale offloaded ETH at a substantial loss. These dynamics reflect the ongoing tension between institutional interest and individual market uncertainty.

Today's data reveals a divergence: while institutional inflows support Bitcoin, whale sales in Ethereum signal caution. Watch for the sustainability of Bitcoin's price level and how the ETH market reacts to whale activity. Your risk appetite should account for the differing signals across both assets.
