Bitopro Confirms $11M Hack, Taiwan Crypto Exchange Says It Has Replenished Lost Funds

Taiwan-based crypto exchange BitoPro has confirmed to CoinDesk that it suffered a cyberattack on an old hot wallet in May, resulting in losses of over $11 million. The company said it immediately replenished the stolen funds and moved assets to new wallets to prevent further losses. The breach, which occurred on May 8 during a wallet system upgrade, was first flagged by blockchain sleuth ZachXBT. He revealed that the stolen funds were laundered through decentralized exchanges and privacy protocols before being deposited into Wasabi Wallet, a popular Bitcoin mixer. 'BitoPro recently experienced a cyberattack on an old hot wallet during a wallet system upgrade,' the exchange shared with CoinDesk. 'Upon detection, we quickly launched an emergency response, securing assets by moving them to new wallets and blocking the attacker.' The company emphasized that user assets were unaffected, with all deposits, withdrawals, and trading functions continuing as normal. 'BitoPro's virtual asset reserves are ample, and user assets remain completely unaffected,' a spokesperson added. The exchange said it is working with a third-party cybersecurity firm to investigate the hack and will soon publish new hot wallet addresses to improve transparency. It added that the majority of its assets are held in offline cold wallets to protect against similar incidents in the future. BitoPro, which is operated by BitoGroup, has served Taiwan's crypto market since 2018. It supports major cryptocurrencies paired with the Taiwanese dollar and processed over $20 million in trading volume in the past 24 hours, according to while retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error while retrieving data Error while retrieving data Error while retrieving data Error while retrieving data

Has L.A. reached peak cream top? New coffee shop rules could change your go-to order

Luscious, fluffy and often garnished with cocoa powder or a few carefully placed coffee beans, the cream top has become L.A.'s favorite coffee add-on. Sometimes called sweet cream or just whipped cream, the topping has become a staple in third wave L.A. coffee culture and beyond, with local shops taking cues from global companies like Starbucks that have capitalized on customizable drinks for decades. But in the last month, two of L.A.'s best coffee shops have called it quits on sweet cream add-ons. In April, Korean coffee roaster Maru Coffee, likely the first to bring cream top coffee to L.A.'s artisanal coffee scene, put up small countertop signs announcing that it would no longer offer the garnish starting in May. Chinese coffee shop Mandarin Coffee Stand made a similar announcement on Instagram last week and took optional cream top add-ons off the menu on Sunday. 'Over time, we realized that cream tops — though fun and indulgent — often overpower the very ingredients we and our partners all worked so hard to source, roast, and brew with care,' the Instagram post from Mandarin Coffee Stand read. 'When we serve you a drink, we want it to be something we're genuinely proud of … Not something masked in sugar and cream.' Pasadena native Karla Menendez, a frequent Mandarin Coffee Stand customer, came to the shop on Monday for a cream top drink and was disappointed to learn that the add-on was no longer available. 'When I was in line, I was hoping to get [the cream top], but then I checked the Instagram and I was like, 'Oh it's gone,'' Menendez said. 'I like it with the cream top more, but I understand why they're doing it.' This isn't the first time cream top drinks have graced local cafe menus. Taiwanese chain 85°C Bakery Cafe, a well-known international franchise, has been serving sea salt whipped cream on tea and coffee since 2008, when its first U.S. location opened in Irvine. Little Fluffy Head Cafe, which closed in 2023, was among the first to sell drinks with cheese foam in L.A. when it opened downtown in 2017. The globally popular Heytea, a Chinese chain known for its teas topped with cheese foam — a mix of cream cheese and either milk or cream — opened its first West Coast location in Beverly Hills last year. 'In general, people here in America prefer sweeter drinks,' said Sherry Gao, owner of Mandarin Coffee Stand. 'I think the cream top is just a perfect option for them to have something creamy and sweet at the same time.' One of Mandarin's signature drinks is the Vienna Latte, or an espresso topped with sweet cream. The shop began offering cream tops as a $1 add-on for any drink last year. 'We started offering it as an act of hospitality because we wanted to satisfy [customers],' Gao said. 'It just went a little bit out of control.' Known more commonly as the Einspänner, a new take on the Viennese drink gained widespread popularity around 2016 in South Korea, where cafes began replacing espresso with coffee that already contained milk or cream. Around the same time, Maru co-founder Jacob Park began serving a cream top drink at his newly opened coffee shop in Los Feliz. Maru's signature Creamtop, a long black topped with sweet cream, helped launch a citywide obsession — so much so that the coffee shop even made sweatshirts emblazoned with the term. While Maru will continue to offer its Creamtop coffee, the recent discontinuation of the $3 add-on came as a surprise, with many customers heading to TikTok to weigh in on the change. One user posted a sentimental goodbye to their standard matcha latte cream top order at Maru. Others were harsher in TikTok comment sections, questioning the shop's motives and vowing to never return. Gao, who said that Maru's decision to discontinue cream top add-ons inspired her team to follow suit, finds that the preparation, which entails whipping and sweetening cream, is a relatively easy task — one she doesn't mind giving up in order to redirect the spotlight back on the people and processes involved in each stage of coffee production. 'We make efforts to go to the farms directly, building a relationship with the farmers in Mexico, Guatemala and just recently Japan,' said Maru co-founder Joonmo Kim. 'In some sense, you're not doing justice to the hard work and the process that goes into it when you overpower [it].' The cream tops on both Mandarin and Maru's Einspänner-inspired coffees were designed for specific drinks — not to be added on to other types of coffee, or matcha or chai. 'There are some shops that do cream top really well, and I feel like they put a lot of intention into their cream tops,' Gao said. 'But since we don't really have the time to invest into creating more cream tops that accompany the drink well, we only have that one cream top that we use for the Vienna Latte.' Time will tell whether Angelenos adapt simpler (and less sweet) coffee habits — but for now, these coffee shops remain firm in their decision to keep cream top add-ons off their menus. 'I don't know if it's gonna be a movement,' Gao said. 'But I'm just hoping more coffee shops can stay true to what they're doing.'

