Crypto Fraud: Moonpay Executives Lose $250k to Email Scam

Crypto Executives Fall Victim to Sophisticated Phishing Scam,Losing $250K in Ethereum

In a startling incident that highlights the persistent threat of online fraud,two executives from the prominent crypto exchange Moonpay have reportedly lost approximately $250,000 worth of Ethereum due to a cunning phishing attack.The victims, believed to be Moonpay’s CEO Ivan Soto-Wright and CFO Mouna Ammari siala, were tricked into believing they were donating to the inauguration of former American President Donald Trump.

The elaborate scam, detailed in a report filed wiht the U.S.Department of Law, involved a subtle yet effective manipulation of an email address. The fraudsters exploited the visual similarity between the letters ‘I’ and ‘L’ in sans-serif fonts, altering the legitimate email address associated with the Trump inauguration committee. Rather of the correct “stevewitkoff@t47lnagural.com,” the victims received communications from a spoofed address, “stevewitkoff@t47lnagural.com.”

This seemingly minor alteration was enough to deceive the Moonpay executives, who proceeded to transfer a significant amount of Ethereum to the fraudulent wallet. Transaction records obtained from Binance indicate that the wallet used by the perpetrators was registered under the name Eehemen Aigbokhan, a Nigerian national residing in Lagos. Further analysis of IP addresses consistently pointed to Nigeria as the origin of the fraudulent communications, suggesting that Aigbokhan received the illicit funds via international wire transfers.

The incident underscores the evolving tactics employed by cybercriminals, who are increasingly targeting high-profile individuals and organizations within the cryptocurrency space. moonpay, a crypto exchanger established in 2019, has previously faced scrutiny, including a class-action lawsuit related to it’s promotion of NFT Bored Ape Yacht. This latest incident serves as a stark reminder for all users, particularly those in leadership positions, to exercise extreme caution and vigilance against sophisticated phishing attempts.

Jakarta –

In this month, there is an event Full moon “Buck Moon“

The peak of the full moon phase occurs at dawn. The following is complete information.

The full moon in July will look very low in the sky after sunset. This is mostly caused by close to the turning point of the summer sun, when the sun is at the highest point in the daytime sky, and the moon follows a low path throughout the night.

According to the Almanac website, the full moon in July is called buck moon because male deer horns are in full growth mode at this time. Male deer releases and re -growing its horns every year, producing larger and more impressive horns over time.

Buck Moon Schedule 2025

Based on information from BMKG, the full moon in July is known as Buck Moon. This term originated from the American native who observed that in July, there was a re -growth of male deer horns after the mating season.

Buck Moon 2025 occurs at:

  • Peak Purnama Phase: July 10, 2025 at 03.36 WIB
  • Earth Distance – Moon During the Purnama Phase July 10, 2025: 390,730 km

In comparison, the distance of the earth – the month during the Purnama Apogee phase April 13, 2025 is 406,006 km. Then, the distance of the earth – the month during the Purnama Perige phase on November 5, 2025 is 356,980 km.

How to see buck moon July 2025

Launching the Space page, the best time to see the full moon in July is a few hours after the month of publication on July 10, when the moon disk will look bigger than the actual size, thanks to ‘the illusion of the Moon’.

You can also see Buck Moon turning into a golden or reddish hue shortly after publication. This warm hue is caused by rayleigh scattering, the same effect that causes the sunset and colorful sunrise.

This happens because the sunlight reflected from the moon must travel further distances through the Earth’s atmosphere to reach us when under the horizon than when it is right above the head, which causes more light in a blue wavelength to spread, while allowing the reder wavelength to enter.

BlackBerry-Style Android Phones: Titan 2 and Zinwa Q25 Revive QWERTY Keyboards in 2025

Table of Contents

The physical keyboard is making a comeback! Two Chinese tech companies, Unihertz and Zinwa Technologies, are set to release Android phones sporting classic BlackBerry designs, complete with the iconic QWERTY physical keyboard. These smartphones, the Unihertz Titan 2 and the Zinwa Q25, target a niche market craving the tactile experience of physical buttons in today’s touchscreen-dominated world.

Unihertz Titan 2: A BlackBerry Passport Reimagining

Unihertz,known for producing unique and rugged mobile phones,is launching the Titan 2,a device heavily inspired by the BlackBerry Passport. This phone features a 4.5-inch square screen with a resolution of 1440×1440 pixels. The Titan 2 also boasts a physical QWERTY keyboard equipped with backlighting and trackpad functionality.

Did You Know? The BlackBerry Passport, released in 2014, was designed to be the same width as a physical passport, making it ideal for viewing documents and spreadsheets.

On the rear, the Titan 2 includes a 2-inch secondary screen to display the clock, caller ID, and other notifications. Powering the device is a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset,paired with a generous 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage.

The Titan 2 also features a 50 MP rear camera with an 8 MP telephoto lens, a 32 MP front camera, and a substantial 5,050 mAh battery with 33W fast charging.It supports 5G, Dual SIM, Face Unlock, and runs on Android 15.

Currently, the Titan 2 is in the crowdfunding stage on Kickstarter with a promotional price of $269 USD (approximately 4.3 million IDR). If the campaign is successful, shipping is slated to begin in October 2025 to various countries.

Zinwa Technologies is also entering the fray with the Zinwa Q25, a modified version of the iconic BlackBerry Classic Q20.

Second man charged in Victorian childcare abuse investigation

Childcare Safety Crisis Sparks Urgent Reforms

Australian officials scramble to address safety concerns after disturbing allegations emerge from childcare centers.

Following shocking allegations of abuse in Victorian childcare centers, authorities are promising immediate action to protect children. The unfolding situation has triggered widespread concern, leading to governmental pledges for swift reforms, reviews, and support for affected families.

Government Response

**Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan** announced the state government will immediately establish a register for childcare workers and expedite a policy to prohibit personal devices in childcare centers.

To avoid delay, we’ll be putting all Victorian childcare centres on notice,” **Allan** stated. “They will be required to adopt this ban on personal devices, effective from September 26.

Centers not complying with the ban could face fines up to A$50,000 (approximately $54,000 AUD).

An urgent review into childcare safety will also be commissioned, with more details expected later this week. This review will explore installing CCTV cameras and implementing a “four eyes” principle, ensuring children are never alone with a single adult.

Additionally, the review will assess whether the current five-year timeframe for working with children checks should be shortened. Note that in 2023, there were 5,391 offences recorded against children aged 0-14 years (Australian Bureau of Statistics).

National Level Action

**Education Minister Jason Clare** described the issue of predators in childcare settings as “serious” and requiring “serious action.”

The government has already taken steps, including banning personal mobile phones in centers and reducing the mandatory reporting timeframe for sexual or physical abuse complaints from seven days to 24 hours.

**Clare** has promised further reforms, such as cutting off funding to centers failing to meet minimum standards and changing background checks for workers.

It’s taken too long to do the work necessary to make sure that our Working with Children Check system is up to scratch,” **Clare** said.

**Clare** cautioned that a working with children check is not a “silver bullet,” emphasizing it is only one measure among many needed to ensure child safety.

Impact on Families

**Victoria’s** chief health officer, **Christian McGrath**, reported that 2,600 families have been contacted following the arrest of **Brown**. The Department of Health recommended 1,200 children undergo screening and testing as a precautionary measure.

Some families will be eligible for a $5,000 support payment to help with alternative care arrangements, loss of earnings, and other needs.

These measures aim to address the immediate crisis and lay the groundwork for a safer childcare environment.
