Cryptocurrency transaction mixing service Tornado Cash has experienced a forceful takeover of its governance system, orchestrated by hackers via a malevolent proposal. The breach saw an attacker surpass the tally of legitimate votes, granting them control over the protocol’s governance system.
The company behind the popular cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask, ConsenSys, has addressed rumors that it collects taxes from cryptocurrency users, informing its followers on social media that the rumors were based on “inaccurate information.”
The Bitcoin-focused payments company Strike has announced that it is expanding its app to over 65 countries, significantly broadening its reach beyond its current user base in the United States and El Salvador.
