CashNews: Retool, 231k TRB and Kazakhstan

Yo fam, here’s the crypto tea 🍵:

 

Retool’s Oof Moment with Google Authenticator

So, Coincu dropped that Retool spilled about a hack that got 27 crypto peeps’ accounts. A whole lotta money went *poof* on August 27, 2023. And guess what? Google Authenticator had an “oopsie” moment. 😳

The hackers were slick. They messed with Google Authenticator’s cloud thingy, which basically turned 2-factor security into just 1 (big yikes!). The drama started with a fake text sent to Retool crew, pretending they were from IT. Then, boom, $15 mill in crypto gone from Fortress Trust. People are side-eyeing this group called Scattered Spider for it, ’cause their vibes match. Retool says chill, they’re fixing things and moving logins to Okta.

 

231,000 TRB Moves to Binance

Check it: Odaily said in the last day, 231k TRB got sent to Binance from 9 wallets. Six of ’em took a tiny L, while two made bank. 📈 No one knows what’s up with that, but it could shake the TRB scene.

 

Kazakhstan’s Going Full Crypto Mode

So, Cointelegraph’s spillin’ that Kazakhstan’s National Bank (NBK) is launching this thing called the National Payment Corporation (NPC) to vibe with their new digital currency, the “digital tenge”. 🚀 This agency’s gonna handle the big bucks stuff, including this new digital money move. They started the project in Feb 2023 and are looking at a 2025 launch. And get this: Binance, the top dog in crypto exchanges, is in on this, helping with their BNB Chain. They even teamed up with Freedom Finance Bank in June for some digital goodness in Kazakhstan.

 

Stay woke, fam! 🚀🔥✌️
