If this is real, it could be one of the largest data breaches in China’s history. A hacker group claims it extracted over 10 petabytes of data from a state-run supercomputing facility, widely believed by experts to be the National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin. This center supports thousands of clients, including research institutes, aerospace programs, and defense-linked organizations. What’s reportedly in the data: - Documents marked “secret” in Chinese - Missile and bomb schematics - Aerospace and aviation research - Bioinformatics and fusion simulation data - Files linked to major state entities like AVIC and COMAC Cybersecurity experts who reviewed sample data say it matches what you would expect from such a facility, though the full breach is not independently verified. Even more concerning: - The attacker claims access lasted months without detection - Sample datasets were posted online via Telegram - Full access is reportedly being sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars in crypto At this stage, the scale and origin are still being verified. But if even partially true, it points to a serious vulnerability in infrastructure tied to China’s scientific and defense ecosystem. If a centralized system like this can be penetrated, what does that say about the security of the data it was processing? #China #Cybersecurity #CCP #DataBreach #Geopolitics #Tech cnn.com/2026/04/08/chi…




We're excited to announce our partnership with @Ereborbank! Banking services available through Brookwell are provided by Erebor Bank, NA, Member FDIC. We're grateful to work with a partner committed to building compliant, forward-looking financial infrastructure.

Why are we wasting time with a new stablecoin yield proposal? There is already a path to provide yield on Digtial Assets by becoming a bank (an insured depository institution, IDI) and having the required safety and soundness standards to take people's money and invest it to drive yield. Trust Banks shouldn't be able to offer yield on ANY asset. Please do not lower the standard from having to be an IDI to be able to provide yield on any assset. The current mark-up works for everyone except a few. If those "few" want to offer yield on digital assets like stablecoins they should apply for a Bank IDI license not ask the Senate to lower the standard to safeguard the American people's money. @SenatorTimScott @SenLummis @SenThomTillis @SenateGOP @SenateBanking @patrickjwitt








seems a crazy chart to me that no one talks about - Polygon's recent usage is entirely surged by Polymarket, who has claimed to leave the chain in the future... is this a pivotal moment for Polygon to figure out a deal with Polymarket? (🎙️interview coming with JW on @indexed_pod soon this week!)

🚨 CRITICAL: Active supply chain attack on axios -- one of npm's most depended-on packages. The latest axios@1.14.1 now pulls in plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, a package that did not exist before today. This is a live compromise. This is textbook supply chain installer malware. axios has 100M+ weekly downloads. Every npm install pulling the latest version is potentially compromised right now. Socket AI analysis confirms this is malware. plain-crypto-js is an obfuscated dropper/loader that: • Deobfuscates embedded payloads and operational strings at runtime • Dynamically loads fs, os, and execSync to evade static analysis • Executes decoded shell commands • Stages and copies payload files into OS temp and Windows ProgramData directories • Deletes and renames artifacts post-execution to destroy forensic evidence If you use axios, pin your version immediately and audit your lockfiles. Do not upgrade.
