A Pink Galaxy Plush Pepe (#2144) on black background just swapped hands on Tonnel Market for 6 regular Plush Pepes plus 17,000 GRAM (~$65K total).
In the meantime, Telegram quietly applied for the .gram top-level domain with ICANN. If approved, every user gets their own domain tied to their handle: @durov becomes durov.gram, @monk becomes monk.gram, with interactive websites hosted directly by Telegram.
A big week for the GRAM ecosystem.

In 2015, an anonymous person created a series of Bitcoin puzzle wallets, each harder than the last. Puzzle 71 still holds ~7.1 BTC (~$460K) unsolved after 10 years. A tool called Krackpot lets you try cracking it directly from your browser: paste your address, hit start, your computer hunts for the private key. Find it and 6 BTC are yours, the rest goes to the tool's creator.
The odds are astronomical. But somebody will eventually win.

Douglas Kim lost $1.94M after scammers used his data from Ledger’s 2023 breach to impersonate Ledger support and trick him into entering his seed phrase on a fake site. He’s now suing for the entire class: up to 210,000 customers whose data was exposed across Ledger’s multiple breaches (2020, 2023, 2026).
The lawsuit claims Ledger downplayed every breach, failed to notify customers in time, and never actually fixed their security. Ledger built its brand on keeping crypto safe.
The company that sells hardware security just got sued for being insecure.

Yesterday, ~4,000 BTC ($320M) was drained from the Liquid Network federation wallet, dropping the balance from 4,200 BTC to just 207. The attackers left an OP_RETURN message on-chain: “we are whitehats. contact us on chain.” They’ve since communicated with Blockstream via PGP-encrypted messages and have offered to return most of the funds once the vulnerability is patched. Liquid has paused its bridge nodes.
Bitcoin itself was never touched

In February, someone called Odido's helpdesk, pretended to be an IT employee, talked a staff member into logging into a fake site, and handed ShinyHunters access to 6.2 million customer records. Odido refused to pay the €1M ransom. All data went on the dark web.
Tonight at 21:00, Dutch police are broadcasting the caller's voice on national TV. "Everything points to it being a Dutchman." His only options: turn himself in, or watch his voice go viral.
The most creative wanted notice in cybercrime history.
