    Founder of SushiSwap DeFi Protocol Cashes Out

    Chef Nomi, the mysterious founder of SushiSwap—the latest decentralized finance protocol to flourish above the thriving canopy of this summer’s DeFi craze—has cashed out. Over the weekend, the self-described “head chef” withdrew 2.5 million SUSHI from the decentralized exchange in exchange for 18,000 ETH—worth about $6 million. He also removed 20,000 ETH, worth another $7 million, from the same liquidity pool. The move, recorded on Etherscan, comes just after the creator of SushiSwap, a fork of...

    Fed Announces New Inflation Approach—a Move that Could Benefit Bitcoin

    The Federal Reserve says it is pushing aside a 40-year-old practice of lifting interest rates to stave off higher inflation in favor of a new approach.  Fed Chairman Jerome Powell announced the move Thursday in a speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium conference, which has been forced to go virtual because of the coronavirus.  The new policy dubbed “average inflation targeting” means the central bank will be more apt to allow inflation to run higher than the standard 2% target before hiki...

    Russian Offered Man $1M in BTC to Plant Malware on Company Computer

    Egor Igorevich Kriuchkov allegedly offered to pay an employee at a Nevada company $1 million in Bitcoin to install malware on his employer’s computer. The plans were foiled, however, when the employee opted to report the Russian national to the FBI instead. According to court documents unsealed Wednesday, the US Department of Justice charged Kriuchkov, who traveled from Russia to the US to try and recruit the employee (known as CHS1 in the complaint), with conspiracy to damage a protected comput...

    Curve founder seizes 71% of Curve DAO voting power

    The “decentralized” part of decentralized finance came into question today for Curve when founder and CEO Michael Egorov took over 71% of the voting power for the platform’s DAO. An Ethereum-based DeFi liquidity pool and exchange platform, Curve lets holders of its CRV governance token lock up their tokens to obtain a separate voting token, veCRV. Holders can then use veCRV to vote on network proposals submitted through the Curve DAO, and those with a high enough veCRV can even submit their own...

    The University of Utah paid a ransomware gang nearly half a million dollars to avoid having its data encrypted—and leaked. The university has become the latest victim in a recent string of ransomware attacks aimed at higher education.  In a statement posted on its website Thursday, the university revealed that it was the target of a ransomware attack on July 19. The hackers managed to encrypt only 0.02% of the data stored on its servers, the university said.  The university did not specify wheth...
