Stolen cryptocurrency increased by 21% to $2.2 billion in 2024 and the number of hacking incidents increased 9% to 303. In 2024, North Korean hackers stole more from crypto platforms and with greater frequency.

Oddly enough, the crypto industry may be benefiting from the Ukraine war. DPRK exploitation activity cratered after July 1, likely explained by North Korean participation in the war changing their cybercrime strategy.

Thanks. 🤙

I'll take a look.

X-ray results.

I finally got to speak to a doctor about my x-ray results.

The good news is there was nothing too worrying to be found in my lower vertebrae. No fractures, which is always a concern with my various weakened vertebrae and ilium.

However there is evidence of osteoarthritis and disc degeneration in my lower back, particularly at the lumbosacral joint, which is a new issue, on top of the damage to L1 itself, L2, and L5.

So now I am being referred to a physiotherapist, and a pain specialist. In the meantime I have the ok to do gentle exercise, stay on top of pain relief, and of course to generallykeep things moving.

I was also reminded that I am no longer in my thirties, so to bear that in mind with my recovery goals. Which sounds a bit depressing, on top of the further degenerate rather than healing, ngl.

Reclaiming 20k felt different to this, more significant.

Hard to describe.

Anyone else getting those feels?
