In the news release, Bybit Uncovers AI-Assisted macOS Malware Campaign Targeting Users Searching for Claude Code, issued 21-Apr-2026 by Bybit over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the headline and 9th paragraph have been updated. The complete, corrected release follows:

AI empowered Bybit Security Team Uncovers macOS Malware Campaign Targeting Users Searching for Claude Code

DUBAI, UAE, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, reported that its Security Operations Center (SOC) disclosed findings detailing a sophisticated, multi-stage malware campaign targeting macOS users searching for “Claude Code,” an AI-powered development tool from Anthropic.

The report marks one of the first known disclosures by a centralized crypto exchange (CEX) of an active threat campaign targeting developers via AI tool discovery channels, underscoring the sector’s growing role in frontline cybersecurity intelligence.

First identified in March 2026, the campaign used search engine optimization (SEO) poisoning to elevate a malicious domain to the top of Google search results. Users were redirected to a spoofed installation page designed to closely resemble legitimate documentation, triggering a two-stage attack chain focused on credential harvesting, crypto asset targeting, and persistent system access.

The initial payload, delivered via a Mach-O dropper, deployed an osascript-based infostealer exhibiting characteristics similar to known AMOS and Banshee variants. It executed a multi-phase obfuscation sequence to extract sensitive data including browser credentials, macOS Keychain entries, Telegram sessions, VPN profiles, and cryptocurrency wallet information. Bybit researchers identified targeted access attempts against more than 250 browser-based wallet extensions and multiple desktop wallet applications.

A second-stage payload introduced a C++-based backdoor with advanced evasion capabilities, including sandbox detection and encrypted runtime configurations. The malware established persistence through system-level agents and enabled remote command execution via HTTP-based polling, granting attackers ongoing control over compromised devices.

Bybit’s SOC leveraged AI-assisted workflows across the full malware analysis lifecycle, significantly accelerating response time while maintaining analytical depth. Initial triage and classification of the Mach-O sample were completed within minutes, with models flagging behavioral similarities to known malware families.

AI-assisted reverse engineering and control-flow analysis reduced the time required for  deep inspection of the second-stage backdoor from an estimated six to eight hours to under 40 minutes. At the same time, automated extraction pipelines identified indicators of compromise (IOCs) – including command-and-control infrastructure, file signatures, and behavioral patterns – and mapped them to established threat frameworks.

These capabilities enabled same-day deployment of detection measures. AI-assisted rule generation supported the creation of threat signatures and endpoint detection rules, which analysts validated before being pushed into production environments. AI-generated reporting drafts further reduced turnaround time, allowing threat intelligence outputs to be finalized approximately 70% faster than traditional workflows.

“As one of the first crypto exchanges to publicly document this type of malware campaign, we believe sharing these findings is critical to strengthening collective defense across the industry,” said David Zong, Head of Group Risk Control and Security at Bybit. “Our AI-assisted SOC allows us to move from detection to full kill chain visibility within a single operational window. What used to require a team of analysts working across multiple shifts – decompilation, IOC extraction, report drafting, rule writing – was completed in a single session with AI handling the heavy lifting and our analysts providing judgment and validation.  Looking to the future, we will face an AI war. Using AI to defend against AI is an inevitable trend. Bybit will further increase its investment in AI for security, achieving minute-level threat detection and automated, intelligent emergency response.”

The investigation also revealed social engineering tactics, including fake macOS password prompts used to validate and cache user credentials. In some cases, attackers attempted to replace legitimate crypto wallet applications such as Ledger Live and Trezor Suite with trojanized versions hosted on malicious infrastructure.

The malware targeted a wide range of environments, including Chromium-based browsers, Firefox variants, Safari data, Apple Notes, and local file directories commonly used to store sensitive financial or authentication data.

Bybit identified multiple domains and command-and-control endpoints associated with the campaign, all of which have been defanged for public disclosure. Analysis indicates that attackers relied on intermittent HTTP polling rather than persistent connections, making detection more challenging.

The incident reflects a growing trend of attackers targeting developers through manipulated search results, particularly as AI tools gain mainstream adoption. Developers remain high-value targets due to their access to codebases, infrastructure, and financial systems.

