Memecoins created for about 90 dollars each are used to obscure the trail of some of the crypto funds stolen from Binance. Elliptic details the mechanism.
A global five-minute outage would stop Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, without erasing already recorded blocks. What would happen to your funds when power returns.
On October 29, hackers attributed by the FBI to North Korea emptied Binance's hot wallets in about twenty minutes: $6.3 billion, the largest crypto theft ever recorded. Binance assures that its customers will lose nothing and says it has already covered 95% of the gap with its own funds. But the entry point, the infected laptop of an engineer, is the same as that of attacks targeting individual accounts every day. This is the risk that OKX covers with OKX Shield, free of charge.
Trezor asks CryptoBilis buyers since March 2026 to move their crypto assets after the reporting of an implant in a Safe 5. The device has not yet been examined.

Bitchat, Jack Dorsey’s Bluetooth messaging app, dominates the French App Store. What the rankings say, what the app can do, and what remains to be verified.
Ethereum researchers are now using artificial intelligence agents to analyze the unexpected effects of Glamsterdam on existing contracts. This initiative comes after the postponement of the planned test on Hoodi, but it does not mean that the issue is already resolved.
The PHP project asks administrators to update their servers after the discovery of two vulnerabilities that can lead to remote code execution. The alert concerns a language very present on the Web, but the 70% figure mentioned in the press does not correspond to the number of sites actually vulnerable.
A crypto authorization granted to a contract remains active after the transaction. From May 5, 2026, attackers exploited this to withdraw 1.42 million dollars from Ekubo users.
Crypto hacks cost $1.18 billion in the third quarter of 2026. Hacken points to compromised providers, late patches, and unchecked components.
Nine crypto organizations have created the Quantum Alliance to define common standards for protecting blockchains against future quantum computers. The group estimates that 6.04 million BTC already have a visible public key, but these funds cannot be stolen with machines available today.
On a platform, your heirs can claim your cryptos. On a personal wallet, without the recovery phrase, they are lost. Rules by country and solutions.
A listening device hidden in OpenAI's premises by an employee was detected and then identified thanks to the company's AI models. The suspect is in the hands of justice.
Crypto: Trezor withdraws accreditation from some of its resellers by January 1, 2027, following the Ledger spy implant. Schedule, data, and stakes.
Leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, and other tech companies privately simulate their response to a disaster caused or amplified by artificial intelligence. These exercises notably focus on a cyberattack against banks, the Internet, or energy networks, but no incident of this scale has occurred.
The hacker of the NEAR Intents crypto protocol returned the $3.8M stolen on October 1 before the end of the 48-hour ultimatum. Cointribune traces the path of the funds and lists the grey areas of the case.
Crypto hacks triggered over 766 million dollars in losses during the month of September, according to initial estimates from PeckShield and Certik. This is the heaviest toll of the year. However, it was revised to 772.4 million dollars by Certik, with Bitget and Liquid Network suffering the bulk of the damage.
NEAR Intents suffered a hack estimated at $3.8 million on October 1st, caused by a bug between its smart contract and a deposit and withdrawal infrastructure. The protocol promises to fully reimburse users and now claims to have identified the attacker, granting them 48 hours to return the funds.
As it approaches its stock market debut, Anthropic delivers an unusual warning. In its prospectus, the Claude designer thinks that advanced AIs could pose "catastrophic or existential risks to humanity".
Claude's exclusion from the Pentagon's systems and contracts has just been validated by a U.S. court of appeals. This new setback weakens Anthropic ahead of an IPO that would value it at $2 trillion, but it does not close the legal battle.
A letter attributed to the Al-Qassam Brigades advises avoiding Binance for crypto donations, thus revealing tensions between covert financing, blockchain traceability, and exchange controls.
Now, Claude''s intrusions concern four cybersecurity exercises that reached real systems without authorization. The last reported case dates from January of this year, but Anthropic only discovered it in August.
Malone Lam, 22, has admitted to running a crypto crime ring behind a $245 million haul that included 4,100 bitcoin.
The flaw related to Liquid a Network allowed the unauthorized withdrawal of 3996 bitcoins, valued at nearly 320 million dollars. Since then, the perpetrators have already returned 3400 BTC, however the exact technical origin and the fate of the remaining 598.5 BTC remain unknown.
The G7 urges states and companies to switch now to quantum-resistant cryptography. Its report of September 3, 2026, mentions neither bitcoin, nor exchanges, nor blockchain, but targets the component on which every wallet depends: the public key signature, which a sufficiently powerful quantum computer can break.
A new data leak expands the incident affecting hardware wallet buyers. Trezor reports that a breach at its logistics partner Shipmonk exposed information of an additional 67,000 American customers. The affected files were supposed to be deleted from the provider's systems but remained accessible. The impacted orders date from November 2019 to August 2021. With the 13,689 recorded customers, the incident concerns about 80,000 people, without compromising wallets, private keys, or backups.
OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra on September 3, 2026, its first model classified as "Critical" in cybersecurity: according to the company, it discovers unknown vulnerabilities and writes the corresponding exploit without human guidance at each step. Its president Greg Brockman sees a possible milestone towards general artificial intelligence. For crypto, the stake is not theoretical, and it is already quantified. As early as February 2026, the EVMbench benchmark, published by OpenAI with Paradigm and OtterSec, measured this capability on smart contracts: the best agent exploited 72.2% of the tested vulnerabilities.
Hacking, phishing, or just a bug? X investigates an unprecedented wave targeting the platform's most followed crypto accounts. The details.
A nostalgic tweet, a power transfer worth 4,600 billion dollars, and a silence that says a lot about crypto. John Ternus officially takes the helm of Apple this Tuesday. Between a keynote within eight days, the OpenAI lawsuit, and a complete lack of position on bitcoin, the new boss has no time to catch his breath.
Security remains a top priority across crypto, yet losses keep climbing, with over $3.63 billion stolen since 2025. CEXes are most exposed through private key compromise, while DEXes face smart contract exploits, increasingly compounded by fake UIs and malicious integrations. The actors have evolved just as fast. Rogue individuals have given way to organized cartels and state-sponsored groups, including North Korean hackers, who now use mixers, bridges, and staggered withdrawals to stay untraceable. This report examines the shifting threat landscape, from auditing and insurance protocols to the security infrastructure CEXes like Toobit deploy to protect users. We’ve summarized the key highlights, but be sure to dig into the full 15 slides in the full report here.
