The European Parliament has paved the way for the extension of Chat Control until 2028. This regime allows platforms to voluntarily scan certain private communications to detect child sexual abuse content. The text however rekindles a central battle in Europe: protecting children without weakening encryption and privacy.

The Ethereum Foundation is shifting paradigms and automating its cyber defense. Its « Protocol Security » unit now deploys swarms of autonomous AI agents to continuously attack its own network. The goal is to track, exploit, and fix vulnerabilities before hackers do. This initiative, revealed by the protocol's security team, marks a major technological breakthrough at a time when the slightest flaw in a smart contract can lead to losses of hundreds of millions of dollars.

The EU Parliament revives the vote on the Chat Control text. This rekindles concerns about the confidentiality of private messages.

Ethereum changes course: Vitalik Buterin unveils a roadmap focused on quantum resistance. Read our full analysis.

Donald Trump signs two decrees to accelerate quantum computing in the United States. What this means for the crypto universe.

The National Cybersecurity Agency of France (ANSSI) has just laid the foundations for a mandatory transition to post-quantum cryptography, cementing a threat that many still thought was distant. This decision is crucial because it represents the tipping point between theoretical research and legal obligation, requiring critical infrastructures and the crypto industry to hasten their own technological transformation.

The arrival of autonomous agents is evolving the very notion of sovereignty and infrastructures in the digital age. Faced with a rise in technology often faster than old rules, it becomes essential to give a legal existence to algorithmic entities. Estonia, a pioneer in innovative institutions and 100% digital, confirms once again as the global laboratory of this transition. By granting an official status to artificial intelligences, the Baltic state traces a new path in the history of technological governance.

Zcash dodged a bullet with a bug buried deep in its guts, but the coin bounced back like a jack-in-the-box. The short sellers? They got wrecked.

The security of a blockchain relies on a simple promise: making the cost of an attack far greater than the expected benefit. This equation has held for over ten years thanks to cryptographic mechanisms considered solid. Yet quantum computing is beginning to shake everything up. The machines that could threaten bitcoin or Ethereum do not yet exist, but progress already made in this field forces developers to prepare for the future. A proposal presented by Nicolas Consigny, manager of the Kohaku project at the Ethereum Foundation, indicates that Ethereum could start protecting its accounts against quantum attacks today for a trivial amount: only 7 cents per account.

Zcash had a close call, a very close call, with a four-year-old bug hidden in its secret circuit. Claude Mythos came through and found nothing else. Phew.

An exploit on Ethereum threatened the icons of the NFT market. Yuga Labs, creator of the Bored Apes, reacted as a hero, securing more than 60 NFTs worth $570,000. A whitehat operation that reignites the debate on the security and future of Ethereum NFTs.

Bitget polishes its digital armor while scammers raid every shiny corner of modern finance. Crypto, AI, tokenized stocks: the buffet grew larger, and the pickpockets arrived wearing smarter masks.

Bitcoin security has just received a new wake-up call. Microsoft unveiled Majorana 2, a quantum chip presented as a major advance towards quantum computers capable of solving problems currently beyond the reach of classical machines. While this innovation does not yet directly threaten the network created by Satoshi Nakamoto, it revives a question that has worried the crypto ecosystem for years: how long will the cryptography protecting bitcoin withstand the rise of quantum computing?

Anthropic's Claude Mythos is set to revolutionize cybersecurity with 150 organizations ready to test AI through Project Glasswing and a confidential IPO in sight! A major advance for digital security.

In Texas, a miracle returns cowboy reportedly sold AI bots more hollow than a deserted saloon. The SEC is now counting the millions, fake promises, and fleeced investors.

After nearly four years of research and development, Silent Protocol celebrates its first anniversary on Ethereum mainnet by opening the protocol to new users and raising transactional limits—delivering on its promise of composable, universal privacy.

At StablR, a single private key turned a regulated stablecoin into a smoking wreck. Brussels was quietly polishing MiCA, while the digital mechanics were already losing screws behind the technical curtains.

Quantum computing may have just entered a new era. China claims to have developed a machine capable of performing in 25 microseconds operations that no classical supercomputer could replicate before a time beyond comprehension. Behind Jiuzhang 4.0, presented by the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), an explosive issue is already emerging for the crypto industry: the future security of bitcoin in the face of accelerating quantum technologies. This breakthrough also reignites the strategic battle between Beijing and Washington in the global race for computing power.

INFO ALERT: A Trojan horse has just been discovered at the heart of the Mistral AI ecosystem. Microsoft raises the alarm: are your AI models at risk?

For years, the quantum threat has remained a distant scenario for bitcoin. This perception is wavering. A report from Project Eleven now estimates that the network might lack time to prepare its cryptographic transition before the arrival of quantum computers capable of breaking its current protections. Behind this alert lies a colossal issue: several million BTC could become vulnerable if the ecosystem fails to coordinate its migration in time. Such a prospect brutally revives the debate about bitcoin's future security.

Elon Musk has chosen public confrontation with the French justice system. Targeted by an investigation over X and its artificial intelligence Grok, the American billionaire published insults in French directly aimed at the magistrates in charge of the case. Behind this new provocation lies a much bigger conflict between European authorities and digital platforms accused of algorithmic drifts, dissemination of illicit content, and political interference. Paris is now taking on one of the most powerful men in global tech.

Can a technology deemed too risky become a strategic asset overnight? In Washington, the Anthropic case illustrates this shift. After being excluded from federal systems, the AI company is returning to the center of discussions, as its capabilities trigger as much interest as concern. Between military requirements, cybersecurity issues, and ethical limits claimed by its leaders, the US administration is now seeking a compromise path in a highly sensitive case.

Crypto on alert: DeFi loses 13 billion in one month and exposes its flaws. Complete analysis of a shock that worries investors.

DeFi hits a wall: JPMorgan warns about a lack of trust from institutions. Detailed explanations in this article!

Generative AI is now at the heart of debates on global financial stability. Joachim Nagel, president of the Bundesbank, has issued a severe warning: Anthropic's Mythos model could expose European banking systems to unprecedented risks. Will Europe be able to respond before it's too late?

At Vercel, an AI tool opens the door slightly, hackers pass through, and crypto discovers that its brand-new fortresses sometimes rest on rusty hinges, poorly guarded at night.

The X case has reached a new level. What initially was a French investigation into Elon Musk's platform has now taken the form of a political showdown between Paris and Washington. The submitted text already highlights this rising tension around X.
