OpenAI disclosed further incidents involving Australian government-linked systems, including NSW bushfire data and other public-sector platforms. The company says it is spending more than US$500,000 a day reviewing around 50 petabytes of records for unintended model activity. OpenAI expects additional cases to emerge and says affected organisations will be notified when potential vulnerabilities are identified. OpenAI and Anthropic representatives are scheduled to appear before the Joint Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence on 6 October. Apparently, the breach of the Medicare Statistics Reporting Service portal back in June wasn’t the only incident of its kind. On Friday, another breach was publicly…
China’s Ministry of State Security linked crypto to money laundering, cyberattacks and espionage in an article published on 28 September. The ministry said foreign intelligence agencies send spy funds in crypto and tell recruits it is hard to trace, a claim it rejected because every transaction stays on a public ledger. The warning follows a February notice from the People’s Bank of China and seven other agencies that reaffirmed the crypto ban and extended it to tokenised real-world assets. China’s Ministry of State Security warned that crypto has become a tool for money launderers, ransomware gangs and foreign spies. The…
Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton will lead the task force with FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, OPM Director Scott Kupor and Pentagon technology chief Emil Michael. Clayton told The Wall Street Journal the group has 120 days to report on the technology’s risks and opportunities. Clayton, who chaired the SEC when it sued Ripple in 2020, takes over the AI brief David Sacks held alongside crypto until March. President Donald Trump on Sunday named Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton to lead a new federal task force he calls the Super Intelligence Force. Trump said on Truth Social that the…
Illinois officials have joined crypto industry groups in seeking a six-month delay to the state’s controversial digital-asset tax.The agreed motion, filed Oct. 1 in Sangamon County, asks a judge to postpone the levy’s Jan. 1 start until July 1, 2027, while a constitutional challenge brought by The Digital Chamber and the Illinois Blockchain Association proceeds.Revenue Director David Harris and Attorney General Kwame Raoul joined the request even as the state continues to dispute the industry groups’ claims against the law. If granted, the injunction would temporarily spare brokers from collecting the tax and defer corresponding liabilities for covered customers.The court…
El Salvador secured access to $138 million from the IMF while recommitting to limits on further state Bitcoin accumulation.The International Monetary Fund (IMF) completed the second and third reviews of the country’s $1.4 billion loan program on Oct. 1, allowing an immediate disbursement equivalent to SDR 101.96 million, or $138 million. The board also granted waivers for unmet performance criteria tied to Bitcoin accumulation after authorities took corrective measures and renewed their commitments.Those waivers keep financing flowing despite earlier breaches, while leaving the program’s direction on Bitcoin unchanged. The IMF said no further accumulation is envisaged beyond documented donations, preserving…
India’s crypto users send substantial value to centralized exchanges, but domestic platforms receive just 0.7% of exchange value in Chainalysis’s new regional report. Its Brazil chapter puts Brazil-based exchanges at 12.5% of inflows.The contrast separates two business questions that adoption figures can blur: how much activity is associated with a country, and how much its domestic platforms capture. India’s transaction withholding can reduce the cash available for another trade. Its role in venue choice remains an operator explanation, rather than a measured cause of the split.The findings appeared in Chainalysis’s CSAO chapter on Sept. 30 and Latin America chapter on…
Coin Metrics has rebuilt Ethereum’s historical Standard Flow Metrics, raising a timing problem for tests that treat exchange outflows as a trading signal.The crypto data provider’s Oct. 1 notice says it recomputed Ethereum Standard Flow Metrics from the network’s first block using its most up-to-date information as part of its Ethereum Point-in-Time release. The affected scope is all ETH Flow Metrics at daily and hourly frequencies, with corrected history available for backfilling.That creates a practical distinction for investment research. A chart downloaded today can describe past flows using knowledge acquired later. A backtest, which replays a trading rule through historical…
Bitcoin’s recovery above $85,000 faces a demand test after a sharp fall in bets on another Federal Reserve rate hike. A new post-payroll study places the strongest burst of forced buying before Friday’s jobs report, while Bitcoin retreated after the release.Bitcoin was $85,276 around press time, up 0.83% over 24 hours. The Sunday price remained below the $86,000 area reached before payrolls.For holders tracking Bitcoin’s recovery, the gap raises a practical question: who will sustain the recovery after the initial short squeeze? Thursday’s ETF inflows provided a buying signal, but incomplete Friday figures leave the industry’s response to payrolls unresolved…
Bitcoin Core has added a safeguard against signing transactions that may not bind funds to the payment destination a user approved.The change, merged into Bitcoin Core’s master development branch on Sept. 25, targets a narrow flaw in partially signed Bitcoin transactions, or PSBTs, that could produce a valid signature without protecting the intended output.Bitcoin Optech highlighted the update on Oct. 2. The issue does not expose a user’s private key, but creates a different risk: a signature can remain valid even when the transaction’s recipient is changed under specific conditions.The weakness involves SIGHASH_SINGLEwhich is a signing mode designed to commit…
US government debt is one of the easiest assets in the world to borrow against, which lets financial companies get cash without giving up their investments for good.Washington is rewriting the rules for that borrowing, and the result will reach crypto through the companies that keep Treasury securities behind their dollar tokens.The SEC wants more Treasury transactions to pass through a central clearinghouse, an institution that becomes the buyer to each seller and the seller to each buyer.If one trading company fails, the other side can look to the clearinghouse to complete the covered trade, under its rules, instead of…
