We compiled the week's most important cybersecurity news. Microsoft disabled dozens of GitHub repositories after an attack on Claude Code users. Hacktivists targeted users in Ukraine via a WinRAR vulnerability. OpenClaw failed phishing tests. A disgruntled researcher continued a “war” with Microsoft after patches for earlier vulnerabilities. Microsoft disabled dozens of GitHub repositories after attack on Claude Code users Microsoft temporarily restricted access to dozens of its open-source repositories on GitHub after malware was inserted into code. Researchers at Cloudsmith and OpenSourceMalware reported the Miasma campaign. At least 70 projects were affected, many of them related to the Azure platform. These included repositories with tools developers use in AI coding applications, including Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and VS Code. According to the researchers, the malware targeted the theft of passwords and other sensitive credentials. It triggered when users opened the compromised tools. Cloudsmith recommended the following defensive measures: immediately change SSH keys, GitHub tokens, passwords for cloud services (Azure/GCP), and access to automated build systems; look for hidden processes in code editors (VS Code), unknown AI utilities, and new unexplained folders (repositories) in the company’s GitHub; going forward, avoid downloading updates for third-party libraries from the internet. Create an approved software list and keep an inventory. Microsoft spokesperson Ben Hope told TechCrunch the company temporarily removed some repositories to review potentially malicious content. Some have already been restored. Hacktivists targeted users in Ukraine via a WinRAR vulnerability Hacktivists from SHADOW-EARTH-066 (UAC-0226) and Gamaredon attacked Ukrainian government agencies through a vulnerability in the WinRAR archiver, according to Trend Micro and Sekoia researchers. A directory traversal flaw allows attackers, during archive extraction, to stealthily save malicious files outside the target folder—directly into startup. An example lure document used to create urgency and force interaction. Source: Trend Micro. According to the researchers, the infection chains work as follows: SHADOW-EARTH-066. Uses archives with fake PDF documents to silently install the GIFTEDCROOK infostealer. The program steals passwords from browsers and targeted documents. Notably, due to blocks in Russia, the hackers stopped using Telegram for data exfiltration and switched to their own servers; Gamaredon. The group, linked to the FSB, uses the exploit “at industrial scale.” Its multi-stage attack deploys loaders that deliver the GammaWorm worm (spreads via infected USB drives) and the GammaSteel stealer (uploads stolen files to AWS). Experts note that deep integration of an outdated WinRAR version into day-to-day operations at organizations in Ukraine makes it an ideal entry point for hacking campaigns. OpenClaw failed phishing tests Varonis researchers evaluated OpenClaw as an AI agent for email and concluded the system is vulnerable to techniques typically used against humans. They simulated four phishing attacks and tested the agent in two configurations. For the tests, OpenClaw was connected to Gmail, browser tools, the Google Workspace API, and a set of synthetic internal data. The framework was tested on Google Gemini 3.1 Pro and OpenAI GPT-5.4 in standard and “strict” modes with separate instructions for identity verification and anti-phishing procedures. Source: Varonis. Phishing simulations: impersonation of a team lead requesting access to a test environment during a supposed production incident. OpenClaw found and sent AWS IAM keys, database credentials, and SSH access details to an external Gmail address; a request to export client data under the pretext of working remotely on a presentation. The agent extracted and sent a CRM export containing client records, contact information, contract details, and revenue data without verifying the sender’s identity; the AI system received a fake gift card email containing a phishing link. In the standard configuration, the agent visited the phishing site and attempted to redeem the gift card using fabricated credentials before eventually recognizing the page as malicious. The strict configuration blocked the attack immediately; researchers created a malicious Google OAuth app disguised as a time-tracking platform. OpenClaw verified the OAuth authorization process, analyzed the destination, flagged the app as suspicious, and denied access. Disgruntled researcher continues “war” with Microsoft after patches for previous bugs A cybersecurity researcher using the alias Nightmare Eclipse disclosed a new 0-day vulnerability in Microsoft Defender, dubbed RoguePlanet. The exploit allows attackers to escalate privileges to the SYSTEM level and execute arbitrary code even on fully updated machines running Windows 10 and Windows 11. The incident was a continuation of a public dispute between the hacker and the tech giant. Back in April, Nightmare Eclipse promised to publish zero-day vulnerabilities after each patch released by Microsoft engineers. The June update closed several of his previous findings (GreenPlasma, MiniPlasma, and YellowKey), prompting the immediate release of RoguePlanet. ThreatLocker cybersecurity specialists told BleepingComputer they successfully reproduced the attack in their own testing. They confirmed the exploit works on fully updated Windows 11 systems with patch KB5094126 installed. South Korean tech giant fined $400 million over data breach South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) imposed a record fine of 624.6 billion won (about $409 million) on tech giant Coupang after a large-scale data leak. According to the regulator, insufficient security measures—including issues with authentication key management and access control—exposed the personal data of about 37.55 million people. Subsidiary Coupang Fulfillment Service was separately fined 248 million won for the unlawful collection, use, and processing of customers’ personal and sensitive data. PIPC also pointed to violations of data destruction and breach notification requirements, as well as interference with the work of an independent data protection officer and obstruction of the investigation. The breach occurred in June 2025 but was discovered only in November. A month later, Coupang said 33.7 million accounts were compromised. According to law enforcement, the main suspect is a 43-year-old Chinese national who worked in the company’s IT division in 2022–2024. Also on ForkLog: Eurojust shut down the AudiA6 crypto service. Anthropic CEO called for tighter oversight of AI models. Meta removed the facial recognition feature from its smart glasses after a scandal. The Raydium liquidity pool suffered a $1.34 million hack.

