$3.6M ripped from Bitcoin Depot's corporate wallet after hackers phished credentials to settlement accounts (used to move assets between parties). Per SEC filing: customer funds & data untouched. But hot wallets + weak credential hygiene = open season for attackers. Cold storage won't save you if your login is the weak link. 🏧🔴

More than $586K was lost across two fresh wallet scam cases, according to @web3_antivirus. One user lost $386K in USDT after sending funds to a poisoned lookalike address copied from the tx history. A @MetaMask user also lost $200K in a wallet drainer incident, with $168K in USDT, $22.8K in USDC and $9.2K in LINK drained in a single tx. Poisoned wallet history and user-signed approvals remain 2 of the simplest ways for attackers to empty wallets.

🚨 Major milestone for ParyonUSD Sighash Labs has just released their comprehensive smart contract audit for @ParyonUSD - the most advanced end-user application ever built on Bitcoin Script, with a full suite of 26 sophisticated CashScript contracts. This wasn’t some quick checklist review. It was a rigorous, multi-pass audit by true experts in UTXO-model smart contracts. They dove deep into every function, flow, and edge case. The audit uncovered issues across severity levels - including one critical finding tied to the interest-earning mechanics. The Paryon team jumped on every single item, fixed them all, and even caught & resolved a new bug that was introduced during remediation. Final result? Completely clean report. Zero outstanding issues. This is exactly the kind of professional-grade security work the space needs if we want real, trust-minimised DeFi on Bitcoin Cash. A decentralised stablecoin that’s actually verifiable, resilient, and ready for prime time. Huge respect to the entire @ParyonUSD team and the Sighash Labs crew for setting a new standard on BCH. This level of diligence builds real confidence. 🔗 Full audit report + blog post 👇 The next chapter for stablecoins on Bitcoin Cash is here. #BCH #DeFi #BitcoinCash #ParyonUSD #SmartContractAudit

Can't tell, but the laptop I used in 2009 had been opened and someone was searching for something. This laptop had bitcoin on it but when data was recovered it was all random data from before and after 2009, nothing of mine. Weirdly had 100k bitcoin stored on microscopic paint.

Reached the end
