🚨 EXCLUSIVE: ICD reconstructed the largest verified COLDCARD theft on-chain: 594.48 BTC drained from 500 addresses in 15 minutes and 18 seconds.
The attacker exploited a vulnerability by rebuilding COLDCARD's faulty seed generator on their own machine, produced the limited set of seeds it could ever have made, derived the Bitcoin addresses for each one, and checked them against the public blockchain. Every funded match was a live wallet, and the key to it.
The flaw: a March 2021 build error left COLDCARD building seeds from predictable device and clock values instead of true randomness, shrinking the pool of possible seeds from astronomical to searchable, about 40 bits on an Mk3, where 128 was intended. The PIN, the air gap and the secure element were all guarding a key that could be recreated from scratch.
Largest verified sweep: 594.48 BTC from 500 addresses in four blocks on 30 July, all it took was 15 minutes 18 seconds by block timestamps.

Here's that X data pull in action.
ego lite logged into my real X session, pulled @OpenAI's last 7 days of posts, skipped pinned and retweets, ranked the top 5 by views, and calculated average engagement rate.
This is the kind of workflow that usually turns into a messy stack of APIs, scraping tools, and browser automation hacks.
Now it’s one prompt.

Virtual private networks #VPN are increasingly used to bypass online age verification.
Protecting children online is a priority, with new rules being implemented requiring a minimum age for access to some services

ALT EPRS at-a-glance (first page) on 'Virtual private networks and the protection of children online' (January 2026)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to the University of Michigan research paper "Multi-perspective study of VPN users and VPN providers," 82.1% used VPNs "to protect myself from various threats/adversaries."
No research shows that VPNs would be increasingly used to bypass online age verification.

🚨🇪🇺 BREAKING: The European Commission just told all 27 member states to hurry up with rolling out online age verification, demanding deployment before the end of 2026.
Asked today how the system stops anyone bypassing it with a VPN from outside the EU, Vice-President Virkkunen said only that it is "an important part of the next steps."

‼️🇪🇺 The EU's new Age Verification app was hacked with little to no effort.
When you set it up, the app asks you to create a PIN. But that PIN isn't actually tied to the identity data it's supposed to protect. An attacker can delete a couple of entries from a file on the phone, restart the app, pick a new PIN, and the app happily hands over the original user's verified identity credentials as if nothing happened.
It gets worse. The app's "too many attempts" lockout is just a counter in a text file. Reset it to 0 and keep guessing. The biometric check (face/fingerprint) is a simple on/off switch in the same file. Flip it to off and the app skips it entirely.

