That’s why we list the most important news from yesterday for you every morning. In this edition, the Dutch, North Korea and Brazil pass by.
Crypto of the Argentinian football team in the red, will the Orange win?
Today everyone will be glued to the tube at 20:00. Then the Orange will take on Argentina in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar. Now it so happens that Argentina has its own crypto; the Argentine Football Association Fan Token (ARG). Can the prize give an indication of whether we are going to win or not?
The token has been in the minus since the start of the World Cup. So we are not getting much wiser from it. Let’s look at the crypto betting markets, such as Polymarket, then we see that the gamblers on that platform do not have great hopes for the Orange. According to that platform, Brazil has the greatest chance, of 36%, of winning the World Cup. Argentina is also one of the favorites with a 13% chance. And we? We only have a 7% chance. So not too good!
North Koreans are after your bitcoins
It was also reported that the North Korean hacker group Lazarus has yet another new way to infect the devices of unsuspecting victims with a virus. According to Microsoft, the virus spreads malware on Telegram through an Excel file.
The spy software would allow the hackers to spy on the victim. For example, they can private keys stealing and thus making off with a victim’s bitcoin (BTC). So pay attention and don’t download files you don’t trust!
