ChainPatrol has blocked over 29,000 threats this year targeting Metamask and Consensys brands

This is all possible thanks to the tireless work by the security team at @MetaMask and our collaboration with @_SEAL_Org

[MetaMask 🦊 @MetaMask]

Crypto never sleeps. Neither do scammers. But the fox has got your back.

Phishing scams have been lurking since the dawn of crypto. Like most parasites, scammers continually evolve with new tactics as the ecosystem grows.

We’ve joined paws with @ChainPatrol to keep your web3 journey as secure as possible.

[Nikita Varabei @NikitaVarabei]

In Q2 we took down 19,077 scam pages on Dailymotion alone.

It used to be a manual process to scan videos.

Today, 90% of that has been automated so our team can spend more time staying ahead of novel threats.

When automation is done right it gives us space to solve harder problems

[Nikita Varabei @NikitaVarabei]

@hyojun_at Definitely need this, also would love to chat how we can add a layer of security from phishing for users and agents

LIGHTS IN DARK ROOMS. THE TRAILER IS LIVE 🎥

An investigative documentary that pulls back the curtain on the scam compound industry: the online fraud it runs on, the human trafficking that powers it, and the people taking action to shut it down.

LIGHTS IN DARK ROOMS. TRAILER DROPS IN 2 DAYS.

@MechelleBMoore, CEO of @GlobalAlmsInc, shared a wealth of knowledge from her experience combatting the harms of the scam compounds and showed us the reality up close. Her teams work continues to help recover and repatriate victims who were trafficked into Myanmar.

We made it onto a @ThePrimeagen YouTube video! Didn't see that coming 🤯

Glad to see Mini Shai-Hulud getting more attention.

[Rep. María Elvira Salazar @RepMariaSalazar]

The CLARITY Act just cleared a major hurdle in the Senate, bringing much-needed rules, certainty, and leadership to America’s digital asset future. 🇺🇸

And to celebrate that momentum, I want to highlight one of the most recognizable crypto brands growing from right here in Miami’s #FL27: Pudgy Penguins. 🐧

If this gets 5,000 likes, I’ll make my @pudgypenguins avatar my profile picture.

🚨 Mini Shai-Hulud (CVE-2026-45321) is a supply chain worm that has already compromised 170+ packages across npm and PyPI in hours: TanStack (42 pkgs / 84 versions), Mistral AI, UiPath, OpenSearch, Guardrails AI, DraftLab + others.

Attackers hijacked legitimate build pipelines by extracting GitHub OIDC tokens from Actions runners and poisoning GitHub Actions cache. This allowed them to publish malicious versions through the real CI/CD pipeline.

The payload steals GitHub, npm tokens, and cloud credentials. It also deploys a booby-trapped daemon with a dead-man’s switch that wipes your home directory if the stolen token is revoked.

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.

This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

Was rowing and claude coding at the same time.

My pace is about 1 response to 3 sessions / 500m

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

I came back to code because AI made it possible for me to build at a level I couldn't before.

I'm not coding despite being CEO of YC. I'm coding because this is the most important technological shift since the internet and I'd be an idiot to experience it from the bleachers.

I'm 45, running the most important startup institution in the world, and I can ship production software at 2am. That's not a distraction from the job.

That is the job understood correctly.

A deeply moving and powerful night at @EthCC for the first screening of Lights in Dark Rooms. This documentary explores the global security issue of scam compounds in Southeast Asia and human trafficking.

- @dobsec, security researcher and collaborator.

Special thanks to @immunefi for sponsoring this screening and supporting this critical cause.

[ChainPatrol @ChainPatrol]

During our @EthCC Livestream, on the top floor of Palais des Festivals, we stumbled on a beautiful connection forming... something that makes building in Crypto really Special.

@griffgreen spends time after his talk to inspire the next generation of builders, to Dream Big!