Foreign propagandists continue using ChatGPT in influence campaigns

Chinese propaganda and social engineering operations have been using ChatGPT to create posts, comments and drive engagement at home and abroad. OpenAI said it has recently disrupted four Chinese covert influence operations that were using its tool to generate social media posts and replies on platforms including TikTok, Facebook, Reddit and X. The comments generated revolved around several topics from US politics to a Taiwanese video game where players fight the Chinese Communist Party. ChatGPT was used to create social media posts that both supported and decried different hot button issues to stir up misleading political discourse. Ben Nimmo, principal investigator at OpenAI told NPR , "what we're seeing from China is a growing range of covert operations using a growing range of tactics." While OpenAI claimed it also disrupted a handful of operations it believes originated in Russia, Iran and North Korea, Nimmo elaborated on the Chinese operations saying they "targeted many different countries and topics [...] some of them combined elements of influence operations, social engineering, surveillance." This is far from the first time this has occurred. In 2023, researchers from cybersecurity firm Mandiant found that AI-generated content has been used in politically motivated online influence campaigns in numerous instances since 2019. In 2024, OpenAI published a blog post outlining its efforts to disrupt five state-affiliated operations across China, Iran and North Korea that were using OpenAI models for malicious intent. These applications included debugging code, generating scripts and creating content for use in phishing campaigns. That same year, OpenAI said it disrupted an Iranian operation that was using ChatGPT to create longform political articles about US elections that were then posted on fake news sites posing as both conservative and progressive outlets. The operation was also creating comments to post on X and Instagram through fake accounts, again espousing opposing points of view. "We didn't generally see these operations getting more engagement because of their use of AI," Nimmo told NPR . "For these operations, better tools don't necessarily mean better outcomes." This offers little comfort. As generative AI gets cheaper and smarter , it stands to reason that its ability to generate content en masse will make influence campaigns like these easier and more affordable to build, even if their efficacy remains unchanged.
