The Ethereum Foundation officially supports the cybersecurity nonprofit organization Security Alliance (SEAL) to strengthen defenses against the increasing wave of cryptocurrency theft attacks targeting Ethereum users. SEAL revealed that the foundation provides funding through its “Trillion-Dollar Security Program,” specifically hiring a security engineer to collaborate with intelligence teams to track and eliminate wallet theft and phishing activities targeting users.
These theft attacks are often circulated in underground forums in the form of malicious scripts or toolkits, allowing anyone without specialized technical skills to launch scams. Attackers frequently impersonate trusted protocol websites, guiding users to approve a few seemingly normal transactions. Once authorized, the digital assets in the wallet are quickly transferred out. Programs like Angel, Inferno, and others continue to update their versions and even persist after being “shut down,” continuing to spread.
SEAL cited data from ScamSniffer indicating that over the past few years, such attacks have caused nearly $1 billion in asset losses. To address this systemic threat, SEAL launched the “Trillion-Dollar Security” dashboard, providing real-time visual monitoring across six key dimensions: user experience, smart contracts, infrastructure, consensus protocols, monitoring and incident response, and social governance.
SEAL stated that its collaboration with the Ethereum Foundation is just the beginning, and in the future, other blockchain ecosystems and foundations are also welcome to adopt similar sponsorship models to jointly expand user protection. Notably, SEAL’s efforts have already shown results, with data indicating that losses from “vampire” attacks have dropped to a historic low of approximately $84 million in 2025.
The organization was founded in 2023 by white-hat hacker samczsun and is dedicated to providing rapid response and collaborative threat intelligence. Last year, MetaMask, Phantom Wallet, WalletConnect, and Backpack joined its real-time anti-phishing network, forming a cross-platform security alliance. As blockchain applications continue to expand, such security collaborations are becoming a vital line of defense in safeguarding user assets.

U.S. non-farm payrolls added 130,000 jobs in January, far exceeding expectations, with the unemployment rate dropping to 4.3%. This result significantly dampened market expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, leading to sharp fluctuations in the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin plummeted over $3,000 in a single night, and Ethereum fell below $2,000. Although it has a short-term impact on the market, the substantial downward revision of the 2025 employment data may suggest underlying economic weakness, and investors should pay attention to future economic trends.

Tom Lee—From Wall Street Strategist to Ethereum's Largest Bull
Author: Climber, CryptoPulseLabs
Over the past few years, if you had to pick one person from Wall Street who understands how to frame Ethereum as a macro asset, Tom Lee would definitely be at the top of the list.
For many traditional financial investors, he is the strategist who repeatedly emphasizes in the media that "U.S. stocks will rise, Bitcoin will rise, Ethereum will rise"; for participants in the crypto market, he’s more like an alternative narrative accelerant. Whenever the market is hesitant, cautious, or emotionally subdued, he often uses stronger language and more aggressive target prices to bring Bitcoin and Ethereum back into the spotlight of mainstream finance.
But Tom Lee’s influence didn’t come out of nowhere. He didn’t start in the crypto world, nor did he build his reputation through social media hype; he is a classic Wall Street analyst. Having worked long-term in investment banks and research institutions, he specializes in macro
