AI developer ORO discloses that North Korean hackers stole its cryptocurrency worth $630,000
ChainCatcher news: According to Protos, AI shopping agent developer ORO disclosed that it lost approximately $630,000 due to a suspected North Korean hacker attack. The attackers gained access to the ORO team by using a compromised Telegram account to send employees a fake Microsoft Teams link, tricking them into installing a malicious extension. After nearly a month of data theft, they stole 147,000 Alpha tokens on July 13. ORO is highly confident that the attack originated from North Korean hacking group Sapphire Sleet.
ORO also admitted to its own security oversight — due to inadequate hardware wallet support in the Bittensor protocol, the company “temporarily” set the owner’s key as a software wallet, violating its internal hardware wallet priority principle, which resulted in the key being stolen from a compromised computer. ORO stated that it is working with exchanges, law enforcement, and Bittensor ecosystem partners to recover the stolen assets, and emphasized that its subnet is operating normally, with other wallets, user data, and validator signing keys unaffected.

BUZZ - Goldman Sachs says the price cap on cancer drugs has limited impact on Indian hospitals
October 9 – Goldman Sachs pointed out that India's implementation of a 30% profit margin cap on non-scheduled anticancer drugs (link) will have limited impact on hospitals. The report states that, based on preliminary discussions with hospital chain groups, such drugs account for less than 5% of hospital revenue and 2% to 2.5% of operating profit. The report adds that hospitals can offset the losses by slightly adjusting service charges, such as administration fees. According to a government notice, an expert committee will finalize the list of drugs to be brought under regulation. Driven by the anticipated price cap, the share prices of Max Healthcare MAXE.NS, Apollo Hospitals APLH.NS, and Fortis Healthcare FOHE.NS rose by 1.6% to 2.5%. Previously, since September 30, these stocks had collectively declined by 11% to 11.5%. Year-to-date, FOHE and MAXE are down 11.7% and 14.8%, respectively, while APLH has risen by 11%.
