More →Critical Shiba Inu (SHIB) Warning: Here’s the Latest Threat
The SHIB Army, the collective term for Shiba Inu holders, supporters, traders, and enthusiasts, has once again found itself in the crosshairs of scammers. Such schemes can lead to painful losses, so here’s how users can protect themselves. Recently, an X account falsely claimed a Shiba Inu airdrop was “back,” telling users they were eligible for the dubious campaign after they completed a supposed wallet verification check. The mysterious person or entity also provided a link, but people should not click it, as it was flagged as a scam. Long-time Shiba Inu community member Marzael.shib <a href="https://x.com/Mazrael_shib/status/2109464475833147516" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">warned</a> that no such token distribution exists, calling the development “a drainer.” “They are flooding the timeline; recommend not clicking and report,” they added. The X account BSCN also sounded the alarm on the matter. The team <a href="https://x.com/BSCNews/status/2109920444170359054" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">said</a> the real danger comes when users connect their wallets and sign malicious approvals. “Those permissions can allow scammers to transfer tokens without stealing a victim’s password,” the warning reads. The popular meme coin boasts a vast and devoted community, making it a frequent target for scammers. Earlier this year, Shibarium Trustwatch (an X account dedicated to warning Shiba Inu users about potential threats) <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/critical-warning-shiba-inu-shib-community-faces-new-threat/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">warned</a> about numerous fraud attempts involving the SOU NFT. Its team clarified that users will never receive the non-fungible token in question, and that eligible users can claim it only through Shiba Inu’s official website. “Do not click on shared, shortened, or copied links. Scammers often create fake websites that look identical to the real one in order to steal funds. Always type the official address directly into your browser and verify you are on the correct domain before connecting your wallet. Never share your private keys or seed phrase with anyone under any circumstances,” it added. Prior to that, the same X account <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/critical-warning-concerning-shiba-inu-shib-users-details/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">warned</a> that bad actors created a malicious website impersonating Shiba Inu’s official platform. The fake site includes “special” promotions and false claims of collaborations and presale bonuses, designed to lure people into connecting their wallets. The meme coin’s price has plunged by nearly 12% over the past week. However, the main reason for the drop appears to be the overall decline in the cryptocurrency market during that period, not the scam warning that could have spread panic across the community. As of this writing, SHIB trades around $0.000005163 (per CoinGecko), down 95% from its late-2021 all-time high. Analysts have been relatively sile

Iran intensifies strikes on transit vessels; U.S. says Iran uses small-boat scouts to lock onto targets
According to news from Bijie, Iran has intensified its attacks on passing ships, and the United States says Iran is using small-boat scouts to lock onto targets. Citing two senior Iranian officials, foreign media reported that Iran is deploying new tactics aimed at ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz in order to keep oil prices high and influence the outcome of the U.S. midterm elections. The two officials declined to disclose specific details of the new strategy, but one of them said Iran began about 10 days ago using a different method of attack against vessels it believes are violating relevant restrictive measures, and said this has led to an increase in the number of attacks on such ships. The officials said the decision to adopt the new strategy had been approved at Iran's highest leadership level and fully coordinated within the country's governing system. A U.S. military official confirmed that Iran has changed its operational tactics in an important respect: after the United States destroyed a large portion of Iran's radar capabilities, the Revolutionary Guard began using unarmed scouts aboard small boats to find potential targets, including U.S. warships.

Galaxy Securities: A super El Niño has formed, and soybean meal and other commodities are expected to trend stronger in the near term.
According to Coin World News, Galaxy Securities: A super El Niño has formed, and recent trends in soybean meal and other commodities are expected to be relatively strong. A research report from Galaxy Securities states that a super El Niño has formed. Looking ahead, soybean meal, rapeseed meal, the three major edible oils, and white sugar are expected to be relatively strong in the near term, while corn, live hogs, and cotton are expected to fluctuate. The core main line is the forward weather premium injected by the super strong El Niño, combined with U.S. soybeans being "oversold after bad news" and then fluctuating upward, raising import costs. Soybean meal is relatively strong due to the resonance of bad news being fully priced in, a phased tightening of domestic supply, and the weather premium; rapeseed meal moves in tandem with soybean meal. Edible oils receive triple support: the weather premium, relatively strong crude oil benefiting biodiesel, and U.S. soybeans having fully priced in bad news, raising the cost of soy complex. White sugar is driven by expectations of a global production decline ignited by El Niño, with raw sugar strengthening and the domestic-international price spread narrowing, while the import cost support for Zhengzhou sugar rises.
