  • MIL-OSI: 180 Degree Capital Corp. Notes Business and Merger-Related Updates Including:

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • PRELIMINARY NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE AS OF JUNE 30, 2025, OF $4.80
    • THE FILING OF AN UPDATED PRELIMINARY JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS FOR PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION WITH MOUNT LOGAN CAPITAL INC.
    • PLAN TO SCHEDULE SHAREHOLDER CALL DURING WEEK OF JULY 14, 2025.

    MONTCLAIR, N.J., July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 180 Degree Capital Corp. (NASDAQ:TURN) (“180 Degree Capital”) today announced its preliminary net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of June 30, 2025, of $4.80, which is an increase of approximately 8.6% from the prior quarter, and 3.4% year-to-date.

    180 Degree Capital also noted the filing of an amended preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, regarding its proposed merger with Mount Logan Capital Inc. (“Mount Logan”) in an all-stock transaction (the “Business Combination”). As noted in its original press release issued on January 17, 2025, the surviving entity is expected to be a Delaware corporation operating as Mount Logan Capital Inc. (“New Mount Logan”) listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “MLCI”. In connection with the Business Combination, 180 Degree Capital shareholders will receive proportionate ownership of New Mount Logan determined by reference to 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value at closing relative to a valuation of Mount Logan of approximately $67.4 million at signing, subject to certain pre-closing adjustments.

    In addition, Kevin Rendino and Daniel Wolfe plan to host a shareholder call during the week of July 14, 2025, to discuss the preliminary results from Q2 2025, and will be joined by Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer of Mount Logan, to discuss the proposed Business Combination. The date and time of this call will be announced in a subsequent release as we gain greater clarity regarding the timing of our registration statement relating to the Business Combination being declared effective by the SEC.

    “We are proud of our performance during Q2 2025, that led to a material increase in NAV during the quarter and positive year-to-date performance,” commented Kevin M. Rendino, Chief Executive Officer of 180 Degree Capital. “As we mentioned in our press release on June 27, 2025, our focus is on minimizing expenses and maximizing NAV heading into our proposed Business Combination. Our year-to-date net total return (increase in net asset value per share) of $0.16, or +3.4% compares favorably to the +1.1% total return of the Russell Microcap Index. We note that this increase in NAV and outperformance includes a material portion of the ultimate total expenses of the Business Combination that will occur. I also note that our NAV continues to be negatively impacted by legal expenses incurred as a result of efforts by certain shareholders to interfere our proposed Business Combination. Our gross total return of our public investments through the first six months of 2025 of approximately +16.0% compares very favorably to the -1.1% total return of the Russell Microcap Index. Q3 2025 has started similarly well, with continued strong performance of our investment portfolio leading to a NAV as of July 8, 2025, that is approaching $5.00 per share.”

    “As constructive activists, we spend a significant amount of time with our investee management teams and boards, as well as understanding the fundamentals of their businesses,” added Daniel B. Wolfe, President of 180 Degree Capital. “Through this work, we believed, and continue to believe, that there are material value creation opportunities for our holdings at least through the anticipated close of the Business Combination, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. While future returns may be different than those to date, we believe our performance year-to-date sets our shareholders up well to maximize NAV heading into the merger, and then the potential to build significant future value off that foundation as an operating company combined with Mount Logan.”

    Mr. Rendino concluded, “We believe we are close to completing the SEC review process, which will allow 180 Degree Capital to commence its efforts to seek shareholder approval for the Business Combination. We believe this proposed Business Combination is a unique opportunity for future value creation for all of 180 Degree Capital’s shareholders. In the meantime, we appreciate the questions, comments and continued strong support from our existing and new shareholders who share in our excitement for this next chapter.”

    About 180 Degree Capital Corp.

    180 Degree Capital Corp. is a publicly traded registered closed-end fund focused on investing in and providing value-added assistance through constructive activism to what we believe are substantially undervalued small, publicly traded companies that have potential for significant turnarounds. Our goal is that the result of our constructive activism leads to a reversal in direction for the share price of these investee companies, i.e., a 180-degree turn.

The aggregate consideration payable for the sale of the Multiple Voting Shares by Ms. Anita Goodman to Jodamada is C$1,670,237.82 or C$2.58 per Multiple Voting Share.

The Shareholders have entered into a unanimous shareholders agreement under which certain decisions are to be made unanimously by the directors of Jodamada, including with respect to the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (the Subordinate Voting Shares) and the Multiple Voting Shares of Dundee held directly and indirectly by Jodamada (other than certain shares of Dundee held by Jodamada on behalf of two of the Shareholders, David and Mark, through tracking shares of Jodamada held by them). The tracking shares represent the proportionate agreed entitlement of the holders of the tracking shares to a certain number of Dundee shares held by Jodamada, and through those tracking shares each holder of such shares can request his proportionate number of Dundee shares be sold and the proceeds transferred to him. The other Shareholders must grant their approval for such a request, provided that the sale is to be done in accordance with the unanimous shareholders agreement and applicable securities rules. The unanimous shareholders agreement may only be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by written agreement of all of the shareholders of the corporation.

    The trustees of the Trust are Jonathan Goodman, David Goodman, Mark Goodman and Daniel Goodman (the Trustees). All decisions on behalf of the Trust must be made by at least three of the four Trustees except in the event of a sale to a Trustee at which time the decision must be unanimous.

    Following the Reorganization, the Trust no longer holds any Multiple Voting Shares and holds an aggregate of 2,595,462 Subordinate Voting Shares, which represent 3.01% of the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares and a 0.65% voting interest in the total votes by the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares taken together.

    CAIRO, July 10 — Chinese Premier Li Qiang said here on Thursday that China is willing to strengthen Belt and Road cooperation with Egypt in such areas as economy, trade, finance, manufacturing, new energy, science and technology, and cultural and people-to-people exchanges.

    During his meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Li also said that China is willing to encourage more capable Chinese enterprises to invest in Egypt.

    Li conveyed to Sisi cordial greetings from Chinese President Xi Jinping, saying that China-Egypt relations have flourished in recent years under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state.

