This tag explores the technical standards of digital ownership, the growth of NFT marketplaces, and the integration of non-fungible tech into the broader Creator Economy and enterprise solutions.

Criminals Are Vibe Hacking With AI To Carry Out Ransoms At Scale: Anthropic

Criminals Are Vibe Hacking With AI To Carry Out Ransoms At Scale: Anthropic

The post Criminals Are Vibe Hacking With AI To Carry Out Ransoms At Scale: Anthropic appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Despite “sophisticated” guardrails, AI infrastructure company Anthropic said cybercriminals are still finding ways to misuse its AI chatbot Claude to carry out large-scale cyberattacks.  In a “Threat Intelligence” report released Wednesday, members of Anthropic’s Threat Intelligence team, including Alex Moix, Ken Lebedev and Jacob Klein, shared several cases in which criminals had misused the Claude chatbot, with some attacks demanding more than $500,000 in ransom. They found that the chatbot was used not only to provide technical advice to the criminals, but also to directly execute hacks on their behalf through “vibe hacking,” allowing them to perform attacks with only basic knowledge of coding and encryption. Vibe hacking is social engineering using AI to manipulate human emotions, trust and decision-making. In February, blockchain security firm Chainalysis forecast crypto scams may have their biggest year in 2025 as generative AI has made it more scalable and affordable for attacks. Anthropic found one hacker who had been “vibe hacking” with Claude to steal sensitive data from at least 17 organizations — including healthcare, emergency services, government and religious institutions —with ransom demands ranging from $75,000 to $500,000 in Bitcoin. A simulated ransom note demonstrates how cybercriminals leverage Claude to make threats. Source: Anthropic The hacker trained Claude to assess stolen financial records, calculate appropriate ransom amounts and write custom ransom notes to maximize psychological pressure. While Anthropic later banned the attacker, the incident reflects how AI is making it easier for even the most basic-level coders to carry out cybercrimes to an “unprecedented degree.” “Actors who cannot independently implement basic encryption or understand syscall mechanics are now successfully creating ransomware with evasion capabilities [and] implementing anti-analysis techniques.” North Korean IT workers also used Anthropic’s Claude Anthropic also found that North Korean IT workers have been using Claude to forge convincing identities, pass technical…

Email Marketing In Crypto, Web3 n Blockchain

Email Marketing In Crypto, Web3 n Blockchain

Email marketing in the blockchain industry has its own unique considerations compared to traditional sectors, due to the nature of the audience (tech-savvy, privacy-conscious), the products (wallets, tokens, dApps, etc.), and legal concerns (like regulations and spam laws). Here’s a breakdown of how email marketing can be effectively used in the blockchain space:

