UPDATE: 🇺🇸 The US is moving closer to a formal regulatory framework for stablecoins. The OCC has finalized its GENIUS Act rules, setting requirements for reserve backing, redemptions, audits, and risk management for stablecoin issuers under its jurisdiction. The rules also establish how certain state-qualified and foreign issuers will be supervised under the federal framework. The requirements are scheduled to take effect on January 18, 2027.

🚨 BREAKING: The Internet Is Facing a Wave of Cybersecurity Alerts. Two critical PHP vulnerabilities dubbed “PHP2Shell,” rated 9.2/10, have triggered global warnings. The flaws could compromise vulnerable websites. Patches arrived already, but exploitation was reportedly already underway. Cloudflare’s CEO reported hacking attempts jumping from thousands to millions within hours. CrowdStrike warned attacks may leave little trace, while Cloudflare says attackers are adapting to bypass its protections. Unsupported PHP versions may require upgrades, and patching alone won’t remove existing backdoors. Other cybersecurity incidents include: • Japan: Onamae suspended all Desktop Cloud plans after malware was found on customer servers. • India: eMudhra had eight weak website-certificate keys, including one set to “4.” • Banking: State Bank of India confirmed 3,897 customer records appeared on the dark web. • America: AI agents were reportedly used to attack 400+ banks. • Capcom: Confirmed a breach exposing 11.7 million email addresses. • GitLab: Disclosed a 10/10-severity flaw affecting versions dating back to 2014. • LiteLLM and Railway: LiteLLM removed a malware-infected release; Railway reported possible exposure of customer secrets. Governments, banks and major platforms have already taken their websites offline. The full scale of the damage may take months to establish.

🚨 BREAKING: JPMorgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Morgan Stanley reportedly detected unauthorized AI agents accessing customer accounts.