    The Chinese side, Li said, is ready to work with Egypt to take the 70th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries next year as an opportunity to carry forward the traditional friendship, consolidate political mutual trust, and continue to firmly support each other on issues concerning each other’s core interests.

    China is also willing to join Egypt to continue to enrich the China-Egypt comprehensive strategic partnership, push for more achievements in cooperation in various fields between the two nations, and keep moving forward to the goal of building a China-Egypt community with a shared future in the new era.

    The international landscape is marked by mounting turbulence and escalating disorder, with prolonged and unresolved conflicts particularly afflicting the West Asian and North African regions, Li said.

    China stands ready to maintain close communication with Egypt and promote an early ceasefire in Gaza, Li said.

    The Chinese side is also ready to join Egypt in alleviating the humanitarian crisis, preventing the spillover and escalation of the conflict, and making unremitting efforts for a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement of the Palestinian issue, said the Chinese premier.

    He said China is willing to work with Egypt to enhance communication and coordination within multilateral platforms including the United Nations, BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and practice true multilateralism.

    Li added that China will work with Egypt to promote an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, and push for the steady and long-term development of China-Arab and China-Africa cooperation.

  • MIL-OSI USA: World-First Gene Editing Trial for Rare Genetic Disease at UConn Health

    Source: US State of Connecticut

    In a global first, UConn Health, in collaboration with Connecticut Children’s, has dosed a patient in a groundbreaking clinical trial testing gene editing technology to treat glycogen storage disease type 1a (GSD1a), a rare inherited metabolic disorder, marking the third “first-in-human” trial for GSD1a conducted by this research team.

    This clinical trial is evaluating a therapy that uses permanent gene editing, one of the most novel technologies in modern medicine. Instead of delivering a missing gene, this approach edits a single letter of DNA directly inside the patient’s liver cells, thereby correcting the genetic error at its source.

    “This therapy marks a groundbreaking achievement for the treatment of GSD and similar rare diseases,” said Juan C. Salazar, MD, Chair of the Department of Pediatrics at the UConn School of Medicine and Physician-in-Chief at Connecticut Children’s. “This milestone represents a beacon of hope for patients and their families worldwide, showcasing out commitment to advancing healthcare and saving lives.”

    GSD is a metabolic disorder caused by an enzyme deficiency where the liver fails to break down glycogen into glucose, causing the body’s blood sugar levels to drop. The disorder is devastating, causing potential damage to kidneys and liver along with other serious side effects, including death.

    The trial is being led by Rebecca Riba-Wolman, MD, a pediatric endocrinologist in the Department of Pediatrics and a physician-scientist at both the Connecticut Children’s Research Institute and UConn Health. She serves as the principal investigator for the study, with Karen Loechner, MD, Ph.D., and Malaya Mount, MS, RD serving as sub-investigators.

    “This is truly a next-generation therapy,” says Riba-Wolman. “What makes this especially exciting is that this technology allows us to make a permanent edit in the liver cells of patients with GSD1a. If it works, it could last a lifetime.” Though in its earliest phase, the potential of this technology extends far beyond a single disorder. “Liver cells are one of the most accessible organs for genetic treatments, so while this is a treatment for GSD1a, it is also a stepping-stone,” Riba-Wolman explains. “What we are learning here could be applied to other diseases in the future.”

    The therapy is based on nucleotide editing and is part of the cutting-edge field born out of the precision technique of CRISPR-Cas genetic editing technology, which earned the Nobel Prize in 2020. The trial corrects a single nucleotide (one of the DNA “letters” A, G, C, or T) that is the basis for the most common mutation causing GSD1a. This targeted approach could allow for lifelong correction of the underlying disease. To date, there exists only one FDA-approved gene editing treatment in the world – for sickle cell disease.

    The trial has generated excitement among researchers and patients alike. Many families with GSD1a have followed the progress of the gene editing mouse studies that laid the foundation for this moment. For them, this trial represents the real possibility of a long-awaited breakthrough. “This is not just a clinical study. It is a hopeful step forward for a community that has been waiting years for new treatment options,” says Riba-Wolman.

    While the first trial participant was from out of state, UConn Health and Connecticut Children’s have built a robust local and regional GSD1a community, supported by a dedicated clinical team that includes physicians, nurses, study coordinators, research dietician and others, many of whom played a critical role in preparing for this first infusion.

    “This kind of clinical research requires an enormous amount of collaboration,” says Riba-Wolman. “I cannot say enough about the commitment of UConn Health to our research. From nursing leadership to pharmacy to respiratory therapy, everyone came together to make this possible.”

    Though results may not be fully appreciated for several years, this historic milestone underscores the growing reputation of UConn Health and Connecticut Children’s as leaders in rare disease research and gene-based therapies.

    “We have now been involved in three first-in-human trials for GSD1a, and this one is the most ambitious yet,” says Riba-Wolman. “It is incredible to think how far the science has come, and to be part of that here at UConn Health and Connecticut Children’s is something really special.”

    In partnership with Beam Therapeutics, this trial builds on decades-long leadership in GSD1a research, and it is expected to help shape the future of treatment not just for this rare condition, but for all genetic diseases.

    We’d like to acknowledge the significant contributions of the dedicated research team, including Shaylee King, administrative director of the Department of Pediatrics; study coordinators Vi Nguyen and Shila Bhandari from the Department of Pediatrics, and Julieta Bonvin Sallago from CT Children’s; as well as research nurses Stephanie Ruggiero, Travis Healy, Love Joy Tacadena Melendez, Osob Yusuf, Darby Lamontagne, and Amber Barry, all from the Department of Pediatrics.

    If you or a loved one have GSDIa and are interested in learning more about this trial as well as other Clinical Trials for GSDIa, please contact pediatricclinicaltrials@uchc.edu for more information.

  • MIL-Evening Report: Grattan on Friday: childcare is a ‘canary in mine’ warning for wider problems in policy delivery

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Michelle Grattan, Professorial Fellow, University of Canberra

    It’s such a familiar pattern. When a big scandal breaks publicly, governments jump into action, ministers rush out to say they’ll “do something” instantly.

    But how come they hadn’t seen problems that had been in plain sight?

