PANews reported on October 16th that, according to Decrypt, the official Dota 2 YouTube channel was briefly compromised on Wednesday. The attacker promoted a Solana-based token, dota2coin, through a fraudulent livestream. While there's currently no evidence of user data being compromised, Decrypt confirmed the existence of the video through logs. The livestream, titled "Dota 2 Official Meme Coin Launch | Come Now," included a link to the PumpFun token, whose description in turn linked back to the official Dota 2 channel. As of press time, the meme coin's market capitalization has fallen to approximately $5,500, a drop of approximately 21% from its launch. On-chain data shows that the token was created within hours of the attack, with less than 3% of the bonding curve progressing, and over 98% of the token supply concentrated in a single wallet. Users on the r/DotA2 subreddit on Reddit quickly documented the attack, posting screenshots of the fake token promotion and warning others not to participate. Additionally, users reported that PGL, the Romanian esports organizer responsible for hosting Valve-sanctioned Dota 2 tournaments, had also been hacked.PANews reported on October 16th that, according to Decrypt, the official Dota 2 YouTube channel was briefly compromised on Wednesday.

HOT MOMENTS: FOMC Statement Released Following the Fed Interest Rate Decision – Here Are All the Details of the Full Text

The post HOT MOMENTS: FOMC Statement Released Following the Fed Interest Rate Decision – Here Are All the Details of the Full Text appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Fed has resumed interest rate cuts after a nine-month hiatus, lowering the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a range of 4% to 4.25%. According to the “dot plot” projection reflected in the decision text, two additional interest rate cuts are envisaged in 2025. While 9 out of 19 officials expected two more interest rate cuts this year, 2 predicted a single cut, and 6 predicted no additional cuts. Newly appointed Fed Board member Stephen I. Miran dissented from the decision, voting for a stronger 50 basis point cut. The decision noted that economic growth slowed in the first half of the year, employment growth slowed, and the unemployment rate rose slightly. It also noted that inflation had begun to rise but remained high. While reiterating that it maintains its long-term targets of maximum employment and 2% inflation, the Fed noted that uncertainties regarding the economic outlook remain high. The statement read, “The Committee assesses that downside risks to employment have increased, in line with the balance of risks.” The statement stated that interest rate policy will be reshaped in the coming period, taking into account future data, the economic outlook, and the balance of risks. It also noted that the reduction in holdings of Treasury bonds, corporate debt instruments, and mortgage-backed securities will continue. The resolution was supported by Fed Chair Jerome Powell, Vice Chair John C. Williams, and board members Michael S. Barr, Michelle W. Bowman, Susan M. Collins, Lisa D. Cook, Austan D. Goolsbee, Philip N. Jefferson, Alberto G. Musalem, Jeffrey R. Schmid, and Christopher J. Waller. *This is not investment advice.
