The official X account of Injective (@injective) issued a statement confirming that Injective recently completed an accelerated network upgrade. The upgrade process exceeded the expected timeline, resulting in some validators being temporarily jailed for failing to complete the update within the required window. Consequently, the network's staked amount experienced a brief decline, and several exchanges temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals. This accelerated upgrade was initiated in response to a vulnerability exploit targeting a minority of ecosystem applications within the binary options market. The attack was confined to the respective application layers, leaving the Injective mainnet, underlying protocol, native assets, and consensus mechanism unaffected. The associated attack vectors have been successfully contained and remediated. Injective stressed that all user funds on-chain and staked INJ tokens remained fully secure, noting that external reports characterizing the event as the "blockchain being attacked or shut down" were inaccurate. Moving forward, Injective will implement enhanced invariant detection, real-time monitoring systems, and additional security safeguards, while maintaining continuous collaboration with ecosystem developers to raise overall security standards.

According to security firm Huntress, hackers are distributing credential-stealing malware to cryptocurrency users through forged Google Docs files, malicious files hosted on GitHub, and cloned Claude.ai pages. Attackers impersonate senior CoinDesk employees on the social platform X, luring victims into opening Google Docs documents containing malicious code under the guise of an online meeting invitation, which then prompts users to manually install the malicious software. Mac users face threats from Atomic macOS Stealer (AMOS), which can steal browser passwords, cryptocurrency wallet data, and Telegram files; Windows users are served fake Google API Connector updates that, once installed, deploy NetSupport RAT and counterfeit Ledger hardware wallet applications. Additionally, hackers have placed fraudulent ads on search engines like Bing to lure users to cloned Claude.ai pages where they execute malicious commands; the associated malware, MacSync and SectopRAT, can steal cookies, saved passwords, mnemonic phrases, and payment card information. Security firm Socket also concurrently identified 16 malicious extensions targeting Chrome and Edge, capable of draining EVM, Solana, and Tron wallet assets.