    Who can forget then-workplace relations minister Tony Burke insisting he’d been unaware, before media revelations, that organised crime was in the CFMEU? After a Nine media expose, a large portion of the notorious union soon ended up in administration.

    When a childcare worker was charged with some 70 offences last week, Education Minister Jason Clare immediately declared he’d introduce legislation in the new parliament’s first sitting for the removal of federal funds from errant providers.

    After ABC reporter Adele Ferguson had exposed serious safety issues in the system on Four Corners in March, the Albanese government announced it would be “exploring” various measures to strengthen Commonwealth powers “to deal with providers that put profit over quality and child safety at risk”.

    In another expose, Ferguson this week revealed substantial problems in the training system for childcare workers.

    Federally, childcare comes under the education minister, and there’s also a dedicated minister for early childhood education (Anne Aly last term, now Jess Walsh). Basically, the federal government funds the system while the states and territories regulate it.

    Anthony Albanese made major promises for expanding childcare in his 2022 and 2025 election pitches. The government also supported higher wages for workers in the sector. Albanese has nominated “affordable childcare” as the legacy he wants to leave.

    It’s all the more surprising, then, that the government didn’t seem to spot a plethora of problems in an area so central to the prime minister’s ambitions.

    The government points to the division of responsibility between Commonwealth and states.

    But surely that explanation doesn’t wash or, if it does, the relevant federal and state ministers, public servants and the regulators have not been doing their designated jobs effectively.

    In various human service policy areas, there are split responsibilities, which differ in specific arrangements.
    Politically, this often brings blame-shifting, and arguments over money and accountability.

    The federal government attaches conditions, for example, to funding agreements for hospitals and schools, which fall under state responsibility. But in practice, there are slippages.

    Split responsibilities, whatever their precise form, can never be “set and forget” – rigorous, constant scrutiny needs to be built in.

    Childcare policy has its complications. But, in terms of complexities, it is nothing like, say, running the nation’s defences. There are not unknowns.

    The obvious issues within childcare include funding, safety, workforce numbers and training.

    The childcare revelations will inevitably lead to new regulations – ironically just as a debate about the desirability of easing excessive regulation in some sectors has become fashionable. In many policy areas, there are tensions between regulation and costs, and no unanimity about where the trade offs should be struck.

    The childcare imbroglio highlights the challenges when public policy is substantially delivered by the “for profit” private sector. Social services expert Gabrielle Meagher, professor emerita at Macquarie University, says, “It’s very difficult to regulate across the gaps governments open up when they fund policies that they don’t deliver themselves”.

    The childcare issue also invites much wider questions about how “governing” is working. Such as, are ministers too distracted?

    Today’s ministers spend more time than ever in the media, and travelling (part of the modern “permanent” election campaign). This takes a large amount of their attention. The prime minister is in the media most days.

    One has to wonder how much of this is a diversion for ministers from detailed policy work, especially as they must bone up on “talking points” because, given the 24-hour news cycle, they will be quizzed about issues outside their portfolios. They usually feel obliged to offer an opinion, rather than saying “sorry, that’s not my bag”.

    What about the public servants, who are formally responsible for policy advice, implementation and supervising?

    We saw with Robodebt shocking behaviour by some bureaucrats. There have been substantial reforms since then and, apart from that, the Albanese government has boosted the numbers and strengthened the capability of the public service.

    But is it fit-for-purpose? If it were, wouldn’t the problems in childcare, apparently well-known among many parents, have filtered up through the system to the ears of ministers – even allowing that regulation rests mainly with the states?

    Apart from failures by state regulators, one issue is who is telling what to whom about the sector. The federal minister responsible for early childhood education visits dozens of childcare centres. But on those visits, the minister will be talking to managers, who will have their own set of concerns. The minister is less likely at the centres to encounter parents who have had a bad experience.

    This goes to a wider problem: in areas of human service delivery, providers of services will usually be organised, while consumers lack the same coherent and forceful voice. Complaining through the media may be only way for families using a service to bring things to light.

    But what about the complaints that do flow into government departments, and ministers’ offices? Surely these give a channel for the red flags that point to a policy failure?

    Bureaucrats say all this communication amounts to a great deal of “noise”, but the challenge is to identify what it signifies, in terms of substantive problems to be addressed.

    When programs are growing very fast, the risk is that corners are cut in delivery. We saw this, disastrously, years ago during the global financial crisis when the Rudd government rolled out the home insulation scheme. A royal commission was damning about the failures of the program, which was marked by several deaths and many household fires. Safety had been compromised in the pursuit of speed and the delivery framework was inadequate.

    There are many lessons from the childcare policy failures. A big announcement does not automatically mean a successful policy delivery. Programs can be working on some fronts while flawed on others. All new or expanded policies should come with detailed evaluation arrangements which are then carefully monitored. And while ministers will boast publicly about how well a policy is doing, they should be constantly demanding to know from their bureaucrats where things might be going wrong.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Western Cape concerned at 23 deaths on province’s roads in one week

    Source: Government of South Africa

    The Western Cape Government has expressed deep concern at the number of pedestrian fatalities and drunk driving arrests recorded during the past week. 

    Between 30 June and 6 July 2025, 23 people lost their lives in 23 crashes on Western Cape roads. 

    These include 15 pedestrians, four drivers, three passengers, and one motorcyclist. 

    The province believes the figures serve as a sobering reminder that reckless behaviour on the roads continues to have devastating consequences, particularly for the most vulnerable road users.

    “The loss of lives on our roads is avoidable and requires collective action. Too many innocent lives are impacted and altered by the poor judgment and decisions of road users,” said Western Cape Mobility MEC Isaac Sileku.

    Sileku said it was most alarming that 57 people were arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol during a week marked by heavy rain across the province. 

    “Driving while under the influence, no matter how small the amount, will not be tolerated. Drivers are urged to always prioritise safety,” added Sileku.

    The provincial government said the winter season brought added challenges for all road users. 

    “Shorter days, poor visibility, wet roads, and adverse weather conditions increase the risk of incidents, especially for pedestrians.” 

    Meanwhile, the Western Cape Provincial Government said driving under the influence remained one of the leading causes of road crashes and fatalities. 

