Luxor CEO Nick Hanson warned that crypto companies face relentless AI-enabled attacks, with malicious models running around the clock to find and exploit vulnerabilities. He said Luxor has spent the past four to six weeks largely pausing new feature development to strengthen security and even bought its own GPUs to run AI models against its infrastructure. The warning came after yesterday's attack on Luxor's Commander software, which redirected customer mining hashrate through what Hanson called a sophisticated AI-enabled attack vector. Luxor said it patched the vulnerability quickly and will fully compensate affected customers. Despite the breach, Hanson stressed that Luxor's security systems defended clients against several other attack vectors over the same period. "Some folks are grave dancing," he wrote, defending the company's security capabilities while acknowledging it needs to improve. He warned that AI-powered attacks are accelerating as models improve and more attackers enter the field. "Stay frosty." Hanson added that he had wanted to discuss what the past four to six weeks in the trenches had been like but had been unsure how to approach the topic.

Shiba Inu has formed its first daily death cross in 14 months, adding a fresh bearish signal to a price slide that has taken SHIB below $0.000004. TradingView chart data shows the token's 50-day moving average crossing beneath its 200-day moving average, the first such event since September 2025. SHIB fell to $0.0000037 on Saturday, capping a fourth consecutive session of losses that began on November 11 and pushing the meme coin toward its weakest trading levels of the year. A death cross reflects fading momentum over an extended stretch rather than an outright forecast of further declines. Its arrival coincides with heavy selling and a broad wave of liquidations across digital assets. Total cryptocurrency liquidations reached $1.96 billion within 24 hours as volatility picked up, according to CoinGlass, following weeks of falling prices and unusually subdued trading activity. Forced selling has added pressure to a market already strained by weak investor demand. Stablecoin supply offers a second warning. Glassnode analysts put the contraction at $17 billion over the past month, the largest since 2022, attributing it to investors converting tokens back into traditional currencies and leaving less capital available for crypto purchases. Bitwise CEO Matt Hougan said the setup could produce an attractive buying opportunity but gave no view on timing. On the chart, immediate resistance sits near $0.000005, where both major daily moving averages converge. A sustained recovery toward that level would require stronger buying after the recent selloff. The $0.000003 mark is the potential support zone if sellers regain control and drive prices lower, a level that would matter more if broader market weakness persists. SHIB has bounced from Sunday's $0.0000037 low yet remains down 6.87% over 24 hours and 14% over seven days, underscoring how hard it will be for buyers to reverse the prevailing downtrend. With the death cross now confirmed, the token trades below key technical resistance, leaving broader market conditions to shape its recovery prospects.
