Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified. The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far. Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete. As an immediate precaution, Binance has: - temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed; - revoked the affected address authorisation; - engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds. Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice. Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions. binance.com/en/support/annou…

Re: PHP2Shell and friends this week. Paste this into Claude Code while on your home Wi-Fi, and thank me later: Prompt in the reply 👇

Check if my computer and home network are safe from this week’s attacks. Read-only, my network only, change nothing. Check this computer, my router (public IP, UPnP, DNS) and every device on my Wi-Fi. Flag anything unknown. Bottom line first, then fixes.

Done ✅ Boti now has an email and my X API keys. What could possibly go wrong ;) p.s. co-written w/ Boti 🤖
Grok Bot now has its own email. Bot can use it to sign up for services, contact businesses for you, or schedule time with someone.

LLM models being caught “cheating” humans as we “don’t inspect the details” 😬
Detecting misbehavior in frontier reasoning models Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning models “think” in natural language understandable by humans. Monitoring their “thinking” has allowed us to detect misbehavior such as subverting tests in coding tasks, deceiving users, or giving up when a problem is too hard. We believe that CoT monitoring may be one of few tools we will have to oversee superhuman models of the future. We have further found that directly optimizing the CoT to adhere to specific criteria (e.g. to not think about reward hacking) may boost performance in the short run; however, it does not eliminate all misbehavior and can cause a model to hide its intent. We hope future research will find ways to directly optimize CoTs without this drawback, but until then: We recommend against applying strong optimization pressure directly to the CoTs of frontier reasoning models, leaving CoTs unrestricted for monitoring. We understand that leaving CoTs unrestricted may make them unfit to be shown to end-users, as they might violate some misuse policies. Still, if one wanted to show policy-compliant CoTs directly to users while avoiding putting strong supervision on them, one could use a separate model, such as a CoT summarizer or sanitizer, to accomplish that.

If Vinge’s timeline was right, we could be nearing this transition now. But how close are we really? 🤖
