Darkfost posted on platform X that Bitcoin is approaching the average cost price of two types of holding groups: investors holding for 18 months to 2 years have an average cost price of about $88,350, while investors holding for 6 to 12 months have an average cost price of about $89,200.Darkfost pointed out that the cost price is the average holding cost of the group, not a natural support or resistance level; as the price approaches this range, the behavior of related investors may change, and this area can be seen as a potential risk zone. The group of investors holding for 6 to 12 months has overall been at a loss for nearly a year, with some investors possibly having bought in at market peaks; some investors may sell after breaking even, while others may continue to buy to lower their holding costs.

According to Decrypt, the European Union's law enforcement agency reported that Spanish police arrested a 16-year-old Romanian suspect in Alicante, suspected of being an administrator and main operator of the ransomware group KillSec.Two other suspects in their twenties were arrested in the UK and Romania, respectively; another developer who just turned 18 in August this year has been identified but has not been arrested due to some crimes occurring during their minor years.This operation, codenamed Operation KillSwitch, was led by the Hamburg State Criminal Police and the city's prosecution office, focusing on approximately 1,000 suspected attacks worldwide, with about 500 confirmed as successful intrusions.Law enforcement searched eight locations in Spain, Greece, Romania, and the UK, seized five central servers, and redirected related domain names to seizure announcement pages, while also confiscating at least 110 TB of stolen data.KillSec has been active since around 2024, exploiting software vulnerabilities and poorly secured cloud storage entry points to infiltrate corporate systems, copying internal data and naming victim organizations on dark web leak sites, threatening to publicly release documents to demand cryptocurrency ransoms, and if the target refuses to pay, they release the data for free.The Swiss Federal Police noted that the group also employed double extortion tactics, first encrypting servers and then applying pressure. U.S. prosecutors' charges indicate that a Dutch national residing in the UK, Fouad Eltibrizi (nicknamed Archduke), was indicted by a federal grand jury in Puerto Rico on September 16, subsequently arrested, and awaiting extradition, facing up to 10 years in prison.

The Core Lightning team, which develops the open-source Bitcoin Lightning Network node software, has issued an urgent alert stating that reports indicate attackers are targeting nodes that have not installed patches, urging operators still running old versions to upgrade immediately. The team stated: "Emergency security update: If you are using version 26.06.7 or earlier, please upgrade to the latest release as soon as possible."Prior to this, Core Lightning began investigating a potential issue that could affect its experimental features and, in turn, impact user funds on September 16, and approximately six days later, version 26.06.8 was released. This update not only fixed several defects but also provided patches for security vulnerabilities reported responsibly by multiple parties, thanking the Bitcoin Red Team and 12 other individuals and organizations in the release notes, while also acknowledging anonymous reporters.According to the changelog, this round of fixes covers a bug that could cause sender nodes to crash, requests that could exhaust REST interface memory, and a vulnerability that could result in user funds facing confiscation losses when closing payment channels. To provide operators with ample upgrade windows and prevent attackers from taking advantage of reverse engineering and exploitation, this version intentionally obscured some testing content. Additionally, in August of this year, the project initiated a collaborative fixing process after reviewing a large number of AI-generated general vulnerability disclosure reports, and two days later released version 26.06.7 to close confirmed vulnerabilities.