Bybit confirmed that malicious infrastructure was identified on March 12, with full analysis, mitigation, and detection measures completed within the same day. Public disclosure followed on March 20, alongside detailed detection guidance.

CHONGQING, China, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Group sets out Six Major Leaps and five doubling targets, with RMB 600 billion in revenue and 1.5 million overseas sales in its sights for 2030.

Changan Group held its Global Strategy Launch and Global Partner Conference in Chongqing on April 21, 2026, presenting its “1+4+4+5” strategic framework to approximately 700 delegates. The strategy reinforces and advances the Group’s Vast Ocean Plan, with a clear ambition: entry into the global automotive top ten and revenue of RMB 600 billion by 2030.

The “1+4+4+5” strategy is built around one vision: to build a world class automotive group with global competitiveness and homegrown core technologies. It is structured around four business pillars, vehicles, components, services, and next generation ecosystem industries, and four transformation priorities: intelligence, green development, globalization, and integration.

Guided by a two step, ten year roadmap, the Group aims to achieve five doublings by 2030 in new energy vehicle (NEV) sales, overseas vehicle sales, total revenue, total profit, and brand value. The 2030 targets include 2.4 million NEV sales, 1.5 million overseas vehicle sales, revenue of RMB 600 billion, placing the Group among the global automotive top 10; and brand value of RMB 200 billion, achieving inclusion among the world’s Top 500 Influential Brands.

“Today we are entering a remarkable new era shaped by profound change and unprecedented opportunity. Every transformation creates the conditions for a new generation of world class enterprises. Changan Group will stay committed to co development and shared prosperity, working with our industry partners with one purpose and one direction, side by side as we move forward.”

— Zhu Huarong, Chairman, Changan Group

Six Major Leaps

To drive the strategy, Changan has defined Six Major Leaps, each representing a measurable shift with defined milestones.

The Experience Leap marks a shift from single-domain smart driving to full-vehicle intelligence. Powered by SDA Intelligence, it builds a proactive safety matrix while delivering an end-to-end protection system for users.

The Power Leap moves from traditional energy to green and high-efficiency solutions, advancing a diversified technology portfolio across hybrid, battery electric and hydrogen powertrains, striving to achieve peak carbon emissions by 2027, and building a full-lifecycle carbon management system.

The Scale Leap expands growth from a single source to multiple drivers, with parallel plans to double sales in both new energy vehicles and overseas markets while developing globally competitive flagship models

The Ecosystem Leap upgrades Changan from a “large industry, small ecosystem” model to a “large industry, large ecosystem” model, building a coordinated ecosystem spanning users, industry and services.

The System Leap shifts from traditional control-and-operations management to modern global management, with a focus on building world-class capabilities in innovation, talent and management.

The Value Leap marks Changan’s full transition toward an intelligent, low-carbon mobility technology company, to deliver all-round gains in economic, industrial, brand and societal value.

Globalization: Three Major Plans

Guided by the “1+4+4+5” strategy, Changan Group is advancing three major plans: the Green Plan for new energy, the Intelligent Plan for smart mobility, and the Vast Ocean Plan for globalization. Together, these initiatives are accelerating the Group’s transformation into a leader in intelligent, low carbon mobility technologies.

The Green Plan is progressing steadily, strengthening Changan Group’s core NEV technologies and embedding sustainability across product design, manufacturing, and recycling. This approach supports lower carbon emissions across the full vehicle lifecycle. The Intelligent Plan is accelerating execution, delivering ultra safe intelligent mobility solutions for users.
 

The Vast Ocean Plan is gathering pace as Changan continues to advancing its global market development strategy. Guided by principles of long term development, localization, systemization, and integrated ESG, the Group is moving beyond product exports toward comprehensive brand globalization and industrial globalization.

Foundations

The strategy is built on a strong base. In 2025, Changan Group posted 2.913 million vehicle sales, up 8.5 percent year on year, with NEV sales exceeding 1.1 million units. The Group has ranked first in China’s National Enterprise Technology Center evaluation for 14 consecutive years. Its 24,000-strong global R&D team has filed 20,935 patents, 71 percent of them invention patents, and participated in the formulation of 408 standards.

