The X (formerly Twitter) account for DeFi protocol Compound Finance has been hacked and is now promoting a fake phishing site, according to security-related X accounts Scam Sniffer and Officer's Notes. 
At 4:57 p.m. UTC, the account posted an advertisement for "free $COMP tokens," urging readers to click a link provided. The link leads to compound-labs.xyz, a website that looks identical to the protocol's official website at compound.finance, but has been identified as a scam site.

Cybersecurity blogger Officer's Notes posted an alert from their account at 5:14 UTC, urging readers to not click on any links in the post.
FYI the @compoundfinance twitter is compromised and posting a scam link!

According to Scam Sniffer's post, the fake phishing site that is being advertised by the hacker is a "Pink Drainer scam website," implying that it is a phishing site that uses the Pink Drainer software to steal users' crypto. The post also states that blockchain investigator ZachXBT has traced funds that have been stolen by the site. The stolen funds have been laundered through the eXch exchange.
This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.

The Pioneer of AI Boomerang Job-Hopping: No Ph.D., Fought Over by Top AI Labs in Silicon Valley

"AI's Boomerang Hire: The Unconventional Career of Barret Zoph Who is known as the first practitioner of 'boomerang hiring' in AI? Barret Zoph, now a Research VP at Google DeepMind, has an unconventional resume: former Senior Research Scientist at Google Brain, former VP of Post-Training Research at OpenAI, former co-founder/CTO of Thinking Machines Lab, former OpenAI Codex commercialization lead—all without a PhD. Zoph's career began at Google Brain in 2016 after his USC bachelor's degree. He co-authored the seminal "Neural Architecture Search with Reinforcement Learning," helping pioneer the NAS field. His later work included co-authoring the Switch Transformer, a key model for trillion-parameter scale training. He joined OpenAI in 2022, rising to VP focusing on reinforcement learning for post-training—a crucial step in aligning models like ChatGPT. USC later listed him among alumni who "paved the path for ChatGPT." In 2025, he co-founded Thinking Machines Lab with ex-OpenAI CTO Mira Murati but left under controversial circumstances less than a year later, returning briefly to OpenAI before his final move back to Google in 2026. His hiring coincides with significant talent churn at Google DeepMind. Data shows DeepMind's senior talent inflow/outflow ratio has sharply declined from 12:1 in 2023 to 2:1 in 2026, meaning for every two hires, one leaves—a stark contrast to Anthropic (22:1) and OpenAI (5.7:1). Key departures include founders and Nobel laureates moving to rivals. This fluid, sports-like transfer market for elite AI researchers is driven not just by pay but by competitive positioning, pre-IPO equity at startups, and concerns over shifting research priorities at large firms like Google as they focus more on commercial products like Gemini."

Bitcoin Stabilizes at $80,000, How Do Institutions and Smart Money View the Future Market?

Bitcoin has consolidated around the $80,000 level following a record-breaking weekly dollar gain, pushing the price up 23.5% from August 17-23. Market focus is now on whether it can decisively overcome a significant resistance cluster between $81,000 and $86,000. This zone represents a critical supply wall, containing nearly 8% of the circulating supply and the average cost basis for major US spot Bitcoin ETFs. Analysis from Glassnode indicates the recent rally was fueled by substantial spot buying, evidenced by ETF inflows and declining exchange balances, rather than excessive leverage. Futures open interest has decreased, with cash/stablecoin margins dominating. While US ETF flows remain a key bullish driver, the market faces a crucial test. A successful break above the $81k-$82k resistance and the 50-week moving average (approx. $81,081) could signal a broader trend reversal. Failure may lead to a retracement toward the $75,000 support level. Institutional views are mixed but generally cautious. CryptoQuant highlights potential seasonal weakness in September, while CoinShares sees a likely trading range, requiring weaker jobs data for a sustained push toward $100k. K33 Research draws parallels to past cycle starts, and Bitwise suggests the bottoming process is advanced. Overall, the market is at a pivotal point, with the battle around $80k determining the near-term direction.