Anthropic has suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, which were introduced on June 9, due to a directive from the US government under export control regulations. The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.The net effect of…— Anthropic (@AnthropicAI) June 13, 2026 The company stated that the directive formally prohibits access by any foreign nationals, including foreign Anthropic employees, leading to a complete service shutdown. Anthropic's statement was published on June 12. According to the company, the directive was received the same day at 5:21 PM Eastern Time. The letter lacked specifics on national security risks. Anthropic linked the authorities' decision to techniques bypassing Fable 5's safeguards. The company claims to have reviewed the demonstration and found only a small number of previously known minor vulnerabilities. According to them, such vulnerabilities are relatively simple, and other publicly available models can also identify them without bypassing safeguards. Before launching Fable 5, its security mechanisms were tested by the US government, the British AISI, several third-party organizations, and internal teams. Thousands of hours were spent on testing. Anthropic stated that a universal jailbreak for the model has not yet been found. The company reminded that Fable 5 has a 30-day data retention policy for clients to investigate and close bypasses. However, according to them, the government only provided verbal information about a possible narrow, non-universal jailbreak. The supposed technique, as described by Anthropic, involved asking the model to read specific code bases and fix software errors. Anthropic stated it reviewed the report believed to be the basis for the directive and concluded that the demonstrated capabilities are also available in other models, including OpenAI's GPT-5.5. The company emphasized that it will comply with the legal requirement but disagrees with the withdrawal of a commercial product due to a narrow potential bypass. In their view, such a standard for the entire industry would effectively halt the launch of new models. Access to other Anthropic products remains unchanged. The company apologized to customers and stated it is working to resolve what it called a "misunderstanding." Earlier in June, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged the US to tighten its approach to AI regulation and move from a disclosure regime to mandatory safety checks for the most powerful AI models.

The U.S. government killed Anthropic’s most capable artificial intelligence (AI) models on June 12, 2026, and crypto markets betting on the company’s so-called private valuation immediately felt it.

Tom Lee, the co-founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors and Chairman of BitMine Immersion Technologies, recently provided a compelling explanation for the lackluster performance of the cryptocurrency market.

