Extremely Rare Red Sprites Spotted Flashing Over Tibet. They are caused by high levels of electrical activity and form in the upper atmosphere during powerful thunderstorms.

The Google Threat Intelligence Group has detected the first known instance of a threat actor using an AI-developed zero-day exploit in the wild. While the attackers planned a wide-scale strike, our proactive counter-discovery may have prevented that from happening. This finding is part of our new report on AI-powered threats.

Billionaire Michael Milken joked “if a US company replaces the US-born CEO with a CEO born in India, I buy the stock”

But he reveals he hasn’t backtested the idea.
So we did.

In the last 15yrs, that would’ve 50x’d your money: 7.5x more $$ and >2x IRR vs S&P500: 30% vs 14%!

🚨🇧🇷 A cybersecurity researcher from Brazil exposed a large scale scam operation by buying a "Ledger" hardware wallet off a Chinese marketplace — suspiciously cheap and the packaging looked original from a distance.

Here's what he found after cracking the thing open:

The "hardware wallet"
Inside the shell was a completely different chip — the kind you'd find in a cheap IoT gadget, not a wallet designed to protect your crypto. The markings had been physically sanded off to hide what it actually was.

The firmware pretended to be a real Ledger version that doesn't even exist (Ledger Nano S+ V2.1). And here's the kicker: every seed phrase and PIN you'd type into it was stored in plain text and sent straight to the attacker's server (kkkhhhnnn[.]com). Instantly...

It was built to drain wallets across ~20 different blockchains.

The fake app
The seller kindly included a "Ledger Live" app to go with it. It was a modified copy — not even signed properly, the attackers didn't bother with the basics — and it silently siphoned off data the moment you used it.

Just when you thought this was it, the same crew is also pushing malware for Windows, macOS, and even iOS — using TestFlight to sneak past Apple's App Store review entirely.

The researcher has sent a full report to Ledger's security team. A deeper technical breakdown is expected once they've finished their analysis.

🚨 Andrej Karpathy just explained the scariest thing happening in software right now..

someone poisoned a Python package that gets 97 million downloads a month.. and a simple pip install was enough to steal everything on your machine..

SSH keys.. AWS credentials.. crypto wallets.. database passwords.. git credentials.. shell history.. SSL private keys.. everything..

and here's the part that should terrify every developer alive..

the attack was only discovered because the attacker wrote sloppy code.. the malware used so much RAM that it crashed someone's computer.. if the attacker had been better at coding.. nobody would have noticed for weeks..

one developer.. using Cursor with an MCP plugin.. had litellm pulled in as a dependency they didn't even know about.. their machine crashed.. and that crash saved thousands of companies from getting their entire infrastructure stolen..

Karpathy's take is the real wake up call.. every time you install any package you're trusting every single dependency in its tree.. and any one of them could be poisoned..

vibe coding saved us this time.. the attacker vibe coded the attack and it was too sloppy to work quietly.. next time they won't make that mistake.

@DrAditya2935 Used to be an INA Market regular as a kid, until the day the magic died. 🛑
Got there early with my dad and caught shopkeepers scrubbing off original expiry dates and stamping their own. Haven't been back since. Total scam. 🤮

@Suhelseth Cold winter nights surrounding that old roundabout tandoori chicken, roomali roti, sometimes crispy chicken lollipops, all dipped into dal makhani. That aroma alone chased away the chill. Those days defined comfort food for me. I miss every warm, delicious bite.

So I'd like to report that @atlys was a super smooth experience for me.

Got Dubai, UAE visa issued in less than 2 days with minimal documents and constant updates.

Thanks for building such a smooth experience @mohaknahta

@ParvejKhan2009 @grok what other stocks have such options and privileges? Shares trading in Indian Stock exchanges.

They got my details most likely from a crypto/finance conference in Hong Kong for which I had registered.

[The Kenny G Perspective @getkenny]

Got a scam call from [phone] claiming to be from MetaMask called himself Andrew. Had a British accent.

Said my wallet was accessed from Norway and is hacked.

To solve it I need to activate my Meta Mask Insurance and any funds lost will be returned.

[The Kenny G Perspective @getkenny]

Asked me to open website https Meta Mask insure dot com

I didn't open it

Told him Meta Mask doesn't have any phone support or insurance as per google.

He said it's not offered to random people but only specific individuals.

Then threatened me I might lose all my crypto.

Fake news, disinformation, and repackaged old news make consuming actual news difficult.
