User funds are safe!
It does look like a hack on Binance. Appreciate the quick freeze from Tether (~$971m) and Circle (~$823m).
I don't manage Binance (.com) anymore, but as a shareholder, I expect all user funds will be fully covered.

🚨BREAKING: BINANCE HOT WALLET APPEARS TO BE DRAINED FOR ~$2.53B!
On-chain data shows a large outflow from a Binance hot wallet (Binance 14) involving roughly $2.53 billion across 60+ tokens on Ethereum, including a major ETH transfer.
The transaction that moved the funds was initiated by an address funded via Tornado Cash, with the assets sent to a fresh EOA.
The report remains unconfirmed.
Insane! Stay safe out there, self-custodians 🙏
oh my god this is worse than we thought
here's @Ledger $86M exploits explained
> cryptobilis was a reputable and authorized Ledger/Trezor/OneKey dealer for over 4 years
> they decided to sell the company to a Chinese guy (most likely patsy for DPRK) from northern China in MARCH 2026
> the "Chinese guy" modded the devices within the supply chain itself (physical), namely Nano X devices, to contain an implant module
> ledger validity/genuineness check CANNOT detect this because hw wasn't actually tampered with, just spied on
> quoting @MagicalTux:
" implant just monitors what's shown on the screen, will take note of the seed as it's shown to you, then transmits it to 3rd party"
> former owner chimes in on X (pic below) to say that "they were under a NDA" to not mention anything to anyone for 6 months
> they obviously didn't alert any of their partners that they were authorized to sell devices of... because NDA, duh!! its in the name!
> conveniently, funds start getting siphoned a few weeks before this magical NDA due date, and being laundered across all blockchains

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

After a year of intense daily bipartisan negotiations, this bill is ready. Here is the final text. President Trump voluntarily agreed to new ethics provisions holding every federally elected official, judge, and their spouses to some of the toughest ethics restrictions in U.S. history. This new text includes more than 120 of Democrats' demands. A no vote on Tuesday means opposing real ethics reforms on politicians' personal investments, handing American leadership in digital assets to our foreign competitors, and leaving Americans with zero protections in the digital asset markets. Democrats got what they wanted; now they need to take yes for an answer. Here's the latest: lummis.senate.gov/press-rele…
That’s twice in a week. Unbelievable 🙈

‼️ BREAKING: A flaw in ChatGPT let researchers reach data inside the apps people connect to it: Gmail, Google Drive, Microsoft Teams, GitHub. A hidden prompt was enough to make the chatbot hand it over, with nothing visible to the user.
The channel was a clipboard shared between ChatGPT's normally isolated containers, which carried instructions from one account into another's session. In their proof-of-concept the researchers pulled a victim's Gmail messages, chat history and uploaded files while that user watched their own request run as normal.
The hidden instruction could arrive through a malicious prompt, a shared conversation or a custom GPT. Check Point found it in June 2026 and says the channel had already closed before they reported it; OpenAI confirmed the internal server behind it was decommissioned.

Crazy to think that in 2026 we've had:
• Anthropic's head of safeguards quit, warning "the world is in peril" (Feb)
• OpenAI dissolved its own mission alignment team (Feb)
• Unrestricted AI usage for the Pentagon (causing several researchers to quit)
• Several AI models escaping sandbox testing (Since ~Q2)
• 1,100+ frontier-lab employees signing a letter begging the government to pace AI development (Jul-Aug)
And today yet another top researcher saying this.

Did Blockstream offer them the 600 BTC voluntarily? Cuz if they bargained for it, that's definitely not white hat behavior. That's just a plain old ransom with negotiation.
CONFIRMED. Block 965950, mined by Foundry.
3,400 BTC back in the Liquid federation wallet. Attacker keeps 598.5 BTC.
27 hours from the fork to the return. 11 rounds of OP_RETURN, PGP signatures, an Electrum tutorial and a mempool.space accelerator. All settled on-chain, in public, no lawyers.
Best telenovela of 2026 just had its finale. It was better than Breaking Bad! 🍿