In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin topped the trading volume charts on both Binance and Coinbase, with 1.07 billion USDT and $586.09 million, respectively, and appeared significantly stronger than Ethereum. The ETH/BTC pair fell by 1.74%. However, the trading structure did not support a bullish interpretation: the movement remained narrow, the volume did not confirm BTC's rise, and only four out of ten assets closed in the green on each platform. The gap between Bitcoin and Ethereum was evident not only in price. On Coinbase, BTC's rise received directional confirmation, as did ETH's decline. This differentiated the two largest assets in terms of movement: demand was concentrated in Bitcoin, while Ethereum lagged not only in relative dynamics but also in the quality of accompanying volume. BTC's leadership in trading volume across two platforms with different audience structures was not a coincidence. Liquidity flowed into Bitcoin rather than Ethereum or riskier altcoins. This is a key signal for assessing the session. Growth Without Full Confirmation However, the movement structure does not provide grounds for straightforward conclusions. BTC's growth was not confirmed by volume—the price movement lacked the support needed to interpret it as a strong directional impulse. Conversely, ETH's decline received moderate volume confirmation. Bitcoin ended the period near the upper boundary of its daily range, indicating resilience rather than weakness. Ethereum remained in the middle of its range, not suggesting a return of buyer initiative. The market breadth also did not support a bullish scenario. On both Binance and Coinbase, only four out of ten assets closed in the green. The growth did not encompass most of the liquid instruments—the market concentrated demand in a limited number of names rather than demonstrating a broad-based rise. Among the top performers, HOME showed the best 24-hour movement with a 1.53% increase, while NEAR had the worst with a 6.24% drop. However, it's worth noting that HOME closed near the lower boundary of its daily range, so the percentage change should not be read in isolation from the closing position. NEAR's decline highlights that pressure on some altcoins persists even on a day when Bitcoin maintains trading volume leadership on both exchanges. General Interest Exists, But No Appetite for Risk The overlap of top assets on Binance and Coinbase included BTC, ETH, NEAR, SOL, XRP, and ZEC. This is a snapshot of assets that simultaneously attracted attention from two major platforms. However, even within this core, the distribution of strength remained uneven: BTC led in trading volume, ETH lagged in relative dynamics, and NEAR showed the worst movement among the top assets. There was noticeable interest in major assets, but it did not translate into a unified appetite for risk across the spectrum of liquid coins. The backdrop of previous days reinforces this interpretation rather than a more aggressive one. On June 8, Strategy announced the purchase of 1,550 BTC for $101.3 million. The transactions occurred from June 1 to 7 at an average price of $65,332 per coin and were funded through the sale of 1,409,600 MSTR shares via an ATM program. Following this purchase, the company's reserve increased to 845,256 BTC, and its fiat reserve to $1 billion. The new addition to the corporate reserve supported interest in Bitcoin as the main demand object. However, the intraday picture showed a more restrained conclusion: the market confirms interest specifically in BTC, not in a broader segment of altcoins. In the end, the session appeared as a day of liquidity concentration in the leading cryptocurrency without full confirmation of a broad market reversal. Earlier, Standard Chartered stated that Bitcoin had formed a bottom at $59,000, marking the end of the crypto winter.

This week, "Deconstruction" focuses on SpaceX's historic IPO, new EU sanctions, a tax bill in Russia, strict checks in the prediction market, Anthropic's closed AI model, a critical Zcash wallet update, and Strategy's Bitcoin sale. EU Sanctions and Russia's Crypto Tax Bill The European Commission introduced its 21st sanctions package, which for the first time includes direct restrictions on cryptocurrency platforms and a mechanism to block services from third countries. Transferring funds abroad will become as difficult as through a bank: users will have to prove the legality of transactions or switch to non-custodial wallets. Meanwhile, Russia has passed the first reading of a bill on the taxation of crypto transactions. The document makes it feasible for businesses to use stablecoins, allowing companies to legally write off the costs of purchasing them as expenses. The main change is the mandatory collection of documents when paying taxes. If an asset is purchased from a private individual without receipts or statements, the tax authorities will consider the entire sale amount as income and levy tax on the entire withdrawn volume. Users will need to carefully keep all transaction histories and receipts. Two New AI Models from Anthropic Anthropic released its flagship Fable 5 for long and complex tasks. During testing, the model was able to transfer a codebase of 50 million lines in one day, a task that would take a development team two months. The second model, the closed flagship Mythos 5, is available only to trusted partners. Both models are priced the same. The main difference lies in their protective filters. Fable redirects sensitive requests, while Mythos bypasses these filters. This is why the closed model excels at detecting cybersecurity vulnerabilities and accelerates certain stages of drug development by about ten times. SpaceX IPO and Crypto Market Sell-Off Investor demand for SpaceX's initial public offering exceeded $250 billion. Elon Musk's wealth reached $982 billion, bringing him closer to becoming a trillionaire. Investors are selling digital assets to buy Musk's shares. The liquidity outflow has caused a money shortage in the crypto market and is one of the main reasons for Bitcoin's 37% drop from its January highs. An indirect risk comes from SpaceX's own reserves. The company holds over 18,000 BTC on its balance sheet. After the IPO, decisions about their fate will be made by the board of directors. If they decide to lock in profits and sell these assets to improve quarterly reports, it will create additional pressure on Bitcoin's price. Insiders in Prediction Markets Prediction markets have grown into a serious financial tool and are beginning to face criminal charges. A U.S. Army serviceman earned $410,000 by betting on the outcome of a secret operation he was involved in planning. In response, platforms are transferring classic stock market rules to the new environment. The Kalshi platform has significantly tightened its rules. Each new market is assigned a risk rating. If the score is high, the user must undergo employer verification. The platform checks access to confidential information and, if necessary, simply does not allow trading. Zcash Vulnerability and Ironwood Update An independent auditor in the Zcash network's shielded pool discovered a critical vulnerability that allowed the creation of an unlimited number of new coins. Hackers did not manage to exploit the bug, but the cryptocurrency lost more than 50% of its value following the news. Developers temporarily disabled the vulnerable part of the blockchain and fixed the error, after which the rate recovered by 41.5%. To address the security issue, developers have scheduled the July Ironwood update. The old vulnerable pool will be completely isolated. Users need to update their software during this period, or any new transfers to old wallets will be automatically rejected by the network. Bitcoin Decline and Strategy's Debt Risks Bitcoin has lost 28% over the month. Analysts cite different bottom levels—ranging from $60,000 to $35,000. Pressure on the market comes from capital flow into tech IPOs, U.S. Treasury crypto seizures, and actions by Strategy, which holds 845,000 BTC and has sold part of its reserves for the first time. The real issue for Strategy lies in its obligations to retail investors. The company has preferred shares with dividends of 11.5% per annum. About six months of payments are pledged on the balance sheet. In a declining market, the company faces a choice: either reduce dividends or sell Bitcoin. The structure relies solely on the constant growth of the asset's price. This is a shortened version of the podcast.

