Remember the Discord breach exposing users’ ID photos? That is the risk when platforms are pushed towards large-scale age checks. The Online Safety Act means more sensitive data collected, stored, and in some cases: exposed.

@FrankvanBerge @_basjacobs Dat is nog steeds de rekening naar de toekomst verleggen. We zouden massaal in België moeten tanken op kosten dus van de Belgische overheid ;) ( dit laat precies het probleem zien, je kan de markt niet dwingen, de prijs moet linksom of rechtsom worden betaald )

@_basjacobs De overheid kan we lagere accijns op brandstoffen heffen, zoals alle landen om ons heen bewijzen. Landen met vaak een hoger begrotingstekort en een veel hogere staatsschuld dan Nederland.

The Project Eleven reminds me of the Quantum simulator scam Vitalik was selling before Ethereum. "Be scared, it's a huge threat. And buy my theoretical services to mitigate the theoretical risk in a theoretical future."

Silent payments is not just a new approach to static payment codes. It's the first serious contender to improve the address derivation system since HD wallets in 2013. HD wallets were a big win over single keys, and silent payments could be a similar leap forward.

You literally can't make this up. What a coincidence that the guy who made the post with 6 million views talking about the quantum threat to Bitcoin is revealed to be the leading angel in a Bitcoin "quantum risk mitigation" project. Stay vigilant, Bitcoiners.

Who would have thought

@jsblokland Tijd voor vrije pensioen keuze, wel verplichtingen maar zelf kunnen kiezen wie het voor je beheert in plaats van koppeling met werkgever.

Lekker bezig, APG! In 2025 realiseerden aandelen een rendement van 6,7% in euro’s en zelfs obligaties noteerden een, weliswaar klein, plusje. APG: -1,6%. In 2024 realiseerden aandelen een rendement van boven de 20% en kwam ook het obligatierendement, wederom maar net aan en zonder inflatie, boven nul uit. Zelfs met die achterhaalde 60/40-portefeuille had je tussen de 10 en 15% kunnen uitkomen. APG: 8,9%. Je zou er maar verplicht aan moeten deelnemen.

Intel SGX has fallen! Its most important key is in our hands: we extracted the Global Wrapping Key from an instance of the Intel Gemini Lake platform

@UID_ Among devs there seems to be this consensus, communication to the others just seems lacking. There is research just not a lot and most of them agree there should be a clear upgrade path before enough qubits are a reality. Though the impact is very small (P2PK, key reuse )

Yes. And this statement is still valid. I don't get the whole discussion. Upgrade and freeze coins. Or don't upgrade and let coins get stolen.

Hackers compromise Axios npm package to drop cross-platform malware bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/… bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/…

The Bitcoin community must prepare for the biggest astroturfing campaign we have ever seen. It's clear that quantum will be the major attack vector against Bitcoin for the next few years until a conclusive solution is found. Most of the FUD will be completely unfounded and intended to separate you from your coins. Do not underestimate the vested interest in pushing this narrative far beyond what is necessary because they stand to benefit enormously. Think quantum VC funds and shitcoins trying to promote themselves as "quantum resistant" alternatives. And the attention seekers. Never forget about them. While it is clear that the Bitcoin network needs to become quantum resistant, please understand that some of the smartest developers in the world are working on this and have been for years. Most of the discussion does not happen in public but believe it is a priority and of upmost importance. Bitcoin will be fine.

do you understand what just happened to one of the most used npm packages on the internet? → axios gets downloaded over 100 million times a week and today it got compromised → an attacker hijacked the npm credentials of a lead axios maintainer… changed the account email to an anonymous ProtonMail address… and manually published two poisoned versions → axios@1.14.1 and axios@0.30.4… neither version contains a single line of malicious code inside axios itself. instead they inject a fake dependency called plain-crypto-js that drops a remote access trojan on your machine → the fake dependency was staged 18 hours in advance… three separate payloads were pre-built for macOS, Windows, and Linux… both release branches were hit within 39 minutes. every trace was designed to self-destruct after execution too → there’s no tag in the axios GitHub repo for 1.14.1. it was published outside the normal release process entirely... bypassed CI/CD completely → StepSecurity called it one of the most operationally sophisticated supply chain attacks ever against a top 10 npm package → a routine npm install silently opens a backdoor… no warning… no suspicious code visible in axios itself this is the wake up call all vibe coding bros need to hear right now: → if you installed either version… assume your system is compromised → pin to axios@1.14.0 or axios@0.30.3 → rotate all secrets, API keys, SSH keys, and credentials on affected machines → check network logs for C2 connections → add –ignore-scripts to CI npm installs going forward 100 million weekly downloads and one compromised maintainer account… that’s all it took to wreak absolute havoc and I imagine we see a whole lot more of these… crazy times ahead for cybersecurity and vibe coding be safe out there y’all

Going from ~1,000 noisy qubits to 500k fault-tolerant ones by 2029 isn’t just a "roadmap",… it’s a **physical miracle** or a massive bluff.

@DelcinMaria Ye or any other node relaying... If it's consensus valid there will always be someone relaying

When nodes filter out spam, scammers are compelled to send it directly to miners. They lose their anonymity in the process. Filters up KNOTS + BIP110 + DATUM for max Bitcoin decentralisation.

🚨 MASSIVE CYBERATTACK: The EU Commission, ENISA, and the DG for Digital Services have been compromised by threat actor ShinyHunters. Leaked data includes: ▪️ Emails & attachments ▪️ Full SSO user directory ▪️ DKIM signing keys ▪️ AWS config snapshots ▪️ NextCloud/Athena data ▪️ Internal admin URLs It's a mess!

@bgroothuis Ik zie dat u ‘voor’ de eindstemming voor het voorstel heeft gestemd en dus voor verlenging van scanning van berichten. Dus hoezo spin ? U heeft inderdaad keurig netjes voor bescherming van E2EE gestemt maar weer tegen targeted scanning...

Ik heb niet ‘voor’ gestemd, dat is een spin. Heb gestemd om E2EE in stand te houden (am 30 uit mijn hoofd), alsmede server side scanning naar bestaand KP materiaal. Uiteindelijk was de vraag of bestaande praktijk van server side scanning kon worden voortgezet en daar heb ik + op gestemd

Brazil's authoritarian age verification law became active this month. It won't be implemented by GrapheneOS. Complying would require integrating a mandatory process for each user where a third party service checks government identification and confirms a match using the camera.
