Epidemic of Hacked Freezers Spreads Across Europe

In France, about 700 of 10,000 supermarkets were affected in October, and nine more countries reported refrigeration problems on Monday. France's CERT-FR links the compromises to remote controllers made by Danfoss and Copeland, and no group has claimed responsibility. Hackers forced a continuous defrost cycle, spoiling food and sparking fires at some stores, while units in Estonia were pushed to 50°C (122°F). Groupement Mousquetaires counted 300 affected stores, and Cooperative U said 80 of its 2,000 shops were hit. CERT-FR warns the campaigns are probably still ongoing, and Italy's government was set to hold a cybersecurity meeting on Tuesday.

  • For JPMorgan, Amazon, fighting AI bots like Meta Muse may not be a winning long-term strategy

    JPMorgan Chase, Charles Schwab, Amazon, Neiman Marcus and Kohl's have moved to block personal AI agents such as Meta Muse, even as consumers begin using them to find better savings rates, compare deals or cancel subscriptions. Walmart is opening its site to AI agents, while JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said the bank blocks external agents over security risks. An audit of 51 large U.S. retailers found only 11 have taken a clear position, 37 block agents largely through older bot rules, and none lets a verified agent complete a purchase. Accenture's Michael Abbott argues that blocking agents will be hard to win with over the long term, as 65% of consumers are open to an AI financial assistant but 82% want to approve every AI action.

  • Suspected EU crypto theft estimate rises to $133M: ZachXBT

    Blockchain investigator ZachXBT has raised his estimate of a suspected crypto theft from an unidentified EU entity to more than $133 million, after identifying another $27 million in exchange withdrawals. His working theory is that a large Western European financial institution was exploited and the incident is being covered up, though the victim's identity and the cover-up allegations remain unverified. He said the lack of proper disclosure allowed over $30 million to be laundered. Bitquery reported that $62.98 million in stablecoins was converted into 27,553 ETH within about four hours, and about $78.3 million remained in wallets linked to the suspected attacker as of 13:47 UTC Monday. Only $3.74 million remained in USDC that issuer Circle could potentially freeze.

  • US , European watchdogs intensify scrutiny of AI risks at banks

    U.S. and European banking regulators are intensifying scrutiny of AI risks as increasingly autonomous systems raise concerns about cyberattacks and global financial stability. According to sources, three major U.S. regulators, including the Federal Reserve, are asking banks about advanced AI models, whether they use Chinese-developed technology, and whether they can control AI agents used in cyber defense. In Europe, the Bank of England and the European Central Bank are pressing lenders to strengthen recovery plans, with the ECB having set an end-October deadline for plans to counter AI-enabled cyber threats. Banks may need to invest more in cyber recovery, review reliance on outside technology providers, and follow more formal guidance, though regulators have not yet prescribed specific requirements.

  • Binance deposits overtake withdrawals, and the SEC creates crypto FAQs on governance

    Binance recorded nearly $11 billion in withdrawals over 46 hours, but deposits now exceed withdrawals, leaving a cumulative net outflow of about $5.28 billion. The exchange says about 95% of effective assets have been replenished, and its reserve verification for 10 tokens showed backing of at least 1:1, although its SAFU fund is now below its disclosed ideal level. North Korea denies involvement in the $6.4 billion attack on Binance, though the host notes the wallets involved have been linked to past North Korean hacks. BlackRock bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $405.3 million on Monday, their biggest day since June. The SEC also released three guides on crypto governance and token status.

  • Elon Musk’s Tesla and SpaceX Block Their Stock From OKX-ICE Tokenized Venue

    Six more companies, including Amazon, Tesla, SpaceX, Netflix, Lam Research and SoFi Technologies, have objected to OKXICE TSV trading their shares, according to an updated notice dated Nov. 2. The total has risen to 56, from nine on Oct. 15 and 50 in the Oct. 30 notice. Under the SEC's innovation exemption, a timely written objection bars the venue from listing a third-party tokenized version of that stock, though the objection applies only to that venue. Apple is one of the few megacap names still not on the list, and the venue can still list shares that issuers tokenize themselves.

  • AMD and Sandisk Both Suffered Massive Price Swings But Sandisk is Absolutely Riskier

    Sandisk fell 37.49% and AMD dropped 26.36% over the past month despite strong earnings. Sandisk's fiscal Q1 2027 revenue reached $11.03B, up 377.9% year over year, largely driven by higher pricing, while AMD's revenue rose 50.1% to $11.54B, with Data Center making up 58% of the total. The author argues Sandisk carries more risk because it sells a single NAND product through a joint venture with Kioxia, its margins could reverse quickly, and consumer revenue fell 29% sequentially. AMD's broader product mix and multi-gigawatt AI deals are seen as easier to absorb a downturn, though its P/E near 176 leaves little room for error.

  • Nvidia Is Extremely Compelling Right Now And Here’s Why

    NVIDIA shares fell 13.63% over the past month to $202.06, even though revenue roughly doubled. Q2 fiscal 2027 revenue reached $96.22B, up 105.8% year over year, with non-GAAP EPS of $2.22 versus the $2.09 consensus, and Q3 revenue is guided to $108.0B, plus or minus 2%. The author says the stock trades at about 22 times the fiscal 2027 EPS consensus of $9.3124 and about 13 times the fiscal 2028 consensus of $15.9146, and that analysts made 7 upward revisions and no downward ones in 30 days. Risks include $279B of supply obligations, days sales outstanding rising to 60 from 45, and Q3 guidance that assumes no Data Center compute revenue from China. The author says they will continue accumulating on dips while estimates rise.

  • Investors Are Beginning to Say That Meta Is The Best Buy And Hold Stock Through 2030

    Meta shares fell 16.67% over the past month to $606.73, as a $9.89B settlement with 52 state attorneys general over teen mental health claims pulled GAAP EPS to $3.83 against a $5.70 consensus; without the charge, EPS would have been $7.40. Revenue rose 26.1% to $64.60B, with ad impressions up 10% and average price per ad up 14%. Meta plans $135B to $145B in 2026 capex, third-quarter free cash flow turned negative at $2.12B, and operating margin fell to 20% from 40%. The average analyst target is $848.38, implying 39.8% upside. The author argues the long-term case through 2030 depends on ad growth and Muse, which signed up more than 10 million users in about a month and a half.

  • XAU Resources Announces Planned Soil Sampling Program at the Noseno Gold Project, Guyana, Following Airborne Geophysics Interpretation

    XAU Resources (TSXV: GIG) plans to start a field exploration program in early November 2026 on the Noseno gold property in northwest Guyana, where it holds an option to acquire 100%. The first stage is a soil sampling campaign of approximately 790 samples over 39 line-km in the core of Target Area 1, part of a planned program of about 4,325 samples over two priority areas. Interpretation of 5,247 line-km of airborne magnetic and radiometric data, acquired in 1994 and covering 865 km², identified a major NW-SE structure and at least two interpreted intrusive bodies, which the company considers prospective targets. Selective grab samples from an artisanal working near the historical Williams prospect returned 51.55 g/t Au and 6.13 g/t Au from quartz veins, though the company notes these are not necessarily representative of mineralization on the property. The company could not independently verify the original 1994 data, so the airborne interpretation is indicative only and requires ground verification.
