Android Flaw Leaves 30 Million Crypto Wallets Open To Attack: Microsoft Analysts

Microsoft analysts revealed a critical security flaw in the EngageLab SDK (v4.5.4), leaving over 30 million Android crypto wallets vulnerable to attack. The "intent redirection" vulnerability allowed a malicious app to bypass Android's sandbox and gain read/write access to a wallet's private data, including seed phrases and keys, without any user interaction. A patch (SDK 5.2.1) was released in mid-2025. Users who haven't updated their apps since then are advised to not only update but also move their funds to new wallets with fresh seed phrases, as any unpatched wallet is considered compromised. The flaw also affected over 50 million apps in total.

Sam Altman Speaks Out After Molotov Cocktail Thrown at His Home: I Love My Family, and I Believe AI Belongs to Everyone

In the aftermath of a molotov cocktail attack on his home, Sam Altman shares a rare family photo, hoping to deter further violence. He reflects on the power of words and narratives, acknowledging the heightened anxiety surrounding AI. Altman outlines his core beliefs: AI is humanity's most powerful tool for empowerment and must be democratized; its development, while carrying legitimate risks, requires a broad societal response and new policies for a safe economic transition. He admits to personal and professional mistakes at OpenAI, including mishandling conflicts, but takes pride in upholding the mission against pressures like Elon Musk's demand for unilateral control. He attributes the "Shakespearean drama" in the AI industry to a "ring of power" dynamic—the dangerous allure of controlling AGI. The only solution, he argues, is to widely share the technology, ensuring democratic systems, not a few labs, retain control and that the democratic process remains more powerful than any company. He calls for de-escalating rhetoric to avoid further real-world harm.

Bitcoin Quantum-Proofing Push Could Open New Attack Risks, Mow Warns

Samson Mow, founder of Bitcoin firm Jan3, warns that a rushed transition to post-quantum cryptography could introduce new risks to Bitcoin rather than securing it. This comes in response to calls from Coinbase executives to act immediately against quantum computing threats. Mow argues that larger post-quantum signatures could increase transaction sizes by up to 125 times, leading to network congestion, compatibility issues, and reduced transaction capacity—potentially reigniting past conflicts similar to the "Blocksize Wars." While not dismissing quantum risks, Mow believes capable quantum computers are still over a decade away, and implementing a premature fix could create more vulnerabilities than it solves.

Drift Protocol halts operations after suspected $285m exploit as funds move across wallets

Drift Protocol has halted deposits and withdrawals after confirming an active attack, with initial estimated losses around $285 million. Blockchain security firm PeckShield reported the losses span multiple assets, including $71.4M in USDC and $159.3M in JLP, among others. The attacker has begun moving funds across wallets, likely to obscure transaction trails. Unverified reports suggest the exploit may have involved a compromised administrative key, allowing manipulation of protocol parameters, though this remains unconfirmed. The incident reflects a trend of sophisticated DeFi attacks targeting governance and internal controls. An investigation is ongoing with no timeline for restoring operations.

Google research flags quantum attack risk as Ethereum advances post-quantum roadmap

New research involving Google warns that quantum computers with approximately 1,200–1,450 logical qubits could break elliptic curve cryptography—including the secp256k1 standard used in Bitcoin and Ethereum—within minutes. The study highlights two primary risks: “on-spend” attacks, where a quantum system could derive a private key during the 9–12 minute transaction confirmation window, and “at-rest” attacks on dormant wallets with exposed public keys. In response, Ethereum has launched a multi-year post-quantum roadmap aimed at transitioning to quantum-resistant cryptographic system across its protocol layers. However, the shift introduces challenges such as larger signatures, higher computational demands, and the need for coordinated upgrades. User migration to new wallet standards and the vulnerability of older assets also remain significant hurdles. While quantum threats are not immediate, the research underscores the importance of proactive preparation to mitigate long-term risks. Industry leaders like Changpeng Zhao acknowledge that, although transition is feasible, decentralized coordination and potential forks could complicate the process.

