Samsung stock surged over 6% today after an article from South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reported that that the cellphone giant is about to start mass production of next-generation HBM4 memory chips.

These chips are allegedly built specifically for AI data centers, and Samsung is preparing to ship them to Nvidia as soon as next week.

Samsung shares jumped as much as 6.4%

The HBM4 memory chips are headed into Nvidia’s Vera Rubin AI accelerators, a new lineup of processors designed to power AI systems. Traders jumped in because this makes Samsung the first company on the planet to start producing sixth-gen high-bandwidth memory.

Yonhap also said Samsung has already passed Nvidia’s quality checks and locked in real purchase orders. The production timeline was set up to match Nvidia’s launch schedule, which makes this a live deal, not a future maybe.

On top of that, Samsung has been sending out larger volumes of test chips for integration into customer systems. That’s real demand.

A source allegedly told Yonhap that Samsung, with the biggest factory capacity and product variety, is now back on top after pulling ahead in this key tech race.

The HBM3E chips still dominate the market today, but that’s changing fast. HBM4 is expected to take over, and Samsung is already supplying the world’s biggest AI chip buyer.

Now here’s the bigger picture. Samsung shares were already up 30% this year before today’s rally. The reason? Memory chip prices are climbing because companies like Amazon and Alphabet are throwing billions at building AI supercomputers. Some memory prices have almost doubled since late 2025.

All of that spending is helping suppliers like Samsung. The four biggest hyperscalers plan to dump $650 billion into AI infrastructure this year.

That’s part of why Nvidia’s stock also jumped nearly 8% on Friday. When Nvidia rallies, people start looking at who’s supplying them. Today, that spotlight landed right on Samsung.

Hacker behind the UXLINK attack loses $48 million to a phishing scam

Hacker behind the UXLINK attack loses $48 million to a phishing scam

The post Hacker behind the UXLINK attack loses $48 million to a phishing scam appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UXLINK exploiter has been phished merely hours after the AI-powered Web 3 social platform’s multi-sig wallet had been breached. Lookonchain had reported on Monday that UXLINK’s multi-signature wallet was compromised, with funds drained across centralized and decentralized exchanges.  According to the blockchain analytics platform, the attacker was phished and lost 542 million UXLINK tokens, valued at approximately $48 million.  Interestingly, the hacker who attacked $UXLINK was targeted by a phishing attack and lost 542M $UXLINK($48M).https://t.co/Cp9QNHPE8Xhttps://t.co/M8tbPYAdiq pic.twitter.com/PxadIIfkDi — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) September 23, 2025 UXLINK had earlier admitted that its multi-sig wallet had been breached, and said that “a significant amount of crypto” was illicitly transferred, but most of them were frozen. “Our team is working through legal and compliant measures to ensure that the UXLINK token supply fully aligns with the rules stated in the whitepaper. The white paper remains the sole community consensus and standard for UXLINK’s token economy,” the project team wrote on X. UXLINK breach involved six wallets Security monitoring firm Cyvers Alerts flagged unusual activity early Monday on an Ethereum address linked to UXLINK. The account executed a delegateCall, removed the existing administrator role, and added a new multisig owner. After making the change, the hacker moved at least $4 million in USDT, $500,000 in USDC, 3.7 wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), and 25 ETH. Onchain evidence also showed that the attacker sold UXLINK tokens on decentralized exchanges using six separate wallets. These trades netted at least 6,732 ETH, valued at roughly $28.1 million. Hours after pulling off the UXLINK exploit, the attacker themselves fell victim to a phishing scheme. Arbiscan onchain records show the loss occurred on Tuesday at around 02:15 UTC under the transaction hash 0xa70674ccc9caa17d6efaf3f6fcbd5dec40011744c18a1057f391a822f11986ee.
