What happened
Multiple high-impact cyber and crime developments: a hacker drained roughly $24.5M in ETH from the Resolv DeFi platform; Resolv publicly offered the attacker 10% of the funds to return the remainder and cease activity. The FBI warned of separate Russian and Iranian cyber campaigns leveraging messaging platforms (e.g., Signal, Telegram).

A Nigerian national, James Junior Aliyu, was sentenced to 90 months for a $6M email fraud and money-laundering/
