PANews reported on November 13th that, according to Decrypt, the Australian Federal Police warned on Wednesday that scammers are using Australia's national cybercrime reporting system, ReportCyber, to submit fake reports using stolen personal information. They then impersonate Australian Federal Police officers to call victims and steal their digital assets. The scam is highly deceptive; criminals verify information in a seemingly logical manner and act swiftly to create a sense of urgency. They illegally obtained email addresses, phone numbers, and other information, exploiting the system's rule allowing third-party reporting to gain trust. One victim received a call from someone claiming to be a police officer, informing them of involvement in a cryptocurrency data breach. They were given a seemingly official reference number, and after seeing a report matching the scammers' submissions, they nearly fell for it. Subsequently, a second caller impersonated the platform, using the same number to induce transfers; fortunately, the victim noticed in time and hung up. Police stated that scammers often forge phone numbers in similar cases, reminding the public to remain vigilant, identify scams, and protect their assets.PANews reported on November 13th that, according to Decrypt, the Australian Federal Police warned on Wednesday that scammers are using Australia's national cybercrime reporting system, ReportCyber, to submit fake reports using stolen personal information.

Analysis: Macroeconomic factors help Bitcoin continue to rise, while inflation remains the core risk
PANews reported on September 19th that a Matrixport investment research report indicated that the US economy is resilient. Narrowing credit spreads are reducing corporate refinancing costs, driving the application of artificial intelligence to improve operational efficiency, and providing support for risky assets. Historical data shows that narrowing credit spreads often accompany strong stock markets and Bitcoin, increasing the likelihood that the current Bitcoin rally will continue. However, inflation remains a core risk. Models predict that the inflation rate will fall below 2.0% in the future, which differs from market consensus. Falling energy prices and lower housing costs may reduce the likelihood of prolonged high inflation. Although the drivers of Bitcoin's next rally remain unclear, a new round of upward momentum is gradually building.