Changan currently sells in 118 countries through 1,124 outlets, with 22 overseas manufacturing bases and combined capacity of 350,000 units. Overseas sales crossed 100,000 units in a single month for the first time in March 2026.

SEOUL, South Korea, SHANGHAI and NEW YORK, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MemeMax, a perpetual decentralized exchange (Perp DEX), has officially launched, positioning itself as a trading infrastructure purpose-built for the meme coin market.

As the memecoin sector has grown into a multi-billion-dollar asset class, the lack of derivatives infrastructure tailored to its unique dynamics has become increasingly evident. MemeMax enters the market aiming to address this gap by offering a perpetual trading environment designed specifically for meme-driven assets.

Major meme assets such as DOGE, PEPE, and WIF have historically exhibited extreme volatility driven by narrative cycles and community participation. However, existing trading platforms have struggled to fully accommodate these characteristics.

Why Traditional Perp DEX Models Fall Short for Meme Markets

Most existing perpetual DEXs were originally designed around assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), where liquidity depth, relatively stable volatility, and structured price discovery dominate market behavior.

Memecoins operate under a fundamentally different dynamic. Price movements are often driven less by fundamentals and more by narrative momentum, community coordination, and viral attention cycles. These assets tend to experience rapid expansions and collapses, often outpacing the assumptions embedded in traditional oracle and liquidation systems.

Despite this, most platforms continue to apply the same infrastructure across all asset classes—creating a structural mismatch when applied to meme markets. MemeMax takes a different approach:

rather than adapting meme assets to fit existing systems, it introduces a trading infrastructure designed specifically for meme-driven market behavior.

Trading the Full Meme Cycle

MemeMax is designed to enable users to trade across the entire lifecycle of a meme.

• Shorting narrative breakdowns
• Entering early during revival phases
• Navigating extreme volatility environments

To support this, the platform’s oracle and liquidation mechanisms are structured with high-volatility, lower-liquidity assets in mind, rather than being retrofitted from BTC-centric models

Redefining Trading as Participation

Another key distinction lies in how MemeMax reframes trading itself.

Rather than viewing trading as isolated execution, MemeMax positions it as continuous participation. On-chain user actions are interconnected within a broader system, where behavior contributes directly to the dynamics of the platform.

This reflects a broader shift in meme markets, where price formation is increasingly influenced not only by liquidity, but also by attention and user participation.

Max Points (MP): A Participation-Based Metric

At the core of the platform is Max Points (MP), a native utility system designed to quantify user engagement beyond simple trading volume.

MP is calculated based on multiple dimensions, including:

• Profit and loss (P&L) experience
• Consistency of platform activity

Note: Incorporating “time spent in positions” into the calculation is planned as an additional feature in a future update.

By incorporating these factors, MemeMax moves away from purely volume-driven incentive models and introduces a system that captures holistic user participation.

MP is expected to serve as a foundational metric across the ecosystem, with applications in reward distribution, seasonal events, and access to platform features. Early participation is designed to provide compounding advantages as the ecosystem evolves.

Max Points (MP): An Activity Reward System

As part of the platform’s reward system, Max Points (MP) exist to reward users for their activities. To encourage consistent user participation rather than just focusing on trading volume, MP operates on a flexible seasonal basis. Adapting to market trends, each season introduces new objectives and various forms of rewards, such as airdrops, recognizing the broader value of ecosystem participation beyond simple PnL.

Staking (Coming Soon)

The staking feature is currently in preparation and will be officially launched in the future as the platform continues to expand.

REKT Pack (In Preparation)

Additionally, it has been confirmed that a “REKT Pack” is currently in preparation. This feature aims to add a layer of entertainment by playfully sublimating user liquidations into meme culture, turning the unfortunate event of getting “rekt” into an engaging and fun experience for the community.

Seasonal Structure for Continuous Expansion

The platform operates on a continuously live trading environment, complemented by recurring seasonal events.

Each season introduces new participation mechanics and reward structures without resetting existing user data. This allows MemeMax to maintain continuity while continuously evolving alongside market dynamics.

Toward a Dedicated Financial Layer for Meme Markets

As memecoins continue to evolve into a distinct segment of the crypto market—driven by community behavior and narrative cycles—the need for specialized infrastructure has become more apparent.

