PANews reported on December 3rd that SlowMist disclosed on its official WeChat account that it recently received a request for help from a user who claimed to have been targeted by a phishing attack. The user discovered abnormal authorization records in their Solana wallet, attempted to revoke the authorization but was unable to do so, and provided the affected wallet address. On-chain analysis revealed that the user's account owner privileges had been transferred to an address starting with "GKJBEL". Furthermore, the user had already lost assets worth over $3 million USD, and another $2 million USD worth of assets were held in DeFi protocols and could not be transferred (this $2 million USD worth of assets has now been successfully recovered with the assistance of the relevant DeFi platforms). The victim attempted to transfer funds from the account to their own address to verify authorization, but all transactions failed. This situation is highly similar to the "malicious multi-signature" attacks that frequently occur in the TRON ecosystem. In other words, this attack is not a traditional "authorization theft," but rather the attacker replaced the core permissions (Owner permissions), rendering the victim powerless even if they wanted to transfer funds, revoke authorization, or operate DeFi assets. The funds are "visible," but no longer under their control.PANews reported on December 3rd that SlowMist disclosed on its official WeChat account that it recently received a request for help from a user who claimed to have been targeted by a phishing attack.

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing. The Euro (EUR) trades under pressure against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Wednesday, with EUR/CHF extending losses for the second straight session as the common currency struggles to gain traction following Eurozone inflation data. At the time of writing, the cross is trading around 0.9320 during the American session. The latest inflation data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone price growth remained broadly stable in August, reinforcing the European Central Bank’s (ECB) cautious stance on monetary policy. The Core Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, rose 2.3% YoY, in line with both forecasts and the previous month’s reading. On a monthly basis, core inflation increased by 0.3%, unchanged from July, highlighting persistent underlying price pressures in the bloc. Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
