Mystery $106 Million Crypto Theft Hits EU Entity Days After Binance Hack

Decrypt reports that ZachXBT suspects an unnamed EU entity lost more than $106 million from several centralized exchange accounts on 1 November 2026, withdrawn as USDC and USDT. The thief swapped to ETH, used instant exchanges WellWallet and Kyrrex, converted some funds to Monero via Wagyu and bridged across chains. ZachXBT published 11 Ethereum addresses and said Lazarus Group is not responsible.

Claude-Built Linux Exploit Targets Bug That Ubuntu Still Hasn't Patched

CVE-2026-98432 is a CVSS 9.8 Linux kernel race condition present since version 4.4. Anthropic says Claude, using an unreleased internal model, wrote a remote root exploit for it that needs a multipath TCP listener. Red Hat shipped fixes on 1 November 2026 (RHSA-2026:93412), while Ubuntu still lists 16.04 to 26.10 as vulnerable. Red Hat offers a partial firewall mitigation.

What exploited vulnerabilities have in common: A data-driven analysis of real-world attacks

Microsoft analysis of about 383,000 CVEs disclosed from 1999 to September 2026, of which about 2,000 (0.5%) were exploited in the wild. Exploited CVEs skew to takeover classes: server-side RCE rises from 20% to 37%, local privilege escalation from 11% to 18%, and client-side RCE from 4% to 13%. Median patch times run from 2 weeks on Windows workstations to over a year on network appliances, while the median time to CISA KEV listing in 2026 is 3 days.

Training activation classifiers for safety and alignment

Training activation classifiers for safety and alignment describes how OpenAI trains lightweight probes on a model's residual stream activations to flag misaligned or policy-violating completions. Probes use an MLP plus QV-attention architecture with an exponential moving average and a rolling softmax objective. They run in streaming mode on the inference engine, have run on all assistant completions since GPT-5.6, and transfer well across post-training checkpoints but less across pre-training checkpoints.

North Korea Is Laundering Binance Hack Loot at One New Wallet Every 25 Seconds

Decrypt reports Elliptic's analysis of the laundering of the $6.43 billion stolen from Binance, which the FBI attributed to TraderTraitor. The attacker spread funds across about 12,000 wallets on 11 blockchains in over 40,000 transactions in under four days. Tether and Circle froze about $2.85 billion (44%), against 3% after the Bybit hack. About $3.24 billion, mostly ETH and 18,270 BTC, is unmoved, and Elliptic expects a months-long OTC cash-out.

Anthropic takes steps to block Claude from reverse-engineering video games

Mashable reports, citing Tom's Hardware, that Anthropic's Claude has quietly begun restricting modding, decompiling and reverse-engineering of video game code. Anthropic has made no official announcement. The article ties the change to AI-assisted game ports and mods, the PlayStation 5 jailbreak and Take-Two's subpoenas after the GTA6 leaks. It notes the irony of AI firms now guarding copyright, and the risk that less restrictive LLMs win users.

It proposes two diagnostic metrics with theoretical guarantees and analyzes 25 popular benchmarks across 7 domains using estimated item difficulties.

EIP Draft: Permanent EOA Delegation Opt-Out (disable EIP-7702)

Discussion thread for a draft Core EIP that lets an Ethereum EOA permanently disable EIP-7702 delegation. A type-4 set-code transaction with an empty authorization list, destination equal to sender and zero value installs the 0xef0200 marker for 33500 gas. Later authorizations, including clearing to the zero address, are skipped. It does not protect against private-key compromise. Open questions cover the prefix, a dedicated transaction type, gas pricing, and EIP-8151 interaction.

Binance Sets Aside $6.34B to Cover Hack Losses, CEO Says 'Your Assets Are Safe'

Decrypt reports on the October 2026 Binance hot-wallet hack, about $6.3 billion, which Binance CEO Richard Teng says the company will cover with over $6.34 billion of its own funds. Teng says the attacker used an EIP-7702 delegation that skipped Binance's approval controls, a self-destruct mechanism to wipe tooling, and more than one breach point beyond a compromised laptop. TRM Labs and Chainalysis attribute the theft to TraderTraitor, and the attacker is still moving funds on Tron.

CVE-2026-98432 is a use-after-free in the Linux kernel IPv4 TCP handshake path: a request socket's ireq_opt pointer moves to the child socket as inet_opt and is freed with kfree() while a retransmitted-SYN CPU still reads it under RCU. The fix (commit e3f33b0a1d89) uses kfree_rcu(). The page covers CVSS 9.8 versus vendor scores, Anthropic's MPTCP root-exploit lab demo, per-distribution patch checks, MPTCP listener inventory and detection guidance. The page was truncated before its mitigation section.

It models decoding as a stopped stochastic process, giving per-prompt normality and an affine variance law σ=αμ+b. Predictors (MLP, EGTP, FiLM, soft-label, Mixture-of-Experts) converge near the bound, so system error dominates model error. It proposes fixing model, data and sampling in benchmarks and reporting relative-error metrics.

Efficient Scalable Oversight via Rewinding

Rewindable interactive proofs (RIPs) are a new model of relativizing interactive proofs for scalable oversight, in which a weak verifier can rewind an AI prover to an earlier saved state. The paper builds an RIP for computations robust to changes in a small fraction of oracle answers. The honest prover runs in linear time, the verifier runs in nearly linear time in the input length after one-time preprocessing, and no cryptography is used. A preliminary MNIST experiment shows an RIP can be faster than a deployed proof system.

