According to the Slow Fog Security Team, they have detected an attack activity disguised as a free VPS service, specifically targeting iPhone Safari browsers running iOS versions 18.4 to 18.6.2.The attackers exploited six vulnerabilities codenamed DarkSword to form a complete attack chain, covering aspects such as WebKit remote code execution, sandbox escape, and kernel read/write, allowing them to obtain App container files and keychain data without user awareness, and to record keyboard inputs when wallets like imToken, TokenPocket, or TronLink are in the foreground.The Slow Fog team stated that the aforementioned six vulnerabilities have now been patched by Apple, and the current attack belongs to the reuse of n-day vulnerability chains. Simply visiting a malicious page does not directly prove that mnemonic phrases or private keys have been stolen; confirmation still requires device forensics. iOS/iPadOS users are advised to upgrade their systems to version 18.7.3 or 26.3 and above as soon as possible.

CryptoQuant published an analysis stating that the Bitcoin Coinbase premium index rebounded to 0 on August 26 after being negative for 14 consecutive days. However, this rebound was accompanied by large-scale profit-taking: last week, realized profits averaged $933 million, a week-on-week increase of 824%; exchange inflows for 1 to 3-month tokens increased by 280%, and daily inflows to wallets holding 1,000 to 10,000 BTC reached 1,136 BTC (+235%).There are significant differences in exchange traffic: Binance had a net inflow averaging +2,184 BTC, while the overall exchange net outflow was -2,372 BTC, with Coinbase experiencing a single-day outflow of 3,499 BTC coinciding with the day the premium returned to zero. Long liquidations increased by 469%, far exceeding the 15% for short liquidations, and stablecoins continued to flow out, indicating that buying support is weakening. Analysts point out that history shows that under this structure, the probability of range-bound fluctuations or shallow corrections is higher than direct increases, and sustained upward movement requires the premium to remain above zero and stablecoin net inflows to turn positive; currently, only the first condition is met.

The dollar assets of Bitcoin Treasury Company Strategy have reached $6.69 billion, nearly equivalent to its $6.75 billion outstanding convertible bonds, with the net leverage ratio dropping to nearly zero. Driven by ongoing buybacks and the rebound of Bitcoin prices to around $80,000, its preferred stock STRC has rebounded over 35% since the low in June, currently reported at $97.23, still below the $100 par value.Executive Chairman Michael Saylor stated that USD Cash has enhanced the company's digital credit capital framework, specifically for the general purposes of Bitcoin Treasury Company, including increasing BTC holdings, paying preferred stock dividends and interest, repurchasing MSTR/preferred stock, repaying convertible bonds, and increasing dollar reserves. In May, Strategy repurchased $1.5 billion of convertible bonds maturing in 2029 to alleviate its debt burden.Competitor Strive Asset Management eliminated all debt earlier this year, and its preferred stock SATA has rebounded to the $100 par value, with shares issued last week through an ATM program. Analysts pointed out that eliminating debt will strengthen STRC's position in the capital structure, but ongoing buybacks, ample dollar liquidity, and the rebound in Bitcoin prices may provide more direct support for the preferred stock to return to par value.
