5. Meitu Warns Investor After a Collapse of Ether and Bitcoin Value
The world of cryptocurrency has seen better days to the say least. Thanks to recession worries, the values of different cryptos have fallen and now investors are now in a tight spot.
For the first story on our list, we specifically focus on the investors of Meitu, the owner of the Chinese selfie app, as they have been warned by the company that "because it entered into cryptocurrencies, which had a catastrophe over the previous two months on worries about recession, its losses might increase by as much as 154% in the first half of this year."

The hacked electric vehicle (EV) reached the record-breaking 216 mph. How did it do this? Because it had been hacked, the speed limits of the vehicle were removed.
