The patch tightens the RNG and signing flow, but seeds from affected firmware between 2021 and July 2026 still need replacement. AI-assisted auditing is the broader industry signal here.
The attacker's $1.36M haul was the smaller beat. A false CACAO balance collapsed the token 88.7%, and that's what drove the $11M in pool damage. Recovery terms remain undefined.
The year-long Fiji escape is the unusual part; the bigger read is the textbook Ponzi structure (25% guaranteed monthly returns, new-investor cash funding old) and the FBI's fast international close.
The APR printed correctly until the moment a 20-bridge chain or a single-verifier oracle stopped behaving; April was the reminder that headline yield tells you the system worked, not whether it…
The resolution puts individual accountability at the center of FTX's regulatory fallout and keeps executive conduct in focus after the exchange's collapse.

Funds stayed safe, but national IDs and bank details now in circulation expose 200,000 customers to follow-on phishing, and the breach lands in a wave that already hit SafePal and Trezor.
The bug sat in open-source code for five years while a community built on 'don't trust, verify' outsourced its judgment to one vendor's reputation, Foundation CEO Zach Herbert argues.
Founder says the warnings are 'fabricated rumors,' but a distressed-debt specialist is signaling court, a $10M customer claim is sitting unanswered, and the Aug 26 wind-down deadline is now two weeks…
Rolling back a top-50 Layer 1 to erase a 3 trillion ONE forge has almost no precedent. The cross-shard verification flaw is patched; the open question is whether rewritten history is safer than…