  1. Build a Trustworthy Email List
Opt-in only: Avoid buying email lists. Instead, use lead magnets like airdrops, whitelist registrations, or early-access offers. Transparency: Clearly state what users are signing up for (e.g., project updates, token sale news, etc.).
  1. Content Strategy
Educational Content: Explain how your product or platform works. Blockchain is still complex for many. Project Updates: Share news about milestones, partnerships, listings, audits, or governance decisions. Community Engagement: Invite users to participate in DAOs, vote on proposals, or join ambassador programs. Token Information: Be careful with how you discuss tokens to stay compliant with regulations (avoid sounding like financial advice or guarantees).
  1. Design and Deliverability
Clean, mobile-friendly templates. Branding consistency: Use your project’s colors, fonts, and tone. Use wallets as identity (optional): Some platforms integrate wallet-based logins tied to emails for Web3-native experiences.
  1. Tools and Platforms
Use tools like Mailchimp, Sendinblue, ConvertKit, or Substack for newsletters. For crypto-native tools: platforms like XMTP and Dmail are exploring decentralized email/messaging.
  1. Legal Compliance
GDPR, CAN-SPAM, and other data protection laws still apply even in the blockchain space. Provide unsubscribe links and keep communication non-spammy.
  1. Best Practices
Segment your list: New users, holders, validators, etc. Use analytics: Track open rates, clicks, and conversions. Automate follow-ups and onboarding sequences. Token Sale Updates (e.g., ICO, IDO reminders) New Feature Releases (e.g., NFT drops, staking features) Community Votes & Governance (DAO updates) Partnership Announcements Security Alerts Blockchain Email campaign or design an email funnel for Web3 product.Dillex Ayo designs In the blockchain/Web3 space, email campaigns often use highly visual and interactive content instead of plain-text-heavy emails. Here’s why: Why Visual/Graphic Emails Work in Blockchain: The audience is tech-savvy and drawn to sleek, futuristic designs. It mimics the UI of dApps, NFTs, and wallets they’re familiar with. Attention spans are short visual storytelling (graphics, GIFs, or short videos) works better. Easier to show token metrics, roadmaps, staking stats, or NFT artwork at a glance. What a Typical Blockchain Visual Email Looks Like: Here’s how they structure it:
  1. Header Banner
Logo + clean navigation (links to website, dashboard, whitepaper)
  1. Eye-catching Visual or GIF
For example, a graphic countdown to token sale or animated NFT teaser.
  1. Short Hook Text
One-line summary like:“Stake now. Earn 18% APY. No lock-in.”
  1. Button CTA
“Stake Now” or “Claim NFT”(Well-designed, colored button — not text links)
  1. Visual Sections
Infographic: Tokenomics, Roadmap, Ecosystem Animated steps: How to connect wallet > stake > earn Promo for upcoming AMA, launch, or collab
  1. Footer
Social media icons (X/Twitter, Discord, Telegram, Medium) Legal disclaimer (very important for token compliance) Tools Blockchain Projects Use: Photoshop/Canva: To design branded email graphics Mailchimp, BeeFree, or Stripo: Drag-and-drop HTML email editors Video embeds: With YouTube, Vimeo, or Web3-native hosting Animated NFTs/headers: For creative drops Campaign Structure: 5-Part Funnel with Segmentation Audience Segments Split list by behavior or signup intent: Airdrop Hunters DeFi Enthusiasts NFT Creators/Collectors Governance Voters/DAO Members Inactive Users Each group gets targeted messaging, while some emails remain shared (global updates).

Tether to Launch USDT Natively on Bitcoin

Tether to Launch USDT Natively on Bitcoin

Tether has announced that it will launch its stablecoin USDT natively on Bitcoin through the recently launched RGB Protocol. Tether, which is the largest stablecoin issuer, shared this in its blog post in August, marking a breakthrough for tokenized assets on Bitcoin. USDT would become the first-ever native stablecoin on the Bitcoin network, leveraging RGB technology to enable the trading of the dollar-pegged token. USDT Comes Natively to Bitcoin The entire architecture of the Bitcoin blockchain has ensured that tokenized assets do not exist natively on the “most secure and decentralized network.” Nonetheless, RGB aims to address this with its next-generational technology. The protocol launched on the Bitcoin mainnet in mid-July with its 0.11.1 release, ushering in compatibility for smart contracts and asset issuance systems. It came with tokenization tools that allow users to create and send digital assets on the Bitcoin and Lightning Networks. Now, Tether is leveraging this protocol to launch USDT natively on the Bitcoin blockchain. This ensures that users can transact the stablecoin directly on the network, bringing lightweight payments to the billions of users who use it. Notably, the technology enables users to hold and move Bitcoin and USDT through the same wallet while maintaining their lightweight and confidential nature. The transactions are processed off-chain, allowing users to enjoy the same privacy and decentralization benefits associated with the Bitcoin network. The Native Smart Contract Functions that Bitcoin Deserves Reacting to the development, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino insisted that Bitcoin is finally getting the stablecoin feel that it deserves. He added that USDT would gain a “new pathway with Bitcoin” through the RGB Protocol, reestablishing its long-standing sentiment that the leading cryptocurrency should offer more to users beyond its reputation as a store of value. Moreover, this is just one of the broader efforts to roll out DeFi for Bitcoin users. Industry leaders have tipped this push to unlock trillions of dollars in liquidity domiciled on the Bitcoin network to other chains, boosting transactional activities and TVL of all involved parties. Remarkably, Ardoino earlier teased the prospect of USDT’s availability on the Bitcoin network in April, calling it a return to its natural habitat. He confirmed that the stablecoin will launch on the Bitcoin Lightning Network during the interview, powered by Taproot Assets. Meanwhile, with RGB, users can do more. The protocol also allows users to hold and move non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and custom tokens within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
