Been in several calls with @mellometrics lately to make sure everyone is better aligned moving forward.

BONKfun is back and here’s what happened 👇
On March 11, the BONKfun website was hijacked by a malicious actor via a social engineering targeting our domain service provider. This resulted in the domain being transferred to an external registrar.
The domain service provider has accepted responsibility for transfer, and we have confirmed this incident was not the result of any compromise of BONK or BONKfun internal systems, codebase, or team accounts.
Upon identifying the breach, we immediately took action to:
1) Disable the site
2) Coordinate with wallet providers to flag the domain as malicious
3) Contain further user impact
We’d like to thank @phantom, @solflare, @MetaMask, @_SEAL_Org and all other security partners that helped spread the word quickly.
We estimate the total customer losses at $30,000 and we will be reimbursing affected users at 110% of losses to account for opportunity cost.
As a result of this social engineering on the domain service provider, the BONKfun domain was transferred to an external registrar, and that transfer greatly inhibited our ability to move quickly with relaunching the site in a secure manner.
The domain and domain registration were fully transferred back around 5:00 pm Eastern time on 3/18. Full functionality with major wallet providers was restored late on 3/19, which has now enabled us to safely and securely relaunch the site.
The main BONKfun domain is still experiencing flags from several antivirus software providers, we are working to remove these flags as soon as possible.
For users experiencing issues with https://t.co/91GoLVnnOE due to anti-virus software, https://t.co/SKkVhvemch is also live now and contains the same functionality as the main site.
This is wild.
143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon. They were actually building one of the largest real-world visual datasets in AI history.
Niantic just disclosed that photos and AR scans collected through Pokémon Go have produced a dataset of over 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation AI for delivery robots.
Players didn't just walk around with their phones. They scanned landmarks, storefronts, parks, and sidewalks from every angle, at every time of day, in lighting and weather conditions that staged photography would never capture. They documented the physical world at a scale no mapping company with a fleet of vehicles could have replicated on the same timeline or budget.
Niantic collected this systematically, data point by data point, across eight years, while users thought the only thing at stake was catching a rare Charizard.
The most valuable AI training datasets in the world aren't being assembled in data centers. They're being built by people who have no idea they're building them.