    To improve safety and visibility on the roads, the Western Cape’s Provincial Traffic Services conducted 213 integrated roadblocks, vehicle checkpoints, and speed control operations across the province during the past week. 

    Over 27 000 vehicles were stopped and checked, resulting in just over 4 000 fines issued for various traffic violations. 

    A total of 78 arrests were made for various offences, including 57 for driving under the influence of alcohol, 11 for possession of fraudulent documentation, four for reckless and negligent driving, three for vehicles with overloaded goods, two for failure to furnish information, and one for speed-related arrest. 

    The Western Cape Government continues to urge all road users to act responsibly, especially during adverse weather conditions.

    “Pedestrians remain our most vulnerable road users, and the numbers recorded this weekend are a stark reminder. We all have a role to play in protecting lives on our roads, let’s drive, walk, and act with care,” the MEC added.

    Tips for motorists and pedestrians: 

    •    If you plan to drink, arrange for a sober driver, taxi, or e-hailing service.

    •    Never let a friend drive under the influence.

    •    Be part of the solution, report reckless drivers when it is safe to do so.

    •    Pedestrians are urged to take personal responsibility when heading out and wear bright or reflective clothing, especially in poor light conditions.

    •    Cross only at designated crossings or intersections where drivers expect to see pedestrians.

    •    Avoid distractions such as cellphones and headphones when walking near or across roads.

    •    Do not walk under the influence of alcohol. 

    •    Stay alert, always assume drivers cannot see you. – SAnews.gov.za

  • MIL-OSI: Abraxas Power Corp. Receives First Ever Renewable Energy Permit from the Maldives Special Economic Zone Board of Investment

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TORONTO, July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ABRAXAS POWER CORP. (“Abraxas” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, APM SPV Pvt Ltd., has signed an Investment Agreement with the Government of Maldives for the development of its flagship Project Solar City in the Republic of Maldives (aka “Luminosity”), a pioneering 100 MW mixed-use renewable energy project.

    Following the successful execution of the Investment Agreement with the Government of Maldives, the President of the Maldives has issued a Presidential Decree, dated 1 July 2025, officially designating the Project Area as a Special Economic Zone under the Special Economic Zone Act (“SEZ Act”). This marks the first-ever Presidential Decree issued under the SEZ Act and represents a historic achievement for both Abraxas and the Maldives in advancing renewable energy and sustainable investment. The Project showcases the Abraxas team’s leadership and expertise in supporting a complex energy transition and advances Abraxas’ mandate to develop projects that further the UN Development Programme’s sustainable development goals, specifically Sustainable Development Goal 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.

    “Our initiative in the Maldives represents a transformative step toward a cleaner, more resilient energy future,” said Mr. J. Colter Eadie, Chief Executive Officer of Abraxas. “By leveraging sustainable innovation and strategic investment, we aim to cut emissions, lower energy costs, and meet up to 50% of Greater Malé’s electricity demand with 100% clean power. This project not only strengthens national energy security by reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels, but also supports the country’s foreign reserves by addressing one of its largest sources of capital outflow. With stable, long-term pricing insulated from global volatility, we are proud to support the Maldives in setting a new standard for environmental leadership and energy independence.”

    The Project aligns with the Maldives government’s goal of ensuring adequate, reliable, sustainable, secure, and affordable energy to foster prosperity, and represents a crucial milestone in achieving the country’s net zero targets by 2030. The Project alone has the potential to fulfill the commitment made by the Maldives’ President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu during the COP28 summit to generate at least 33% of the Maldives’ energy needs through renewable sources by 2028.

    Eadie continued, “This project is about more than clean energy — it’s about transferring knowledge, technology, and global best practices to empower local enterprises and accelerate infrastructure development across the Maldives. It demonstrates how strategic investment can generate far-reaching benefits, driving inclusive growth and long-term prosperity. We are proud to partner with the Government of the Maldives to bring this vision to life.”

  • MIL-OSI: AleAnna, Inc. Announces Strong Early Production and Revenue Results at Longanesi Field

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • AleAnna and its partner Societa Padana Energia have recorded more than 6 weeks of continuous production history at the Longanesi Field, with steadily growing daily rates.
    • Results have been above expectations, with a stabilized natural gas production rate of approximately 28 MM cubic feet per day, which was achieved well ahead of the anticipated 3-month timeline for this milestone.
    • Strong natural gas prices in Italy, averaging about $13.50 / Mcf over the last 6 weeks, are providing AleAnna > $100,000 / day in revenues.
    • The European Union’s (EU) stated goal of eliminating Russian natural gas imports by year-end 2027 should create a longer-term demand for domestic natural gas in Italy.

    DALLAS and ROME, July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AleAnna, Inc. (“AleAnna” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ANNA) is pleased to announce strong early performance from the Longanesi Field. All five wells in the Phase 1 development are contributing to current daily production averaging 28 million cubic feet per day, which was AleAnna’s budgeted maximum rate for 2025. While striving to prevent damage to the reservoirs from early over-production, the impressive growth rate in daily production over the first 6 full weeks of production nonetheless signals potential for the Phase 1 development to outperform initial expectations.

    Combined with average Italian natural gas prices over this 6-week period of about $13.50 per thousand cubic feet, current production is generating in excess of $100,000 in revenue per day net to AleAnna’s account. In addition, the Company expects further expansions of reserves and additional increases in daily production, highlighting Longanesi’s importance as a driver of mid-to-longer term growth for AleAnna.

    Advantaged Natural Gas Environment in the EU
    About 20% of the EU’s natural gas supply continues to come from Russia. As part of a broader plan to improve energy security and independence, the EU has stated an overarching goal to completely eliminate Russian natural gas supply by year-end 2027. The need to replace this supply, combined with gas storage levels at 34% of capacity, has created an increased demand for new sources of domestic natural gas and a near-to-mid-term increase in the price of natural gas in the EU.

    AleAnna is committed to strengthening Italy’s long-term energy security while supporting the global transition to cleaner and more sustainable sources of energy. By advancing current and future investments at Longanesi, AleAnna aims to address the gap in natural gas supply left by the loss of Russian natural gas imports.

