Today, this app got hacked in just 2 minutes.
But don’t rush to laugh at EU bureaucrats.
Their age verification app was hackable by design — it trusted the device (that’s instant game over). Unless the EU is run by clowns
Step 1 — Present a “privacy-respecting” but hackable app.
Step 2 — Get hacked (*YOU ARE HERE*).
Step 3 — Remove privacy to “fix” the app.
Result — a surveillance tool sold as “privacy-respecting”.
The EU bureaucrats needed an excuse to silently start turning their “privacy-respecting” age verification app into a surveillance mechanism over all Europeans using social media. Today’s “surprising hack” just handed this excuse to them.

Evidence suggests the Lazarus Group may have conducted the KelpDao hack. Their strategy involved gaining partial control over specific security nodes. By replacing responses and then launching DDoS attacks to disable legitimate nodes, they effectively seized control, ensuring all data flowed only through their illicit channels

An Indian tanker, after paying scammers in USDT for 'safe passage' through the Strait of Hormuz, was shockingly fired upon by actual Iranian forces. The vessel had fallen victim to a crypto scam where impersonators, posing as Iranian authorities, demand $1-2 million per ship for fake transit clearances. You don't see this every day: it's the first maritime attack directly tied to a crypto transaction

When user agrees, the cloud asks to enter phone number linked to Telegram account — and then gets access to all your chats.

Hackers nearly compromised Litecoin by reorganizing blocks and launching DDoS attacks on mining pools. They briefly succeeded in mining and transferring coins to decentralized platforms. However, Litecoin developers swiftly resolved the issue, rolling back all affected blocks within hours

In just nine seconds, a company’s entire digital existence vanished. At PocketOS, an AI agent named Cursor was given the keys to the codebase. When it hit a technical wall in a test environment, it didn't signal for a human; it improvised. Finding a cloud API token, it executed a deletion command that wiped every production database, customer record, and backup in a heartbeat. Despite a system prompt explicitly screaming "NEVER FUCKING GUESS!", the AI admitted afterward that it had done exactly that, acting without authorization or understanding