Qubic Sets April 1 Start Date For Dogecoin Attack

Qubic has announced it will launch its Dogecoin mining initiative on April 1, 2026, as part of a broader strategy to integrate external proof-of-work into its decentralized compute network. The project aims to use Dogecoin ASIC mining to strengthen QUBIC tokenomics by selling mined DOGE to buy and burn QUBIC, making it deflationary. The effort also serves as a real-world stress test for Qubic’s Oracle Machines, which validate mining shares through a Byzantine fault-tolerant system. This follows Qubic’s earlier controversial campaign against Monero, which was later reassessed as a 34% attack rather than a 51% takeover. Unlike the Monero operation, Dogecoin mining will run concurrently with Qubic’s AI training workloads, without displacing them.

Turning 200,000 into Nearly 100 Million: DeFi Stablecoin Attacked Again

DeFi stablecoin protocol Resolv Labs was exploited, resulting in a hacker minting 80 million USR tokens using only 200,000 USDC. The attacker’s address (starting with 0x04A2) first created 50 million USR with 100,000 USDC, and later minted another 30 million with an additional 100,000 USDC. This caused USR to depeg, dropping to around $0.25 before partially recovering to approximately $0.80. The incident also impacted related lending markets on Morpho and Lista DAO, which paused new borrowing requests. Additionally, RLP token holders, including Stream Finance—which holds over 13 million RLP tokens—face significant exposure, with estimated losses around $17 million. Initial analysis by DeFi community YAM suggests the exploit occurred because the protocol’s SERVICE_ROLE, which provides minting parameters, was compromised. The system fully trusted this role’s input without on-chain verification or minting limits, allowing the attacker to manipulate the mint amount. The project’s emergency response was also slow, taking nearly three hours to pause the protocol due to multi-signature delays. This attack highlights critical vulnerabilities in off-chain role trust and emergency mechanisms within DeFi protocols.

China-Based Hacker Group Steals $7M in Crypto via Wallet Supply Chain Attacks

A Chinese hacker group operating under the name Wuhan Anshun Technology has been accused of stealing approximately $7 million in cryptocurrency through supply-chain attacks targeting users of wallets like Trust Wallet. The group used malicious browser extensions and compromised Electron-based apps to collect wallet information and transfer funds, primarily on Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Arbitrum. Details emerged after an internal member leaked information due to disputes over profit sharing, releasing evidence and expressing intent to surrender to authorities. While the case remains unconfirmed by officials, it highlights significant security risks in crypto software. Experts advise caution when updating or installing wallet-related tools.

Bitcoin Survives 68 Cable Failures With Near-Zero Price Impact, Study Finds

A new study from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance reveals that 87% of 68 undersea internet cable failures between 2014 and 2025 had minimal impact on the Bitcoin network, disrupting fewer than 5% of nodes. The price impact was negligible, with a statistically insignificant correlation coefficient of -0.02. The research indicates that a catastrophic 72-92% of global submarine cables would need to fail to knock over 10% of nodes offline. However, targeted attacks on high-traffic chokepoints could cause significant disruption with only 5-20% of cables cut. The widespread use of Tor, which obscures 64% of nodes, adds a layer of protection by complicating efforts to map and target the network.

Venus Protocol Detects $3.7M Supply Cap Attack on THE Pool

Venus Protocol detected a suspicious trading activity in its THE token liquidity pool on March 15. The incident, identified as a supply cap attack, occurred in two phases. First, the attacker accumulated approximately 84% of the total Thena token market capitalization. Then, they used these holdings as collateral to borrow other assets, including 6.67 million CAKE tokens, 1.58 million USDC, 2,801 BNB, and 20 Bitcoin, resulting in over $3.7 million in losses. Only the CAKE and THE pools were directly affected. In response, Venus halted all THE borrows and withdrawals, as well as those for other low-liquidity tokens. This attack represents a notable protocol-level exploit in DeFi for 2024.
