OpenAI Pauses an AI Model After It Showed Signs of Hacking on Its Own
OpenAI says its upcoming Astra model may have crossed a critical cybersecurity threshold, capable of hacking hardened systems without human help, and has slowed its development.



Bybit has filed a civil lawsuit against North Korea, its RGB intelligence agency and the Lazarus Group over the $1.5 billion hack in 2025, winning a US court order to freeze the stolen funds.

The US economy unexpectedly shed 23,000 jobs in July instead of the forecast 80,000 gain. Traders repriced September Fed odds toward a pause, and bitcoin climbed more than 1% above $65,000.

Zero-knowledge proofs let you prove something is true without revealing the underlying data. Here's how zk-rollups and zkKYC actually work — and why exchanger owners should care in 2026.

Cross-chain bridges remain the weakest link in multi-network transfers. We break down how they work, why they keep topping the hack charts, and three scenarios for 2026 — with practical steps for exchanger owners.

Zero-knowledge proofs prove a fact — age, fund legitimacy, a passed verification — without exposing the data behind it. Here's how ZK actually works and why it matters for exchangers and their compliance.

An exchanger's real risk isn't just a hacked hot wallet — it's a single lost key to cold storage. Here's how a three-tier scheme with multisig protects against both, without slowing down daily payouts.

A cold wallet feels like a one-click fix for custody risk — go offline, sleep easy. In practice, several myths around cold storage quietly cost exchangers money and access to their reserve. Five worth unlearning.

Smart wallets built on account abstraction are rewriting the rules for exchanger customers: recovery without a seed phrase, flexible limits, and fees payable in any coin. Here's what works — and where the risks remain.
