A solo Bitcoin miner with a relatively small setup beat steep odds to earn about $210,000 worth of BTC rewards last week. Despite having only a tiny fraction of the network’s total hashrate, the miner secured the reward, highlighting the rare but recurring phenomenon of solo miner wins. Despite the highly competitive and commercialised nature of Bitcoin mining, little guys can still reap the rewards — as shown by the success of a tiny set-up that earned US$210,000 (AU$304k) worth of BTC for mining block 943,411 on April 3. The windfall went to a solo miner using the CKPool service,…

Anthropic registered AnthroPAC with the FEC on April 3, 2026, an employee-funded political action committee capped at $5,000 per contributor annually, to support candidates from both parties active on AI policy. The filing comes as Anthropic battles the Pentagon over a cancelled US$200 million contract after the Defence Department labelled the company a “supply chain risk” for restricting Claude’s use in autonomous weapons. AnthroPAC marks a step up from Anthropic’s US$20 million (AU$30.8 million) issue-advocacy donation in February 2026.

Attackers spent six months infiltrating Drift Protocol via conferences, Telegram, and fake integrations before compromising developer environments and using Solana’s durable nonce feature to pre-sign malicious transactions weeks in advance. The exploit drained the JLP Delta Neutral vault of approximately US$155 million and emptied two additional vaults in roughly 10 minutes. Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic attributed the attack to North Korean state actors, noting it was the 18th suspected DPRK-linked crypto operation of 2026. This is social engineering (and a true dedication to crime) taken to another level. Turns out Drift Protocol disclosed that its US$280 million (AU$406 million) April…
