Finland started building drone-hunting surveillance planes. The system flies like a normal plane, spots drones from above, and costs a fraction of what military surveillance jets normally run.

a four year-old bug in zcash's orchard privacy pool could have allowed unlimited and undetectable fake $zec minting, not a good look here.
it was found on may 29 by a security engineer called "taylor hornby" using anthropic's opus 4.8, released just the day before. plus he didn't just find it, he even wrote a working exploit that confirmed it was real.
the fix shipped in days via an emergency hard fork. currently there's zero evidence of exploitation, but here's the problem with that: orchard's privacy design makes it cryptographically impossible to prove it was never used. that uncertainty alone sent $zec down ~30%.
from my research i found that arthur hayes exited his entire position over it.
also worth noting: human auditors missed this for 4 years but ai caught it in a single targeted review
should we hire auditors anymore or just pay anthropic to access claude security?