    Management Commentary
    Marco Brun, Chief Executive Officer of AleAnna, emphasized the importance of the positive early results from Longanesi, stating: “Strong early results from Longanesi are a signal of AleAnna’s growth potential and profitability. With an advantaged environment for natural gas producers in the EU, and the opportunity to further grow our Longanesi production, we are excited about the future of the Company.”

    About AleAnna
    AleAnna is a technology-driven energy company focused on bringing sustainability and new supplies of low-carbon natural gas and RNG to Italy, aligning traditional energy operations with renewable solutions, with developments like the Longanesi field leading the way in supporting a responsible energy transition. With three conventional gas discoveries in Italy already made and fourteen new natural gas exploration projects planned this decade, AleAnna plays a pivotal role in Italy’s energy transition. Italy’s extensive infrastructure, featuring 33,000 kilometers of gas pipelines, three major gas storage facilities, and a strong base of existing RNG facilities, aligns with AleAnna’s commitment to sustainability. AleAnna’s RNG projects’ portfolio includes three plants under development and almost 100 projects representing approximately €1.1 billion potential investment in the next few years. AleAnna operates regional headquarters in Dallas, Texas, and Rome, Italy.

  • MIL-OSI: First Federal Savings Bank and ICBA: 10 Tips for Safe Travel This Summer

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    EVANSVILLE, Ind., July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As Americans make their travel plans this summer, First Federal Savings Bank and the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) are sharing planning tips for consumers to minimize unwanted surprises during travel to maximize their enjoyment as they venture away from home.

    “Planning for the unexpected is the key to lessen the financial impact and increase your peace of mind when traveling domestic or abroad. Important factors are trip delays, lost or damaged merchandise, and last-minute expenses,” said Courtney Schmitt, VP, Marketing Manager at First Federal Savings Bank. “Call on First Federal Savings Bank and our expert staff who can offer support if you encounter an unforeseen expense during your travels.”

    ICBA and First Federal Savings Bank urge consumers to consider these 10 tips before departing for their next trip:

    1. Inform your community bank of your travel plans to avoid account holds or transaction rejections when unusual transactions are presented for processing. Set up a travel notice within the My Cards section of our banking app.*
    2. Ensure you have a chip-enabled card or contactless card, particularly if your travel plans take you overseas where chip technology may be a prerequisite for card acceptance.
    3. Carry multiple cards as a backup. Families or couples may get even greater backup coverage if each person takes a different card.
    4. Create transaction alerts for credit and debit cards. If you suspect your information has been compromised, contact your bank and credit card provider immediately. For information about what to do in the event of a lost or stolen card, visit the Visa and Mastercard websites.
    5. Inquire about special card features like travel accident insurance and traveler’s assistance.
    6. Choose an ATM or bank for currency purchases for fewer fees and an exact conversion rate.
    7. Check card readers for signs of tampering. When in doubt, choose another terminal.
    8. Lock away valuables such as passports, backup credit cards, financial information, and cash.
    9. Use social media with care. Posting your pictures or whereabouts during travel could leave you susceptible to home invaders.
    10. Monitor charge activity. Review purchases and ATM withdrawals with your bank and credit card companies when you return home and save your receipts. Be sure to set up alerts within the My Cards section of our banking app* to receive alerts in real time.

  • MIL-OSI Economics: Code highlighting with Cursor AI for $500,000

    Source: Securelist – Kaspersky

    Headline: Code highlighting with Cursor AI for $500,000

    Attacks that leverage malicious open-source packages are becoming a major and growing threat. This type of attacks currently seems commonplace, with reports of infected packages in repositories like PyPI or npm appearing almost daily. It would seem that increased scrutiny from researchers on these repositories should have long ago minimized the profits for cybercriminals trying to make a fortune from malicious packages. However, our investigation into a recent cyberincident once again confirmed that open-source packages remain an attractive way for attackers to make easy money.

    Infected out of nowhere

    In June 2025, a blockchain developer from Russia reached out to us after falling victim to a cyberattack. He’d had around $500,000 in crypto assets stolen from him. Surprisingly, the victim’s operating system had been installed only a few days prior. Nothing but essential and popular apps had been downloaded to the machine. The developer was well aware of the cybersecurity risks associated with crypto transactions, so he was vigilant and carefully reviewed his every step while working online. Additionally, he used free online services for malware detection to protect his system, but no commercial antivirus software.

    The circumstances of the infection piqued our interest, and we decided to investigate the origins of the incident. After obtaining a disk image of the infected system, we began our analysis.

    Syntax highlighting with a catch

    As we examined the files on the disk, a file named extension.js caught our attention. We found it at %userprofile%.cursorextensionssolidityai.solidity-1.0.9-universalsrcextension.js. Below is a snippet of its content:

    A request sent by the extension to the server

    This screenshot clearly shows the code requesting and executing a PowerShell script from the web server angelic[.]su: a sure sign of malware.

    It turned out that extension.js was a component of the Solidity Language extension for the Cursor AI IDE, which is based on Visual Studio Code and designed for AI-assisted development. The extension is available in the Open VSX registry, used by Cursor AI, and was published about two months ago. At the time this research, the extension had been downloaded 54,000 times. The figure was likely inflated. According to the description, the extension offers numerous features to optimize work with Solidity smart contract code, specifically syntax highlighting:

    The extension’s description in the Open VSX registry

    We analyzed the code of every version of this extension and confirmed that it was a fake: neither syntax highlighting nor any of the other claimed features were implemented in any version. The extension has nothing to do with smart contracts. All it does is download and execute malicious code from the aforementioned web server. Furthermore, we discovered that the description of the malicious plugin was copied by the attackers from the page of a legitimate extension, which had 61,000 downloads.

    How the extension got on the computer

    So, we found that the malicious extension had 54,000 downloads, while the legitimate one had 61,000. But how did the attackers manage to lull the developer’s vigilance? Why would he download a malicious extension with fewer downloads than the original?

    We found out that while trying to install a Solidity code syntax highlighter, the developer searched the extension registry for solidity. This query returned the following:

    Search results for “solidity”: the malicious (red) and legitimate (green) extensions

    In the search results, the malicious extension appeared fourth, while the legitimate one was only in eighth place. Thus, while reviewing the search results, the developer clicked the first extension in the list with a significant number of downloads – which unfortunately proved to be the malicious one.

