🚨 Ukrainian drones reportedly struck the Novokuybyshevsk Oil Refinery in Russia’s Samara region, triggering a massive fire.
The Rosneft-owned facility has an annual processing capacity of 8.8 million tonnes of crude oil (approximately 175,000 barrels per day).
It produces gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel, including supplies used by Russia’s military. The refinery is a strategically important part of Russia’s fuel infrastructure.
A British navy maritime agency said a ship was burning in the Strait of Hormuz Thursday, with the status of the crew unknown. Iran claimed soon after that three oil tankers were on fire after striking sea mines in the strait. cbsn.ws/4eoeJB5

Accenture Contractor Allegedly Gave Claude AI Agent Access to Secure Pentagon Network
Details: cybersecuritynews.com/accent…
An Accenture employee allegedly gave a personal Claude Code AI agent administrative access to a secure U.S. Department of Defense environment, allowing it to write and deploy code.
The agent reportedly operated for about two months and appears to have sent credentials and network details to an outside website.
Accenture disputes the allegations, saying an independent investigation found them without merit. The system serves multiple intelligence agencies and holds Controlled Unclassified Information, or CUI. This information is not classified, but still requires protection against unauthorized release.
The employee reportedly connected a personal account for Anthropic’s Claude Code to a production environment on the nonclassified Internet Protocol Router Network, known as NIPRNet.

North Korean hacking group TraderTraitor stole approximately $6.36 billion from Binance in what is believed to be the largest cryptocurrency theft on record, blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs says.
The funds were transferred across 10 blockchains beginning at 20:05 UTC on October 29, with most of the movement occurring within 20 minutes.
TRM Labs linked the attack to North Korea based on on-chain and off-chain intelligence, citing similarities to the February 2025 Bybit hack, which was attributed to the same group by the FBI.
Tether, Circle, Ripple, World Liberty Financial and Arbitrum’s Security Council have frozen approximately $2.7 billion, while an estimated $2.4 billion remains beyond their reach.

AI is already at a point where rogue agents are accessing Americans’ bank accounts. Standing by is not an option.
I have legislation introduced and ready to pass to get some serious guardrails around this unregulated tech.

Drained $5.6B from Binance using bleeding-edge EIP-7702 batch signatures.
Caught because MetaMask default-selected "pay gas with USDT" and logged their IP on ConsenSys servers.
You couldn't write a better script:
- Wallet had 1.75B USDT and 2 native ETH ready for gas.
- In a panic, the operator blindly clicked confirm without noticing MetaMask's smart gas station.
- MetaMask relayer paid the ETH, charged 127 USDT, and logged the raw client request on their backend API.
Advanced chain exploitation defeated by Web2 frontend UX.
One more thing to avoid.
The Binance $5.6B drain is a masterclass in modern EVM exploitation.
It wasn't a complex logic bug. It was an EIP-7702 delegation hijack:
1. Setup: Attacker funds 0x7c86 via Tornado Cash, deploys a sweep contract (0x63e8), and runs three live dry-runs on external wallets.
2. Execution: Attacker submits an EIP-7702 batch with 50 pre-signed authorizations (nonce n to n+49) to hit Binance 14's moving nonce window.
3. One authorization hits. Instantly, Binance 14 (an EOA) is reprogrammed to run the attacker's contract bytecode.
4. Execution looks totally organic: Binance 14 sweeps itself clean. Internal threshold alerts don't trigger because, from the nodes' perspective, the hot wallet is just executing its own transaction.
5. Binance 16 immediately auto-refills 28,000 ETH due to automated treasury rebalance scripts, feeding the exploit loop.
The cold truth: you cannot forge an EIP-7702 delegation list.
For this to execute, the attacker already held the raw private key or unconstrained signing access to Binance 14's HSM/KMS.
But hey, 5.64 billion drained across ETH, BTC, and Tron. 2.54 billion frozen by Tether, Circle, Ripple, and World Liberty within hours.
Code is law until the stablecoin admin keys log in.
Binance got bailed out by the very centralized choke points the cypherpunks warned you about.
Hardware wallets leak your home address.
Centralized exchanges leak the keys to the kingdom.
Self-custody on native, non-delegated chains remains the only honest baseline.
At least you know what to avoid.

BREAKING: Ukraine has just struck Russia's Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery, and set it ablaze this morning with black smoke rising several kilometres.
It is the first Ukrainian strike on Russian oil infrastructure in nearly 2 weeks, after the St. Petersburg oil port on October 18.
Russia's Rosneft said it has stopped repairing most of its oil refineries because the strikes made the damage cycle too expensive to sustain.

⚡️Seven Russian tankers shipping diesel to US identified and located.
Greenpeace Ukraine identified the tankers and is currently tracking their journey. Three of these vessels are currently sanctioned by multiple countries as part of Russia's "shadow fleet" illegally exporting oil. One vessel has been under U.S. sanctions since January 2025.

The Cat Ba langur (also known as the golden-headed langur) is one of the rarest primates on Earth. It lives only on Cat Ba Island in Northern Vietnam and nowhere else in the wild.
There are only about 70 to 80 individuals left in existence.
My belief is that this sudden change has nothing to do with maximizing trump’s time. The multiple protestors at his hate rallies have really bothered trump because he can’t handle the truth. He now wants to be coddled in his safe space. Weak.
NEWS: Trump's in-person Iowa rally this weekend, scheduled for Dubuque on Sunday, has been canceled and replaced with a tele-rally, according to three sources familiar with the decision. The idea is to maximize Trump’s time and reach as many voters as possible, one source said, and tele-rallies allow him to cover more ground.

‼️ Google and Meta are resisting broad ICE demands for user data as the agency scours platforms for immigration speech.
Both are bracing for Democratic-led probes after the midterms.
Last year, Google handed ICE a student journalist's bank and card numbers on a subpoena no judge ever signed.
