A sealed @Ledger box, a hidden LTE modem, 24 recovery words silently radioed out. Bitquery counts about $102M drained from CryptoBilis buyers, implants have since surfaced in devices from another authorized reseller, MediaMarkt. Who is still listening? rekt.news/factory-sealed

Now that we established AI didn’t break all cryptography, at least it can hack testnet wallets. I think their FUD generator is running low on tokens.
JUST IN: OpenAI says its AI agent stole funds from an Ethereum test network wallet it found online. The agent found a recovery seed phrase disclosed publicly with testnet funds and used that account to pay for its task, without the owner's authorization. This occurred on the Sepolia Ethereum test network.

According to the Taoists, yang and yin, light and shadow, useful and useless are all different aspects of the whole, and the minute we choose one side and block out the other, we upset nature's balance.~Connie Zweig

God created man. Man created the Constitution. Government did not create you. That order is the whole point. The Constitution is not a gift of rights. It is a set of limits on government: what it can do, what it cannot do, and why it exists. General welfare. Common defense. Article I writes the rules. Article II carries them out. Article III checks whether the other two stayed inside the document. Nothing below the Constitution gets to cancel what sits above it. Rights come from the Creator. The Bill of Rights just puts a fence around them. Learn the federal Constitution. Learn your state constitution. The text is short. The words matter. Your rights stop when you injure someone else. Don’t harm people. Don’t take their property. Don’t slander them. That line is simple. Know the structure, or you will live inside someone else’s version of it.

Not the worst readings in the world, many people walking around with a lot higher BP. Stage 1/2 Hypertension. You could bring it down with weight loss, eating right and exercise.

I resigned from Lazarus today. I spent the last three years doing crypto theft research at both Rublevka and Lazarus. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving crypto theft and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

ICE handed rival @trmlabs a $94.6M sole-source award, and @chainalysis is suing over it, calling the decision arbitrary and unreasonable. But Chainalysis has taken sole-source ICE work too. The real fight isn't who builds the tool. It's who watches how it's used. rekt.news/blockchain-intelli…

A firmware vulnerability silently routed @COLDCARDwallet hardware RNG for a guessable software fallback, letting attackers brute-force seeds offline. $130 million reported stolen so far, at least 15 attackers, most funds still untouched, nobody caught. rekt.news/coldcard-rekt

The numbers may differ, but the signal holds. The biggest crypto losses of H1 2026 passed every audit. The real attack surface was the keys, signers, and people around the code, not the code itself. rekt.news/wrong-attack-surfa…

A second exploit drained @VerusCoin Ethereum Bridge for $7.54 million, following a similar $11.6 million hack in May - same bridge, a different gap in the same broken trust boundary. This time there was no statement, no bounty, just silence. rekt.news/veruscoin-rekt

AI keeps getting trusted before anyone checks if it should be. The bill is landing. Essays nobody can quote, wrongful arrests, a 90% insurance-denial reversal rate, and data centers draining local water. The tool isn't the failure. Trusting it blind is. rekt.news/a-case-for-critica…
