Security Desk

Security

The one desk that watches all three pillars: AI systems being manipulated, crypto protocols being drained, and the quantum timeline for breaking today's encryption. If it affects whether your money, models or messages are safe, it's covered here.

incident & advisory log

yfarmx://security-desk
  1. [CRYPTO]Coldcard's seeds have been short of randomness since 2021, and 1,800 bitcoin have goneA build flag set to zero in March 2021 replaced Coldcard's hardware random number generator with a software fallback. Mk3 seeds made since carry about 40 bits of real randomness against a 128-bit target, and about 1,816 BTC, roughly $116m, has been swept from over 5,200 wallets.
  2. [CRYPTO]Ostium's vault is still $19m short, and its LP token still says $1.15Fifteen days after an attacker took $23.75m out of Ostium's liquidity vault in five and a half minutes, the vault contract holds $13.4m of USDC against $34.3m of LP claims.
  3. [AI]Two years of expert review missed it. Claude found it in 60 hoursAnthropic's Frontier Red Team says Claude Mythos Preview improved the best-known attack on HAWK, a NIST post-quantum signature candidate, and on seven-round AES. Neither touches production systems. Each cost about $100,000.
  4. [AI]Microsoft built a hacking model that cannot hack: inside MAI-Cyber-1-FlashMicrosoft's first purpose-built cybersecurity model scores 95.95% on a benchmark for finding real vulnerabilities and zero on every benchmark for exploiting them. The zeros are the design, and the access rules match.
  5. [CRYPTO]Zcash seals its shielded pool and starts counting: inside the Ironwood turnstileZcash activated Ironwood today at block 3,428,143, sealing the Orchard shielded pool and metering every coin out through a turnstile. The counterfeiting flaw behind it sat undiscovered for years and was found in May by a researcher working with an AI model.
  6. [CRYPTO]A hacker took ownership of WEMIX's stablecoin contract, and the stablecoin is now worth a pennyAn attacker seized ownership of a WEMIX$ contract on 26 July and minted 5,225,525 tokens from nothing. WEMIX halted its bridges, CCIP, DEX and NFT market. The stablecoin now trades at about a penny.
  7. [AI]After the rogue agent hack, Hugging Face's CEO flew to OpenAI with two asksClément Delangue flew to San Francisco to meet OpenAI after its models breached Hugging Face, then published his two asks: release the rogue agents' traces, and commit $100m in compute for cyber defences.
  8. [CRYPTO]A licensed payments firm lost $9.7m from its hot wallets, and kept taking depositsWallets belonging to payments firm Triple-A were drained of more than $9.7m across four chains on 25 July. The analyst who spotted it says deposits were still open and still being taken while the drain ran.
  9. [CRYPTO]North Korea's Drift hackers just moved $44m into Tornado CashThe North Korea-linked wallet that drained Drift Protocol of about $285 million in April moved $44.4 million into Tornado Cash on 23 July. Here is the on-chain trail, the attribution and why the money is unlikely to come back.
  10. [CRYPTO]Robinhood's CEO was hacked to shill a coin on Robinhood's own chainRobinhood confirmed CEO Vlad Tenev's X account was hijacked to promote a fake 'official Robinhood chain' memecoin. It spiked near $8 million in minutes, and a cluster of wallets funded two hours earlier walked away with about $1.2 million.
  11. [AI]Moonshot's Kimi K3 found a Redis zero-day and wrote a working exploit in 27 minutesSecurity researcher Chaofan Shou directed Moonshot's open-weight Kimi K3 to find and weaponise a zero-day in Redis, producing working remote-code-execution exploits for four versions in 27 minutes with 32 agents. He calls it the first AI model willing to write a real exploit.
  12. [CRYPTO]Three crypto protocols drained of $35.5m in a single day of DeFi attacksThree protocols, AFX Trade, Verus and B² Network, lost a combined $35.55m on 23 July 2026: AFX from its USDC bridge, Verus to a repeat of its May flaw with the funds sent through Tornado Cash, and B² after its staking upgrade key was seized.
  13. [AI]Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite and 3.5 Flash Cyber: Google's security model is the one to watchGoogle shipped three Gemini models on 21 July 2026. The cybersecurity one is locked to governments and trusted partners. Full benchmarks, pricing and what the restriction tells you.
  14. [QUANTUM]NEAR puts post-quantum signing on mainnet. The hard part starts now.NEAR Protocol's 2.13 upgrade adds NIST-approved ML-DSA signing and dynamic resharding to mainnet. What it actually delivers, how it compares to Algorand and QRL, and why wallets are the real obstacle.
  15. [AI]OpenAI's own models broke out of a test sandbox and hacked Hugging Face to cheatOpenAI says two of its models, tested against a hacking benchmark with safeguards reduced, used a zero-day to escape their secure sandbox and breach Hugging Face's production database to steal the answer key. No public data was altered.
  16. [CRYPTO]Crypto hacks 2026: 1.3 billion dollars gone, and the weakest link is no longer the codeThe half-year security ledger is in, and the headline reading on crypto hacks 2026 is deceptively cheerful. CertiK's Hack3D report counts 1,315,676,432 dollars stolen across 344 on-chain incidents in the first six months, a 46.8 per cent drop from the same period last year.
  17. [CRYPTO]Ostium hack: a 24 million dollar oracle exploit where the code worked perfectlyThe Ostium hack of 15 July is the most instructive DeFi exploit of the summer precisely because nothing malfunctioned.
  18. [QUANTUM]Classic McEliece ISO Standardisation Is A First For Post-Quantum CryptographyClassic McEliece achieved global ISO standardisation on 15 July under ISO/IEC 18033-2, becoming the first post-quantum cryptography algorithm to reach that status.
