Odaily reports: The Fed's rate hike has triggered a stock sell-off, but the prospect of tighter monetary policy has not deterred market bulls. Mark Haefele, Chief Investment Officer at UBS Global Wealth Management, said his team remains "positioned for further stock market gains while preparing for near-term volatility. If tightening remains moderate, credit spreads stay stable, and profits continue to grow, this rally should be expected to broaden to more sectors and regions. We recommend diversifying equity exposure while avoiding excessive concentration in areas that are particularly sensitive to interest rates or reliant on a single return driver."

Odaily reports: Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis has released a report stating that hackers are increasingly leveraging open-source artificial intelligence (AI) to implant malware control instructions into on-chain transactions and smart contracts, with such cases surging approximately 440% in less than a year. Data shows that these incidents have risen from roughly 2 per day to approximately 11 per day. Attackers write malicious instructions on-chain to manipulate infected devices into stealing passwords and funds, and redirect assets to designated wallets; since on-chain records cannot be deleted, defense and interception are becoming increasingly difficult.

The report notes that state-sponsored hackers from countries such as North Korea and Iran have become the primary drivers of such activity. Open-source models support local independent operation and modification, allowing them to directly bypass cloud-based defenses. However, the public and transparent nature of blockchain also leaves critical evidence for tracing attack infrastructure. (Bloomberg)
