On August 16th, according to a report by Axios, citing three sources familiar with the matter, in mid-May, US negotiators encountered a problem when attempting to reach an agreement with Iran to end the war: they were unsure whether the Iranian representatives across the negotiating table truly represented the countrys powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The report stated that, therefore, Trump administration officials took an unusual approach—bypassing Iranian negotiators and contacting the IRGC leadership directly. The person chosen by the US to oversee this secret communication channel was Nechirvan Barzani, the president of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. He possessed an extremely rare advantage: the trust of both the US and the IRGC leadership. This incident highlights that a key reason for the difficulties in US-Iran negotiations lies in Washingtons inability to ascertain who truly holds decision-making power in Iran. The US and Iran did ultimately reach a memorandum of understanding, but it quickly collapsed.August 16 (Yonhap) -- Several North Korean soldiers recently crossed the Military Demarcation Line in the eastern region, prompting South Korean forces to fire warning shots.

Spambots Promote “YouTube” NFTs, Opensea Confirms

The Discord server of NFT marketplace Opensea has been hacked.

Spambots have been spreading links to restricted sites. YouTube Social media channel hacking have been on the increase this year, according to NFTs.

While hacks and attacks are common in the Decentralized Finance field, it's rare for its centralized social media platforms to experience the same.

However, the crypto sector has been seeing the latter over the previous several weeks, with Opensea being the most recent addition to the mix.


Another hack of Opensea!

The NFT marketplace, which is based on Ethereum, reported that their Discord server had been hacked a few hours ago. PeckShieldAlert and Serpent, two accounts related with blockchain security, confirmed the same.

Serpent was the first to submit a snapshot of the Discord channel, where spambots seemed to be posting links to a URL called "yoytubenft.art."

The hackers attempted to entice investors to the phishing website by saying that these NFTs were scarce, with just 100 in existence and over 80% minted out.


PeckShieldAlert shared a snapshot of the same website with a warning about hackers attempting to steal people's private keys by deceiving them into granting them token approval and/or purchasing scam tokens.

"Do not open links in our Discord," said the most recent update from Opensea at the time of writing.

We're still looking into this and will update you as soon as we receive more information."

However, this isn't the first time that Opensea users have been hacked. A phishing assault earlier this year cost Opensea subscribers around $1.7 million in NFTs.

A victim even filed a $1 million lawsuit against the marketplace, alleging that the site continued to operate despite the problems.
