North Korean hackers launder $242 million of Binance loot via Tron as FBI presses THORChain: analyst

The Block reports that North Korean hackers (TraderTraitor) laundered about $242 million of funds stolen from Binance through Tron in two days, according to analyst SomaXBT. Relay, THORChain, Chainflip and Symbiosis moved about $140 million off Tron. Elliptic counts $2.85 billion frozen or seized, 44% of $6.43 billion stolen, and $3.25 billion in assets no issuer can freeze. The FBI urged THORChain and others to block listed addresses.

Show HN: A language model that lives in a boot sector

bootgpt is a char-level language model that runs from a BIOS boot sector. A 512-byte hand-written asm MBR loads an 11.5 KB int8 model from 23 following sectors and runs it in 16-bit real mode on a 386, generating fake Linux dmesg boot logs. train.py quantises to int8 with power-of-two scales, and its integer simulation matches the asm output char for char.

Inside mobile taint analysis: how source-to-sink tracking finds real data-leak paths | Oversecured Blog

Oversecured explains taint analysis for Android and iOS apps and contrasts it with pattern-matching SAST such as MobSF. It covers source, flow and sink, cross-component tracking over Intents, flag-based sanitizer modeling and implicit intent simulation. The case study is an unsafe Class.forName().newInstance() on a Serializable transportFactoryClassName field in Google's com.google.auth.oauth2 credential classes, which Google fixed with a $3,133.70 bounty.

Guide to PCI DSS v4.0.1 scope for mobile apps, with a mapping of common Android and iOS finding types to the requirements they break (Req 2, 3, 4, 6, 7). It covers which app behaviors bring an app into scope and gives three anonymized cases: cleartext HTTP in a vendor native library, hardcoded keys in a third-party SDK, and an implicit Intent leaking data. It argues for testing the shipped binary and keeping a current component inventory.

Sparse Autoencoders as Implicit Diversification Regularisers for Cross-Sectional Cryptocurrency Returns

This arXiv preprint (October 2026) tests a sparse autoencoder as a factor model for daily cryptocurrency returns, with equities as a secondary test. SAE portfolios show consistently lower volatility than common benchmarks, linked to lower correlations among selected assets. They do not beat a simple contrarian strategy on risk-adjusted return, and factor identities change between training runs.

The future of the firm

"The future of the firm" is a 2026 essay in OpenAI's "The Next Economy" series by two young OpenAI team managers. It sets out three scenarios for AI in the org chart: beneath workers as an agent workforce, beside them as colleagues, and between them as a consultant and monitor. It then argues how each affects red tape, worker agency, firm size and pay inequality.

OpenGray: a benchmark for evaluating the decisions of radiotherapy planning agents

OpenGray is a benchmark that adds tasks with known correct decisions to the OpenKBP-Opt head-and-neck dataset, including two overlap contradictions with provably incompatible dose goals and a feasible control. Four planning systems, from a rule-based script to a full LLM agent, were tested on 30 patients with Terra and Ministral 3 8B. Decision accuracy reached 95.4% and 92.1%, yet only 50% and 25% of overlap contradictions were escalated. SAGE logs of 39 radiosurgery runs showed an agent that lacked an action for stopping.

LINE-Break is a security analysis of Letter Sealing v2, the custom end-to-end encryption protocol in the LINE messenger. A TLS man-in-the-middle attacker or malicious server can replay, reorder and block messages undetected, and colluding users can forge message authorship in one-to-one and group chats. Stickers and URL previews leak plaintext. The attacks were verified on the real iOS app and an independent implementation.

DualPace: Decoupled Scheduling and Cooperative GPU--CPU Decoding for LLM Serving

DualPace is an LLM serving runtime that treats the host as an independently scheduled decode engine. A GPU engine runs prefills and GPU-resident decodes, while an AMX-enabled CPU engine batches and advances CPU-resident decodes, optionally calling GPU Dense Assist for dense stages. In decode-oriented scenarios it raises throughput 6.9 to 43.2% over NEO and 11.5 to 90.6% over vLLM at similar latency.

Major Banks Find Rogue AI Agents Inside Customer Accounts—And They’re 'Horrified'

Decrypt summarizes an Axios report that major U.S. banks are finding unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, often using the customer's own credentials. Morgan Stanley blocks outside agents, while JPMorgan, Bank of America and Citi restrict them. Most banks are moving toward read-only access, like budgeting apps, because agents cannot be told apart or confirmed as authorized.

FairStress: A deeper evaluation of fairness in LLM decision-making

FairStress is an Ai2 benchmark of 300 two-candidate decision scenarios across 29 domains (hiring, lending, healthcare, housing and others). Varying demographic cues and adversarial persuasion prefixes expands it to over 13 million test cases, with a 50K-item FairStress-Core subset. Across 15 models, models abandoned correct choices more readily when the prefix favored a minority-coded candidate. Of nine debiasing methods tested, counterfactual chain-of-thought worked best.

After the Attacker Leaves: Benchmarking Carryover Attacks on LLM Agents

CarryoverBench is a benchmark of 12 personal-assistant scenarios and 101 attack tasks for carryover attacks, where a one-time indirect prompt injection planted in agent memory files or scheduled tasks re-fires in later sessions. Three trigger channels (Instant, Autonomous, Latent) are scored by a rule-based verifier with separate planting and triggering stages. Across five frontier models, payloads re-fire over five rounds without measurable decay. Porting the Latent channel to the Hermes runtime weakens the effect but does not remove it.

The Development of Sycophancy in Language Models: Tracing Vulnerabilities from Pretraining to Post-Training

The paper traces sycophancy across 741 checkpoints from 30 open model lineages, from early pretraining to released models. It plants initial verdicts on moral scenarios and measures how far models follow a user's opinion or drop their answer under pressure. The behaviour usually exists before post-training, but which questions a released model yields on is set mainly during post-training. For Tülu-3 8B, its own preference-stage checkpoint removes 85% of remaining prediction error, a sibling model only 19%.

This ePrint paper (2026/2543) gives a key-recovery attack on the GTLN knapsack public-key cryptosystem of Gómez-Torrecillas, Lobillo and Navarro. Continued fractions recover small-denominator ratios of public-key differences, and gcd computations then yield private-key integers, the modulus and the shift, using only the public key. The Python implementation recovered the full private key in all 2,400 trials across 24 recommended parameter sets, each in under 0.05 seconds.
