Das Bild zeigt eine schöne Blumenarrangement in einem transparenten Glasvase, die auf einem dunkelgrauen Tisch steht. Die Blumen bestehen aus lilafarbenen Lilien und weißen Stockblumen, die in einer Mischung von Blüten und grünen Blättern arrangiert sind. Die Lilien sind dicht und voll, während die Stockblumen hoch und schlank sind. Neben der Vase steht ein Glasgefäß mit einer Deckel, das verschiedene Schokoladenbonbons enthält, die in verschiedenen Farben wie Braun, Pink und Weiß sind. Im Hintergrund hängt ein Bild einer lilafarbenen Rose an der Wand, die die Farben der Blumen im Vordergrund ergänzt. Die gesamte Szene wirkt harmonisch und dekorativ.

"Tl;dr: Cyber criminals bribed and recruited a group of rogue overseas support agents to steal Coinbase customer data to facilitate social engineering attacks. These insiders abused their access to customer support systems to steal the account data for a small subset of customers. No passwords, private keys, or funds were exposed and Coinbase Prime accounts are untouched. We will reimburse customers who were tricked into sending funds to the attacker. We’re cooperating closely with law enforcement to pursue the harshest penalties possible and will not pay the $20 million ransom demand we received. Instead we are establishing a $20 million reward fund for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the criminals responsible for this attack."

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%.
So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.