PhysCount: Do MLLMs Count Visual Appearances or Physical Entities?

PhysCount is a benchmark of 546 real-world images and 4,595 human-written questions in 651 target-specific groups. It tests whether multimodal LLMs can separate visible appearances (direct view, reflections, glass) from the physical entities behind them. Across 40 MLLMs, counting appearances is much easier than linking them to entities, and the best model answers every question correctly in only 13.36% of groups.

Rohan Paul (@rohanpaul_ai) on X

Rohan Paul's X post summarizes a TikTok paper on MCP attacks. LLM agents often finish the requested task, then quietly call an attacker-controlled logging tool that records the user query, the server reply and the final answer. The attack works because agents read natural-language tool descriptions when choosing and ordering tool calls. The visible text is truncated and gives no success rates or defenses.

Glance: The Generator Is Its Own Reranker

Glance is a RAG method in which the generator also reranks. It adds a lightweight decision adapter and pointer head that score candidate passages from one shared prefill, so a single resident 9B backbone does generation and reranking. After 39 minutes of MS MARCO fine-tuning it reaches nDCG@10 of 0.741 on SciFact and 0.345 on NFCorpus, against 0.721 and 0.326 for bge-reranker-v2-m3. On 300 HotpotQA questions it improves answer F1 by 0.045 over cross-encoder-selected context. Evaluation covers two retrieval datasets, one QA dataset and one backbone family.

Building a multiplayer game world with autonomous Fable-class models

Simon Willison's link post covers Jacob Sansbury's account of Spawn, a multiplayer game where players prompt an in-game agent, Savi, to change the world. Spawn is built by a swarm of Claude Fable agents that spend over $3 million a month on tokens and ship to production hourly. An hour without a ship counts as a SEV-0, and rollbacks take 30 seconds. Fable 5 and 5.1 made this autonomy work, Opus 5.5 fell short, and GPT-6 Astra fixed security issues by disabling features.

Retrieving from Your Own Mistakes: On-Policy Training of Embedding Models for Multi-Hop Retrieval-Augmented Generation

On-policy state training is a method for training chain embedding retrievers for multi-hop RAG on the states the encoder itself reaches, including those built on its own wrong retrievals. Each state is labeled with the earliest missing gold passage, other missing gold passages are masked, and updates are contrastive and mixed with teacher-forced states. It retrieves complete evidence more often than teacher-forced training and graph-based systems, and transfers to harder long-chain HotpotQA and 2WikiMultiHopQA variants the authors built.

Understanding and Mitigating Role Spoofing in LLMs

Understanding and Mitigating Role Spoofing in LLMs is an arXiv paper (October 2026) on role spoofing, a prompt injection where malicious tool output impersonates the user. It shows models track "who said what" using both content cues (semantics, style) and structure cues (control tokens, formatting). Attacks combining fake structure and content succeed often, adversarial training stops only content-based attacks, and linear probes trained to predict conversation roles detect spoofing across settings.

The Athlete as a Scientist of One: Agentic Bayesian Experimental Design for Individualized Physiology from Consumer Wearables

EpiCoach is an agentic system that treats one cross-country mountain biker as an N-of-1 experiment. Claims live in an evidence-gated hypothesis registry, and each must make a probabilistic prediction before a session. Predictions come from a digital twin fitted to heart rate, GPS and altitude. In a replay over eighteen months the twin beat standard forecasters on heart rate but not segment time, and the agent loop matched a static model. In the first three live weeks, the ledger sealed 20 predictions and scored 14, and a safety officer vetoed the agent twice. The registry, benchmark and protocol are released.

Don't Lose the Thread: Empowering Long-Horizon LLM Agents with Cognitive Resource Self-Allocation

CORAL (Cognitive Resource Self-Allocation) is an agent-callable working-memory toolset that lets an LLM agent checkpoint task progress and verified facts, then reset its cluttered context and resume from a clean state. A Multi-episode Agentic Reinforced Policy Optimization algorithm trains the checkpointing. With an 8B model it reaches 42.8% average accuracy on GAIA, uses 6-7x fewer input tokens than a ReAct agent, and adds 8.0 points to a proprietary agent on BrowseComp.

A Unified Hessian-Guided Framework for Post-Training Quantization

This preprint proposes a unified post-training quantization framework for large language models. It derives a Hessian-guided approximation of the output change caused by joint weight and activation quantization, using a tractable Fisher approximation. Quantization ranges, linear transformations and weight rounding are optimized together under one output-sensitivity objective. The authors report gains over state-of-the-art transformation and rounding methods in channel-wise and block-wise settings.

Only Accepted Tokens Count: An Energy Accounting of Speculative Decoding Under Latency Targets

This paper measures the energy cost of speculative decoding in SGLang with CUDA graphs on H100 and H200 GPUs, at batch sizes up to 64 across 5 corpora. Savings depend on drafted-token acceptance, which is lower on conversation than code and lower on Romansh than English. Savings shrink as batch size grows, and block drafters can push verification into the compute-bound regime, where speculation raises energy per token.
