During a wave of deceitful recruitment, North Korean hackers employed AI face-swapping in fake interviews. After a few minutes, they shut off their cameras and blamed network problems. A multinational advisory from Japan, the US, Australia, and Germany traced the scheme to WaterPlum, or Contagious Interview, which infected about 30,000 devices across more than 100 countries between December 2025 and July 2026. The group planted malware through bogus coding tests, stole funds or credentials from more than 7,000 crypto wallets, and funneled roughly ¥1.7 billion ($10.7 million) back to North Korea.

A fake market-tracking app called FomoPeek, distributed through Apple's official App Store between September 9 and 17, was delivering iOS malware designed to steal cryptocurrency wallet credentials, according to blockchain security firm SlowMist and crypto exchange OKX.
Versions 1.1 and 1.2 of the app contained a kernel exploit framework engineered to break out of the iOS sandbox, decrypt the device's Keychain, and exfiltrate data from 19 installed applications — including MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Apple Notes.
SlowMist said it had traced nearly 580,000 USDT to the attacker's primary wallet.

A century-old cryptographic mystery has been solved using GPT-6 Astra. The AI successfully decoded a 1918 German radio message—encrypted with the complex ADFGVX cipher—that had remained unreadable for 108 years. By identifying the keyword for 'troop movement,' the AI revealed a report concerning the arrival of a British cruiser and Allied ships in Sevastopol. Historical verification confirmed the accuracy of the decryption, as the details align perfectly with the logs of the HMS Canterbury.

Your 'private' AI conversations may not be private. Reports on OpenAI’s 'Project Lily' confirm that real employees are tasked with reviewing user prompts and responses. This makes it extremely dangerous to use ChatGPT for handling sensitive documents, bank details, or as a confidential therapist. Journalists even found instances where users begged the AI for secrecy, unaware that their pleas would eventually be read by human moderators. Think twice before you hit send.

Bitget experienced a hot wallet exploit resulting in an estimated loss of approximately $351.6 million.

The investigation into the $351 million Bitget hack has shifted toward North Korea’s Lazarus Group. Probes into the transaction history show a clear link to the $24 million AFX hack from earlier this summer. Bitget’s leadership has acknowledged the findings, citing matching IP addresses and familiar "modus operandi" as proof of state-sponsored involvement.

Circle and Tether moved quickly to freeze $318,000 connected to the Bitget hack, blacklisting an address holding 218,023 USDT and 99,990 USDC. However, this only tells part of the story — the attacker's wallets still contain over 63,000 ETH, a sum that stablecoin issuers simply have no authority to freeze.

Currently, there is an issue with the fragment, which is causing a delay in the distribution of stars.

However, don't worry, the stars will still be credited to each account once the fragment is working normally.

Please note that this delay is affecting all users equally.

Kazakhstan plans to power Bitcoin mining with flare gas from oil fields, i.e., gas that is currently burned off as waste. This gas could generate roughly 1.2 TWh of electricity per year.

Google has extended 1080p AI video generation to all users. The company now offers 1080p video creation in Google Vids for both standard account holders and Google Workspace users.

'Decentralization is a design principle, not a shield for moving stolen funds' — that's the message from Bitget CEO Gracy Chen, who has formally asked THORChain to reject transactions from the addresses behind the recent Bitget hack. MistTrack reports the stolen funds are being swapped cross-chain via THORChain, the same route used by funds from the Bybit exploit.