The journalist who took down Harvey Weinstein just spent 18 months investigating Sam Altman.
And what he found out is genuinely insane:
The people who built OpenAI went on record saying he can't be trusted with the future of humanity.
A Microsoft executive even compared him to Bernie Madoff.
This isn't just some hit piece.
It's 100+ interviews, secret memos, HR documents, Slack messages, and private notes that had never been seen before.
Here's everything you have to know about Ronan Farrow's investigation:
Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI's former chief scientist and CO-FOUNDER, compiled 70 pages of internal evidence against Altman. Slack messages. HR files. Behavioral analysis.
The word at the top of his list of Altman's "consistent patterns": lying.
He sent the documents as disappearing messages because he was "terrified" someone would find them. They became legendary in Silicon Valley. Insiders just call them "the Ilya Memos."
Dario Amodei, another co-founder who left to start Anthropic, kept his own private notes. One line: "The problem with OpenAI is Sam himself."
Paul Graham, the man who RECRUITED Altman to run Y Combinator, told colleagues Altman had been "lying to us all the time." Multiple YC partners had complained about Altman's behavior by 2018. He was effectively forced out in 2019 despite publicly claiming for YEARS that he left voluntarily.
Former board members described him as "unconstrained by truth."
And the investigation found that Altman reportedly lied to the board about obtaining safety approvals for some of ChatGPT's most controversial features.
That's the man running an $852 billion company with 900 million weekly users and a Pentagon contract.
But here's where this gets really crazy:
The New Yorker investigation dropped on Sunday.
SAME DAY, Altman publishes a 13 page policy paper proposing robot taxes, a public wealth fund, and a four-day workweek. The most ambitious social policy document in OpenAI's history.
Dropped within HOURS of the most damaging article ever written about him.
That's not coincidence.
Monday: Elon Musk files a court motion demanding Altman be REMOVED as CEO. He wants the for-profit conversion completely unwound.
Then Friday at 3:45 AM: a 20yo throws a Molotov cocktail at Altman's San Francisco mansion. It bounces off the house. Lights the gate on fire. An hour later, same guy shows up at OpenAI HQ threatening to burn the building down. Police arrest him on the spot.
Nobody was hurt.
But within hours, Altman posts a photo of his husband and 1yo child on his blog. Writes that he hopes the image "might dissuade the next person." Then blames the New Yorker article for making things "more dangerous" for him.
In 5 days, Altman went from the target of the most devastating investigation in tech history to the sympathetic father whose family was attacked.
Now anyone who criticizes him has to do it in the shadow of a firebombing.
The New Yorker spent 18 months building the case that Altman is dangerous. Altman turned it into the reason HE'S in danger.
And none of this changes what Farrow actually found:
- The co-founders don't trust him
- The former board doesn't trust him
- The chief scientist documented 70 pages of evidence and was too scared to send them through normal channels
- Paul Graham says he was lied to
- A Microsoft executive put him in the same sentence as Madoff
The trial starts in 16 days.
If Musk wins, the for-profit conversion gets unwound and Altman is removed.
If Altman wins, the man that every person who helped build OpenAI has publicly warned about gets permanent, unchecked control of the most powerful AI company on Earth.
Either way, one thing is now undeniable...
The people closest to Sam Altman are the ones screaming the loudest warnings.
And this week proved he knows exactly how to make sure nobody listens.
Peak manipulation.

NETHERLANDS HOUSE PASSES 36% TAX ON UNREALIZED GAINS
As expected, the Dutch House of Representatives has approved a 36% tax on unrealized capital gains, with only forward loss offsets permitted.
The proposal now moves to the Senate, where parties that supported the bill also hold a majority, making final approval likely.
Critics warn the measure could disrupt long term investment strategies, weaken compounding effects, and encourage capital outflows.
Several right leaning parties had publicly criticized the proposal in advance, but most ultimately voted in favor, citing fiscal constraints and the cost of delaying or revising the plan, stating "we don't like it either but we have to".
NETHERLANDS TO TAX UNREALIZED BITCOIN GAINS
Netherlands is moving toward taxing unrealized capital gains on bitcoin, stocks, bonds, and other assets after parliament voted to overhaul annual income tax filings.
Under the new system, investors will owe tax each year based on changes in asset value, even if nothing has been sold.
The reform, known as Wet werkelijk rendement Box 3, is scheduled for 2028 and will tax actual returns by measuring the difference between an asset’s value at the start and end of the year, plus any income received.
That means both realized and unrealized gains will be taxed.
Critics warn the shift could create serious liquidity problems, forcing investors to pay taxes on paper gains without having cashed out.

Zelfs @elonmusk post nu over het over het compleet achterlijke wetsvoorstel om ongerealiseerde winsten te belasten dat dankzij steun van de @VVD van @DilanYesilgoz is aangenomen en fnuikend is voor de Nederlandse economie. Nederlandse media zijn muisstil, snappen ze het niet?

11 jaar geleden.
Erik de Vlieger maakt Jesse Klaver volledig af bij Pauw en Witteman en legt de enorme geldverspilling en bureaucratisering van de EU bloot.
Is er in al die jaren iets opgelost of verbeterd bij de EU?
Het is alleen maar erger geworden.