Ethereum is seeing rapid accumulation from large holders despite the weak market conditions, suggesting that a major price move may be ahead.

Bitcoin has already hit the bottom of the current cycle at $59,000, according to Standard Chartered analyst Geoffrey Kendrick, reports CoinDesk. Kendrick attributes the recent correction to a mix of macroeconomic uncertainty, reduced risk appetite, and capital outflows from cryptocurrency investment products. However, he believes most negative factors have already been priced in by the market. Crypto Winter May Be Over Kendrick noted that the drop to $59,000 was accompanied by investor capitulation and a sharp deterioration in market sentiment—signs historically observed near local lows. "Winter is over. Welcome back to crypto spring," he stated. He believes the market is laying the groundwork for a new growth phase, with current levels appearing attractive for long-term investors. Institutional Demand Remains Standard Chartered continues to view institutional capital inflows through spot ETFs and corporate treasury strategies as key drivers for Bitcoin. The analyst also pointed to ongoing Bitcoin purchases by public companies, including Strategy, which continue to build reserves despite high market volatility. Optimistic Outlook Maintained Despite the recent correction, the bank maintains a long-term positive outlook on Bitcoin. Previous forecasts by Standard Chartered suggested Bitcoin's price could reach $200,000 by 2026, driven by further institutional investment and the expansion of digital assets in the traditional financial system. Kendrick emphasized that while short-term volatility remains high, fundamental factors continue to support a long-term upward trend. BIT Analysts Predict Bitcoin Could Fall to $50,000 Analysts at the crypto platform BIT believe the market has not yet reached its final bottom and will remain under pressure in the coming weeks. https://t.co/4KKkLIgXCd— BIT Official (@BITofficial_EN) June 12, 2026 They assess that Bitcoin has entered the final phase of a bear cycle and continues to move within a classic Elliott corrective wave model A-B-C. The first wave of decline in February brought the price to the $60,000–69,000 range, followed by a rebound to $83,000. The market is now in the process of forming wave C, which could end around $50,000–55,000. Analysts note that sentiment indicators remain at levels typical for the final stages of bear markets. The Fear and Greed Index has approached values seen near the 2022 bottom, and several technical metrics indicate the asset is deeply oversold. An important benchmark highlighted by experts is Bitcoin's Realized Price, currently around $54,600. Historically, prices have rarely stayed below this level for extended periods. Next Cycle Could Be Triggered by Inflation Slowdown Analysts cite the macroeconomic situation as a key factor for market recovery. They believe, as in 2022, the start of a new bull cycle will depend on a reversal of the inflation trend and easing financial conditions. BIT suggests that the final bottom formation could take another one to three months. Confirmation of the end of the crypto winter would be Bitcoin's price returning above the 21-week moving average and an improvement in long-term cyclical indicators. Previously, Galaxy Research suggested the current market cycle's minimum could be in the $40,000-46,000 range.
