The US Justice Department just dropped new criminal charges against a Ukrainian individual allegedly involved in cyber intrusions targeting critical infrastructure—reportedly backing Russian objectives. This case highlights growing concerns around state-sponsored attacks that could ripple through digital asset ecosystems. As blockchain networks and crypto platforms increasingly become part of national infrastructure, these geopolitical cybersecurity tensions aren't just headline noise anymore. They're real threats that could impact exchange operations, DeFi protocols, and the broader Web3 space. Worth keeping an eye on how this unfolds.

This is the set again, drop the charges? It feels like the water is very deep
The national cyber war is really going to be fought on the chain
Will DeFi survive until next year, a little worried
This is the real black swan, more terrifying than a crash
The security of exchanges is now a geopolitical bargaining chip
If you want to be cut again, you will still be cut by the country

Dude, this is really not a joke, the national level cyber war is going to be fought on the chain
Wait, drop the charges? This plot reverses a bit quickly, there must be a story behind it
Blockchain as an infrastructure is a good thing, but it's also dangerous to be targeted like this... Who can stop the national hacker between the exchange and DeFi?
This is the real black swan, which is more deadly than any technical risk, we have to watch it

Drop charges? There are more doorways behind this matter
Blockchain is really going to become a national battlefield, a little panicked
Do you dare to touch DeFi, it doesn't feel safe
The lethality of geopolitics to web3 is seriously underestimated
Wait to see the follow-up, this is the beginning
