A poisoned release of LiteLLM turned a routine Python install into a crypto-aware secret stealer that searched for wallets, Solana validator material, and cloud credentials every time Python started.On Mar. 24, between 10:39 UTC and 16:00 UTC, an attacker who had gained access to a maintainer account published two malicious versions of LiteLLM to PyPI: 1.82.7 and 1.82.8.LiteLLM markets itself as a unified interface to more than 100 large language model providers, a position that places it inside credential-rich developer environments by design.

As quantum ‘Q-Day’ jumps to 2029, Ethereum faces a new fight over what to do with coins left in old wallets
The crypto industry has framed its quantum reckoning as a single catastrophic “Q-Day” moment when a sufficiently powerful machine arrives, old cryptographic keys shatter, and blockchain history unravels. This week, that moment may have been brought forward into this decade.The Ethereum Foundation’s Mar. 24 post-quantum (PQ) roadmap shows that the realistic quantum threat to Ethereum centers on forged signatures enabling theft and impersonation, and that selecting stronger cryptographic algorithms is the comparatively manageable layer of the problem.The coordination infrastructure underneath it is an order of magnitude harder.EF’s FAQ ranks the exposed surfaces in a specific order: user accounts (externally owned…
