1. COLDCARD seed flaw exposes wallets as losses exceed 1,000 BTC
-- Bitcoin Optech said a firmware bug left affected COLDCARD wallets with insufficient entropy, enabling thefts estimated above 1,000 BTC after unexpected transactions began July 29.
-- Seeds created on affected Mk2, Mk3, Mk4, Mk5 and Q firmware may be compromised; installing fixed firmware does not secure existing seeds, so exposed users must carefully migrate funds to newly generated wallets.
2. Apple faces $460 billion value loss after weak guidance
-- Apple shares headed for their worst post-earnings decline in 13 years after supply-chain pressure drove weak guidance, putting roughly $460 billion in market value at risk.
-- A decline of that scale can pull capitalization-weighted stock markets lower, pressure technology-sector valuations and expose hardware margins to elevated input and logistics costs.
3. Ceuta crossing deaths rise to 43 as arrivals reach about 60,000
-- At least 43 people have died and roughly 60,000 have entered Spain's Ceuta enclave from Morocco, although Spain said more than half of the migrants had since left.
-- The influx, equal to more than 70% of Ceuta's population, strains public services and border security while worsening diplomatic friction between Madrid and Rabat over migration controls.
4. Saudi Arabia organizes 14-country coalition to protect shipping
-- Saudi Arabia is planning a 14-country maritime coalition to secure Red Sea trading routes as Houthi attacks widen beyond tanker strikes, according to Semafor.
-- Coordinated patrols could reduce immediate shipping risk, but broader Houthi targeting may keep insurance premiums and freight costs elevated across a route central to Europe-Asia trade.
5. Eleven countries warn companies over North Korean IT workers
-- South Korea, the United States, Japan and eight other countries issued a joint alert on North Korean IT workers, with the U.S. State Department and FBI among the issuing authorities.
-- Companies face sanctions exposure, data theft and network security breaches when remote-hiring controls fail to detect operatives using false identities to earn revenue for Pyongyang.
