\u20ac94,000 in Cryptocurrencies Seized from Nemesis Market<\/strong><\/h2>\n
On March 20, the BKA<\/span> seized<\/a> the infrastructure of the darknet marketplace Nemesis Market in Germany and Lithuania, disrupting its operations. The police confiscated digital assets worth \u20ac94,000.<\/p>\n
Source: BKA.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Founded in 2021, the platform traded in drugs, stolen data, credit cards, and cybercriminal services, including ransomware, phishing, and DDoS<\/span>. Payments were accepted in Bitcoin and Monero.<\/p>\n
At its peak, Nemesis Market had over 150,000 user accounts and 1,100 vendor accounts worldwide, with about 20% located in Germany.<\/p>\n
The investigation into the darknet marketplace began in October 2022.<\/p>\n
The BKA did not specify whether the server administrators or platform operators were identified or arrested. However, the seized data will aid law enforcement in identifying them.<\/p>\n
Apple Chip Flaw Threatens Encrypted Data Security<\/strong><\/h2>\n
A group of American scientists discovered an “unpatchable” vulnerability in Apple’s M series chips<\/a> that allows hackers to access secret keys and encrypted data on Mac computers.<\/p>\n
They named the flaw GoFetch, identifying it as a side-channel exploit when Apple’s chips execute widely used cryptographic protocols.<\/p>\n
According to the scientists, the issue lies at the microarchitecture design level, making it “unfixable.” Using third-party cryptographic software can significantly reduce the performance of Apple’s M series chips.<\/p>\n
The exploit works seamlessly in the user environment and requires only standard privileges similar to regular applications.<\/p>\n
Vulnerability Allows Hotel and Home Doors to Be Unlocked<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Researchers from the US have publicly disclosed for the first time a technique to hack several models of locks with RFID<\/span> keys from the Saflok brand, manufactured by Swiss company Dormakaba. This was reported by Wired<\/a>.<\/p>\n