MemeMax positions itself within this trend by treating memes not simply as speculative assets, but as behavior-driven market primitives, embedding these dynamics directly into its trading architecture.

According to the team, “MemeMax is not just another exchange listing meme assets—it is designed as the financial infrastructure that the meme ecosystem has been missing.”

Now Live and Closed Beta Successfully Concluded

A closed beta test was held on April 14 and successfully concluded with great interest from participants.

MemeMax is now live, with users able to access perpetual trading immediately. Participants can begin accumulating Max Points (MP) through on-chain activity and take part in upcoming seasonal events and reward programs. Early users may benefit from first-mover advantages in MP accumulation, positioning themselves favorably within the platform’s evolving incentive structure.

Expanded support for up to 512GB storage, Sony STARVIS 2 night vision sensors, real 4K resolution, and dual recording capabilities all come together in the new Redtiger F7NA dash cam to offer exceptional value for money at just US$159.99.

DALLAS, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Urban dash cam and vehicle accessories brand Redtiger has unveiled the F7NA 4K dual dash cam, the newest addition to the bestselling F7N dash cam lineup. The F7NA features a slew of functional upgrades for the everyday modern driver, including support for expanded storage.

Redtiger boasts some of the top dash cams on the market, with their F7NP model currently claiming the #1 bestseller spot among all dash cams on Amazon. Other models from the F7N series—including the F7NP, F7N Touch and F7N Pro—are also hugely popular; all equipped with a 4K front camera, 1080p rear camera, and Sony STARVIS 2 low light-vision sensor. The new F7NA not only includes these sought-after features but is also compatible with up to 512GB micro SD storage capacity—while keeping a significantly more approachable price point compared to similar options on the market.

The F7NA’s front-facing camera uses the STARVIS 2 IMX678 sensor to record in 4K Ultra HD (3840×2160 resolution): capturing license plates, road signs and fine details at speed and in challenging lighting conditions. Low light performance is notably superior to most conventional dash cams, with the F7NA rear camera’s WDR (wide dynamic range) support enabling the device to balance bright headlights among dark surroundings and reduce highlight blowouts. The F7NA performs reliably in low-light conditions, making it well-suited for monitoring and security during night drives, adverse weather, and unattended overnight parking such as in underground garages or remote locations.

The storage upgrade benefits dual-channel recording at high definition, with significantly longer retention windows before loop overwrite as compared to other cameras that typically top out at 128-256GB. The F7NA also features G-sensor emergency locking and parking monitoring modes that are time-lapse and impact-triggered, critical features common to Redtiger dash cams that ensure key video footage of accidents or other incidents are never lost.

Upholding Redtiger dash cams’ reputation of ultimate convenience and ease of use, the F7NA’s 5.8GHz WiFi 6 and 20 MB/s peak transfer speeds make downloading and sharing footage—for insurance claims or social media—faster than ever.

Operating the dash cam is handled via touchscreen, while voice commands cover essential functions—recording start/stop, photo capture, and emergency file lock. Video clip management and location tracking is also made easy with the Redtiger smartphone app for iOS and Android.

The F7NA also features highly reliable power architecture. It is charged via a supercapacitor, which is a safer and more heat-tolerant power source than the lithium‑ion batteries installed in conventional dash cams. Unlike lithium batteries, which can degrade or fail in high heat, supercapacitors offer a wider operating temperature range and longer cycle life—a meaningful advantage in hot climates and sun-exposed parking. Combined with the F7NA’s efficiently designed power circuit, this stable power supply reduces the risk of unexpected shutdowns or corrupted recordings when external power is interrupted.

The Redtiger F7NA dash cam is shipped as an all-in-one kit with cable clips and an installation tool that make it easy for drivers to route wires without professional help. The package also includes: the 4K touchscreen front unit, a 1080p rear camera, windshield mount, power supply cable with car charger, rear camera cable, adhesive pads, electrostatic sticker, and user manual.

The Redtiger F7NA is available for US$159.99 on Amazon and the Redtiger official website from April 17, 2026.

Upon launch, the first 200 orders on Amazon will receive a complimentary polarizing filter with their device. And for a limited time only, score an extra 10% off on top of existing discounts with the code RTF7NA4K when purchasing via the Redtiger official website.