    The ranking algorithm trap

    How did the malicious extension appear higher in search results than the legitimate one, especially considering it had fewer downloads? It turns out the Open VSX registry ranks search results by relevance, which considers multiple factors, such as the extension rating, how recently it was published or updated, the total number of downloads, and whether the extension is verified. Consequently, the ranking is determined by a combination of factors: for example, an extension with a low number of downloads can still appear near the top of search results if that metric is offset by its recency. This is exactly what happened with the malicious plugin: the fake extension’s last update date was June 15, 2025, while the legitimate one was last updated on May 30, 2025. Thus, due to the overall mix of factors, the malicious extension’s relevance surpassed that of the original, which allowed the attackers to promote the fake extension in the search results.

    The developer, who fell into the ranking algorithm trap, didn’t get the functionality he wanted: the extension didn’t do any syntax highlighting in Solidity. The victim mistook this for a bug, which he decided to investigate later, and continued his work. Meanwhile, the extension quietly installed malware on his computer.

    From PowerShell scripts to remote control

    As mentioned above, when the malicious plugin was activated, it downloaded a PowerShell script from https://angelic[.]su/files/1.txt.

    The PowerShell script contents

    The script checks if the ScreenConnect remote management software is installed on the computer. If not, it downloads a second malicious PowerShell script from: https://angelic[.]su/files/2.txt. This new script then downloads the ScreenConnect installer to the infected computer from https://lmfao[.]su/Bin/ScreenConnect.ClientSetup.msi?e=Access&y=Guest and runs it. From that point on, the attackers can control the infected computer via the newly installed software, which is configured to communicate with the C2 server relay.lmfao[.]su.

    Data theft

    Further analysis revealed that the attackers used ScreenConnect to upload three VBScripts to the compromised machine:

    • a.vbs
    • b.vbs
    • m.vbs

    Each of these downloaded a PowerShell script from the text-sharing service paste.ee. The download URL was obfuscated, as shown in the image below:

    The obfuscated URL for downloading the PowerShell script

    The downloaded PowerShell script then retrieved an image from archive[.]org. A loader known as VMDetector was then extracted from this image. VMDetector attacks were previously observed in phishing campaigns that targeted entities in Latin America. The loader downloaded and ran the final payload from paste.ee.

    Our analysis of the VBScripts determined that the following payloads were downloaded to the infected computer:

    • Quasar open-source backdoor (via a.vbs and b.vbs),
    • Stealer that collected data from browsers, email clients, and crypto wallets (via m.vbs). Kaspersky products detect this malware as HEUR:Trojan-PSW.MSIL.PureLogs.gen.

    Both implants communicated with the C2 server 144.172.112[.]84, which resolved to relay.lmfao[.]su at the time of our analysis. With these tools, the attackers successfully obtained passphrases for the developer’s wallets and then syphoned off cryptocurrency.

    New malicious package

    The malicious plugin didn’t last long in the extension store and was taken down on July 2, 2025. By that time, it had already been detected not only by us as we investigated the incident but also by other researchers. However, the attackers continued their campaign: just one day after the removal, they published another malicious package named “solidity”, this time exactly replicating the name of the original legitimate extension. The functionality of the fake remained unchanged: the plugin downloaded a malicious PowerShell script onto the victim’s device. However, the attackers sought to inflate the number of downloads dramatically. The new extension was supposedly downloaded around two million times. The following results appeared up until recently when users searched for solidity within the Cursor AI development environment (the plugin is currently removed thanks to our efforts).

    Updated search results for “solidity”

    The updated search results showed the legitimate and malicious extensions appearing side-by-side in the search rankings, occupying the seventh and eighth positions respectively. The developer names look identical at first glance, but the legitimate package was uploaded by juanblanco, while the malicious one was uploaded by juanbIanco. The font used by Cursor AI makes the lowercase letter l and uppercase I appear identical.

    Therefore, the search results displayed two seemingly identical extensions: the legitimate one with 61,000 downloads and the malicious one with two million downloads. Which one would the user choose to install? Making the right choice becomes a real challenge.

    Similar cyberattacks

    It’s worth noting that the Solidity extensions we uncovered are not the only malicious packages published by the attackers behind this operation. We used our open-source package monitoring tool to find a malicious npm package called “solsafe”. It uses the URL https://staketree[.]net/1.txt to download ScreenConnect. In this campaign, it’s also configured to use relay.lmfao[.]su for communication with the attackers.

    We also discovered that April and May 2025 saw three malicious Visual Studio Code extensions published: solaibot, among-eth, and blankebesxstnion. The infection method used in these threats is strikingly similar to the one we described above. In fact, we found almost identical functionality in their malicious scripts.

    Scripts downloaded by the VS Code extension (left) vs. Solidity Language (right)

    In addition, all of the listed extensions perform the same malicious actions during execution, namely:

    • Download PowerShell scripts named 1.txt and 2.txt.
    • Use a VBScript with an obfuscated URL to download a payload from paste.ee.
    • Download an image with a payload from archive.org.

    This leads us to conclude that these infection schemes are currently being widely used to attack blockchain developers. We believe the attackers won’t stop with the Solidity extensions or the solsafe package that we found.

    Takeaways

    Malicious packages continue to pose a significant threat to the crypto industry. Many projects today rely on open-source tools downloaded from package repositories. Unfortunately, packages from these repositories are often a source of malware infections. Therefore, we recommend extreme caution when downloading any tools. Always verify that the package you’re downloading isn’t a fake. If a package doesn’t work as advertised after you install it, be suspicious and check the downloaded source code.

    In many cases, malware installed via fake open-source packages is well-known, and modern cybersecurity solutions can effectively block it. Even experienced developers must not neglect security solutions, as these can help prevent an attack in case a malicious package is installed.

    • Stealer that collected data from browsers, email clients, and crypto wallets (via m.vbs). Kaspersky products detect this malware as HEUR:Trojan-PSW.MSIL.PureLogs.gen.

