2025.04.23 21:56:22

April 23. As per official channels, the MVB (Most Valuable Builder), which was jointly organized by BNB Chain, Yzi Labs, and CMC Labs, announced a significant upgrade today. It will shift from a quarterly application system to a rolling application system, enabling projects to submit applications to join the incubation program at any time through a link. This modification is intended to break through the fixed batch restriction, allowing a greater number of global developers, founders, and early-stage projects to participate in the MVB program flexibly. They can continuously receive ecosystem mentorship, resource support, and funding opportunities. Approved projects will be announced in batches every two weeks and will immediately gain access to key resource support. By empowering developers and entrepreneurs at all stages, it aims to propel Web3 towards the billion-user era. In the first nine seasons, a total of 147 projects have been incubated. Among them, 75 projects in the first eight seasons have received investment from top-tier venture capital firms. 163 projects have successfully issued tokens, and most of them are listed on mainstream exchanges. Outstanding alumni from previous MVB programs include Galxe, Mobox, SpaceID, KiloEx, AltLayer, etc., and some projects have been selected for the Binance Launchpool. The 10th season of MVB will officially commence in July 2025. This Thursday (April 24), the Demo Day for the 9th season of MVB will be held, during which 16 selected projects will present their achievements and pitch to global investors. The audience can watch the event live through online streaming.

After being linked to the AI cyberattack targeting South Korean banks, the author of ARTEX has announced the project will be closed-source, and its GitHub repository has been taken down.

Beating AI Insight News Brief: Open-source AI penetration testing tool ARTEX was discovered to have been used in attacks on multiple South Korean financial institutions. In response, developer Autumn-27 announced on October 8 that the project would be closed-sourced, with updates halted, no new versions released, and maintenance support discontinued. ARTEX’s original GitHub repository was subsequently taken down. ARTEX is a multi-agent system that integrates various large models, automatically identifies vulnerabilities, and conducts penetration testing. Earlier, cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike detected that attackers linked to the South Korean bank attacks utilized ARTEX, leaving tool configurations and Claude Code chat records on their servers. Autumn-27 stated in a release that ARTEX was originally developed for learning, research, and enterprise-authorized security testing. The tool’s misuse for illegal attacks completely violates its intended purpose. The author condemned unauthorized use and disclaimed liability for related incidents. However, ARTEX’s source code has been backed up by other developers. Even after the author removed the original repository and ceased maintenance, previously public versions remain accessible for use and modification by others.
