Security research organization Ctrl-Alt-Intel disclosed that suspected North Korean hackers launched attacks against staking platforms and cryptocurrency exchanges, exploiting the React2Shell vulnerability and AWS credentials to infiltrate, steal keys and source code. The activity is consistent with North Korean attack characteristics, but the attribution confidence level is medium.

Ctrl Alt announces collaboration with Dubai Land Department to launch the second phase of the real estate tokenization pilot project, involving ten properties valued at over $5 million. Approximately 7.8 million tokens can be resold on a controlled secondary market, aiming to enhance market liquidity and investor protection. Transactions are conducted within a regulatory framework.

Billiton Diamond and tokenization technology company Ctrl Alt announced that they have completed a diamond asset onboarding project in the UAE worth over $280 million, mapping certified polished diamonds to on-chain tokens, with enterprise-level custody support provided by Ripple, and issuing and transferring on the XRP Ledger. This move marks a significant step forward for the Middle East in the field of physical asset tokenization. The two companies revealed that more than 1 billion dirhams worth of diamond inventory has been digitally mapped so far, with tokens corresponding one-to-one to physical inventory, and secured through a custody structure to ensure asset safety. This solution not only improves settlement efficiency but also enhances the traceability of diamond sources and ownership, providing a higher level of transparency for institutional participants.