    Both implants communicated with the C2 server 144.172.112[.]84, which resolved to relay.lmfao[.]su at the time of our analysis. With these tools, the attackers successfully obtained passphrases for the developer’s wallets and then syphoned off cryptocurrency.

    New malicious package

    The malicious plugin didn’t last long in the extension store and was taken down on July 2, 2025. By that time, it had already been detected not only by us as we investigated the incident but also by other researchers. However, the attackers continued their campaign: just one day after the removal, they published another malicious package named “solidity”, this time exactly replicating the name of the original legitimate extension. The functionality of the fake remained unchanged: the plugin downloaded a malicious PowerShell script onto the victim’s device. However, the attackers sought to inflate the number of downloads dramatically. The new extension was supposedly downloaded around two million times. The following results appeared up until recently when users searched for solidity within the Cursor AI development environment (the plugin is currently removed thanks to our efforts).

    Updated search results for “solidity”

    The updated search results showed the legitimate and malicious extensions appearing side-by-side in the search rankings, occupying the seventh and eighth positions respectively. The developer names look identical at first glance, but the legitimate package was uploaded by juanblanco, while the malicious one was uploaded by juanbIanco. The font used by Cursor AI makes the lowercase letter l and uppercase I appear identical.

    Therefore, the search results displayed two seemingly identical extensions: the legitimate one with 61,000 downloads and the malicious one with two million downloads. Which one would the user choose to install? Making the right choice becomes a real challenge.

    Similar cyberattacks

    It’s worth noting that the Solidity extensions we uncovered are not the only malicious packages published by the attackers behind this operation. We used our open-source package monitoring tool to find a malicious npm package called “solsafe”. It uses the URL https://staketree[.]net/1.txt to download ScreenConnect. In this campaign, it’s also configured to use relay.lmfao[.]su for communication with the attackers.

    We also discovered that April and May 2025 saw three malicious Visual Studio Code extensions published: solaibot, among-eth, and blankebesxstnion. The infection method used in these threats is strikingly similar to the one we described above. In fact, we found almost identical functionality in their malicious scripts.

    Scripts downloaded by the VS Code extension (left) vs. Solidity Language (right)

    In addition, all of the listed extensions perform the same malicious actions during execution, namely:

    • Download PowerShell scripts named 1.txt and 2.txt.
    • Use a VBScript with an obfuscated URL to download a payload from paste.ee.
    • Download an image with a payload from archive.org.

    This leads us to conclude that these infection schemes are currently being widely used to attack blockchain developers. We believe the attackers won’t stop with the Solidity extensions or the solsafe package that we found.

    Takeaways

    Malicious packages continue to pose a significant threat to the crypto industry. Many projects today rely on open-source tools downloaded from package repositories. Unfortunately, packages from these repositories are often a source of malware infections. Therefore, we recommend extreme caution when downloading any tools. Always verify that the package you’re downloading isn’t a fake. If a package doesn’t work as advertised after you install it, be suspicious and check the downloaded source code.

    In many cases, malware installed via fake open-source packages is well-known, and modern cybersecurity solutions can effectively block it. Even experienced developers must not neglect security solutions, as these can help prevent an attack in case a malicious package is installed.

  • MIL-OSI Economics: Code highlighting with Cursor AI for $500,000

    Source: Securelist – Kaspersky

    Headline: Code highlighting with Cursor AI for $500,000

    Attacks that leverage malicious open-source packages are becoming a major and growing threat. This type of attacks currently seems commonplace, with reports of infected packages in repositories like PyPI or npm appearing almost daily. It would seem that increased scrutiny from researchers on these repositories should have long ago minimized the profits for cybercriminals trying to make a fortune from malicious packages. However, our investigation into a recent cyberincident once again confirmed that open-source packages remain an attractive way for attackers to make easy money.

    Infected out of nowhere

    In June 2025, a blockchain developer from Russia reached out to us after falling victim to a cyberattack. He’d had around $500,000 in crypto assets stolen from him. Surprisingly, the victim’s operating system had been installed only a few days prior. Nothing but essential and popular apps had been downloaded to the machine. The developer was well aware of the cybersecurity risks associated with crypto transactions, so he was vigilant and carefully reviewed his every step while working online. Additionally, he used free online services for malware detection to protect his system, but no commercial antivirus software.

    The circumstances of the infection piqued our interest, and we decided to investigate the origins of the incident. After obtaining a disk image of the infected system, we began our analysis.

    Syntax highlighting with a catch

    As we examined the files on the disk, a file named extension.js caught our attention. We found it at %userprofile%.cursorextensionssolidityai.solidity-1.0.9-universalsrcextension.js. Below is a snippet of its content:

    A request sent by the extension to the server

    This screenshot clearly shows the code requesting and executing a PowerShell script from the web server angelic[.]su: a sure sign of malware.

    It turned out that extension.js was a component of the Solidity Language extension for the Cursor AI IDE, which is based on Visual Studio Code and designed for AI-assisted development. The extension is available in the Open VSX registry, used by Cursor AI, and was published about two months ago. At the time this research, the extension had been downloaded 54,000 times. The figure was likely inflated. According to the description, the extension offers numerous features to optimize work with Solidity smart contract code, specifically syntax highlighting:

    The extension’s description in the Open VSX registry

    We analyzed the code of every version of this extension and confirmed that it was a fake: neither syntax highlighting nor any of the other claimed features were implemented in any version. The extension has nothing to do with smart contracts. All it does is download and execute malicious code from the aforementioned web server. Furthermore, we discovered that the description of the malicious plugin was copied by the attackers from the page of a legitimate extension, which had 61,000 downloads.

    How the extension got on the computer

    So, we found that the malicious extension had 54,000 downloads, while the legitimate one had 61,000. But how did the attackers manage to lull the developer’s vigilance? Why would he download a malicious extension with fewer downloads than the original?

    We found out that while trying to install a Solidity code syntax highlighter, the developer searched the extension registry for solidity. This query returned the following:

    Search results for “solidity”: the malicious (red) and legitimate (green) extensions

    In the search results, the malicious extension appeared fourth, while the legitimate one was only in eighth place. Thus, while reviewing the search results, the developer clicked the first extension in the list with a significant number of downloads – which unfortunately proved to be the malicious one.

