Important News: A recent data breach potentially exposed Social Security numbers and other sensitive information for millions of people. The hacking group USDoD claims to have stolen records of 2.9 billion individuals from National Public Data, a Florida-based background check company. These records reportedly include names, addresses, relatives, and Social Security numbers dating back over 30 years. The data, first put up for sale on the dark web for $3.5 million in April 2024, has since been leaked for free by a hacker in August. National Public Data has yet to confirm the breach, but advises caution.

Hackers stole $1.38 billion in crypto in the first half of 2024, more than double last year's amount, according to TRM. The top five hacks accounted for 70% of the losses, with private key compromises and smart contract exploits being common. The largest hack involved DMM Bitcoin, losing over $300 million. Rising token prices contributed to the increase, though total losses remain below the 2022 record. Scams targeting Toncoin users on Telegram have also surged.

Katsh's innovative solutions are designed to counter these sophisticated threats, ensuring your data and privacy remain protected.
