ZetaChain recently suffered a $334,000 exploit targeting its cross-chain gateway contract, an incident that was entirely preventable. The vulnerability used to drain funds across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and BSC had been previously flagged by a researcher through the project’s bug bounty program. H
The Israeli Capital Market Authority has granted its first authorisation for a shekel-pegged stablecoin, known as BILS. Developed by the cryptocurrency exchange Bits of Gold, the token is the result of a two-year pilot programme conducted under state supervision. The asset is issued on the Solana ne
The European Union has enacted its twentieth sanctions package against Russia, implementing a total sectoral ban on cryptocurrency providers and platforms established within the federation. The measures extend to Belarus and specifically target the infrastructure used to move value outside of tradit
The recent surge in digital asset thefts, including the 1.5 billion dollar breach of Bybit and the 300 million dollar drain of Drift Protocol, highlights a persistent vulnerability that code alone cannot patch. These incidents were not the result of sophisticated cryptographic breakthroughs or quant
The Litecoin network recently experienced a 13-block reorganisation, rewinding approximately 32 minutes of transaction history. The event was triggered by an exploit targeting the Mimblewimble Extension Block protocol, a privacy-focused layer integrated into the chain. While the Litecoin Foundation
The recent activity across the scaling landscape reveals a widening gap between the marketing of decentralised finance and the reality of administrative control. In the most significant event, the Arbitrum Security Council intervened to freeze over 30,000 ETH following an exploit on KelpDAO. While t
The Telegram founder has attributed a sharp rise in crypto-related kidnappings in France to the systemic failure of state data protection. Reports indicate that since the start of 2026, approximately 41 individuals have been targeted in physical abductions, a rate of one incident every two and a hal
A researcher utilised cloud-accessible quantum hardware to break a 15-bit cryptographic key, signalling a rapid compression of the timeline for elliptic curve vulnerability.
The United States Department of Justice has frozen more than 701 million dollars in digital assets linked to South East Asian investment syndicates. Through a coordinated strike force, federal authorities worked directly with centralized exchanges to lock funds, seize infrastructure, and dismantle o
The headline writes itself, but most people still won’t see what just happened.
The theoretical emergence of cryptographically relevant quantum computing poses a direct threat to roughly 1.7 million BTC held in early addresses. These legacy wallets, primarily from the Satoshi era, utilise Pay-to-Public-Key (P2PK) scripts that expose public keys directly on the ledger. A suffici
Apple has released a security patch addressing a vulnerability in the iOS notification system that allowed law enforcement to access message previews from encrypted applications. The flaw, identified in unsealed court documents from an FBI investigation, enabled the forensic extraction of Signal mes
