This week, online reports surged of a major data leak involving data from millions of students in the US. The hacker demands a Bitcoin (BTC) payment to prevent the public from leaking sensitive information. The security breach seems to be part of a larger attack on a cloud database.
Bitcoin’s (BTC) price fell to $69,000 after Friday’s mixed US job data release, leading to over $411 million in liquidations.
This decline followed the crypto market’s reaction to new economic indicators, which showed both positive and concerning signs for the US economy.