    The ranking algorithm trap

    How did the malicious extension appear higher in search results than the legitimate one, especially considering it had fewer downloads? It turns out the Open VSX registry ranks search results by relevance, which considers multiple factors, such as the extension rating, how recently it was published or updated, the total number of downloads, and whether the extension is verified. Consequently, the ranking is determined by a combination of factors: for example, an extension with a low number of downloads can still appear near the top of search results if that metric is offset by its recency. This is exactly what happened with the malicious plugin: the fake extension’s last update date was June 15, 2025, while the legitimate one was last updated on May 30, 2025. Thus, due to the overall mix of factors, the malicious extension’s relevance surpassed that of the original, which allowed the attackers to promote the fake extension in the search results.

    The developer, who fell into the ranking algorithm trap, didn’t get the functionality he wanted: the extension didn’t do any syntax highlighting in Solidity. The victim mistook this for a bug, which he decided to investigate later, and continued his work. Meanwhile, the extension quietly installed malware on his computer.

    From PowerShell scripts to remote control

    As mentioned above, when the malicious plugin was activated, it downloaded a PowerShell script from https://angelic[.]su/files/1.txt.

    The PowerShell script contents

    The script checks if the ScreenConnect remote management software is installed on the computer. If not, it downloads a second malicious PowerShell script from: https://angelic[.]su/files/2.txt. This new script then downloads the ScreenConnect installer to the infected computer from https://lmfao[.]su/Bin/ScreenConnect.ClientSetup.msi?e=Access&y=Guest and runs it. From that point on, the attackers can control the infected computer via the newly installed software, which is configured to communicate with the C2 server relay.lmfao[.]su.

    Data theft

    Further analysis revealed that the attackers used ScreenConnect to upload three VBScripts to the compromised machine:

    • a.vbs
    • b.vbs
    • m.vbs

    Each of these downloaded a PowerShell script from the text-sharing service paste.ee. The download URL was obfuscated, as shown in the image below:

    The obfuscated URL for downloading the PowerShell script

    The downloaded PowerShell script then retrieved an image from archive[.]org. A loader known as VMDetector was then extracted from this image. VMDetector attacks were previously observed in phishing campaigns that targeted entities in Latin America. The loader downloaded and ran the final payload from paste.ee.

    Our analysis of the VBScripts determined that the following payloads were downloaded to the infected computer:

    • Quasar open-source backdoor (via a.vbs and b.vbs),
    • Stealer that collected data from browsers, email clients, and crypto wallets (via m.vbs). Kaspersky products detect this malware as HEUR:Trojan-PSW.MSIL.PureLogs.gen.

    Both implants communicated with the C2 server 144.172.112[.]84, which resolved to relay.lmfao[.]su at the time of our analysis. With these tools, the attackers successfully obtained passphrases for the developer’s wallets and then syphoned off cryptocurrency.

    New malicious package

    The malicious plugin didn’t last long in the extension store and was taken down on July 2, 2025. By that time, it had already been detected not only by us as we investigated the incident but also by other researchers. However, the attackers continued their campaign: just one day after the removal, they published another malicious package named “solidity”, this time exactly replicating the name of the original legitimate extension.

    Press release

    UK Export Finance announces backing of major Taiwan offshore wind project

    UK Export Finance provides support for British exporters supplying a new multi-million pound renewable energy development.

    Greater Changhua 2 is a 632 MW offshore wind farm comprised of both Greater Changhua 2a, which is operational, and Greater Changhua 2b, which is under construction

    • Export Credit Agency provides guarantee to develop one of Asia’s largest offshore wind sites

    • Backing of wind farm will unlock opportunities for British exporters, strengthening Britain’s position as a clean energy superpower

    UK Export Finance (UKEF) is guaranteeing financing for a major offshore wind farm project in Taiwan, creating export opportunities for British businesses.

    In support of the government’s Plan for Change and its mission to kickstart economic growth, UKEF – the UK government’s export credit agency – is providing a €146 million Buyer Credit Guarantee to assist the development of 632MW of renewable energy capacity off coast in the Taiwan Strait.

    The deal enables British exporters Cadeler, CRP Subsea, Ordtek, and Cathie to secure contracts to provide specialised services and critical components.

    It also supports jobs across the UK’s renewable energy supply chain, reinforcing Britain’s position as a global leader in the low-carbon transition – a key ambition set out in the government’s modern Industrial Strategy.

    Ørsted, the lead sponsor for this project, is a great example of a business transforming from one reliant on fossil fuels to one based on renewable energy.

    The new wind farm will result in reductions of carbon emissions estimated at 1,118,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year.

    The project is being financed in collaboration with export credit agencies from Denmark, Norway, South Korea, and Taiwan.

    Minister for Exports, Gareth Thomas, said:

    This shows how Government is boosting exports in our key growth sectors and supporting jobs across the country as part of our Plan for Change.

    This investment will enable British innovation in renewable technology to scale up Taiwan’s clean energy transition and follows our modern Industrial Strategy, which provides up to £13 billion of direct lending for UKEF to help businesses to export.

    Trond Westlie, Group CFO of Ørsted, said:

    We’ve received very strong support from both international and local banks and export credit agencies for the project financing of Greater Changhua 2. This shows that there is a healthy appetite for premium assets with robust contractual structures, and it’s a clear sign that we’re working diligently to deliver on our divestment and partnerships programme.

    Danielle Baron, Global Head of Energy & Real Assets, Credit Agricole CIB, said:

    As the ECA Coordinator and Documentation Bank for the multi-billion financing of the Greater Changhua 2 project, Crédit Agricole CIB reaffirms its strong commitment to the renewable energy sector. This landmark transaction highlights our dedication to supporting our clients and partners in delivering society’s clean energy needs. It underscores the strength of our collaboration with UKEF and the other European Export Credit Agencies, whose contribution have been key to the development of the offshore wind sector in the APAC region.

    This announcement helps to deliver UKEF’s goal to provide at least £10 billion of financing for sustainable and renewable projects by 2030, enabling the UK to build export opportunities in clean growth sectors while supporting global decarbonisation efforts.
