This update allows users to access information about assets stored in wallet addresses directly from search results.
Tech giant Google shows data from Ethereum (ETH) wallets linked to Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domains. The novelty was initially noticed by Brantly Millegan, a former member of the ENS project team, who shared a screenshot on social media.
All data visible in search results is linked to the Etherscan aggregator. This means that by entering an ENS address into Google, any user can view wallet balances, based on the last external transaction recorded.
In this sense, this development raises questions about user privacy. Likewise, it highlights the growing intersection between search technology and the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Serious Vulnerability in Apple M Series Chips Could Compromise the Security of MacBook Devices
A group of prominent academics has revealed a worrying vulnerability affecting Apple’s M series chips, putting the security of MacBook devices at risk.
According to the report published on March 21 by researchers from several American universities, this vulnerability, identified as a side-channel exploit, could allow malicious actors to access sensitive encryption keys when Apple chips run common cryptographic protocols.
What is alarming about this finding is that, unlike conventional vulnerabilities, they can be corrected through software patches. This threat is rooted in the microarchitectural design of the chips’ own silicon, which means that it is not possible to resolve the issue through direct patches, posing a significant challenge to the security of affected devices.
Montenegrin Supreme Court Delays Extradition of Terraform Labs Co-Founder to South Korea
Montenegro Supreme Court has issued an order to postpone the extradition of Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs, to South Korea, while it decides on a request by the country’s prosecutors. In a statement issued on March 22, the Council of the Montenegro Supreme Court announced that it will rule on a request for protection of legality related to a previous decision by a lower court that would have allowed Kwon’s extradition.
Prosecutors argued in the request that an appeals court violated procedure by rejecting an appeal filed by Kwon’s legal team, stating that only the Montenegro Supreme Court had the authority to make a legal decision in this matter.
Sovereign Funds: Cautious about Bitcoin as New Investment Frontier
In a financial scenario marked by uncertainty, sovereign funds remain cautious about the possibility of entering the world of cryptocurrencies, specifically Bitcoin. Rumors that recently circulated about Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund’s potential foray into the crypto market sparked a debate about the risks and opportunities that this new asset class represents.
Speculation reached a fever pitch when one of the Emir of Qatar’s private jets landed on the island of Madeira along with Bitcoin, fueling speculation about Qatar’s possible foray into this market.
Some financial experts, such as Anthony Scaramucci, expressed gratitude for the idea that Qatar may have added Bitcoin to its investment portfolio. Meanwhile, others, such as Fadi Aboualfa, head of research at Copper, raise significant doubts about it.
Aboualfa discussed why sovereign wealth funds would invest in BTC rather than the security of five-year bonds that can offer risk-free returns of 5-6% annually. Aboualfa suggested that the country would be better off using its unmined natural gas for Bitcoin mining.
“This would be growth in terms of revenue versus the untapped natural resources they already have and the most expensive part of Bitcoin mining,” he added.
