  1. Polymarket Returns $3.9 Million to Traders as DebugBear Cites DNS Hijack

    Polymarket is returning $3.9 million to traders after an October 29, 2026 supply chain attack in which malicious JavaScript was served from a DebugBear address its site loaded. DebugBear says its DNS records were compromised through its domain registrar, and attackers appear to have targeted one customer. The script abused open trading sessions to sell positions or move assets; 726 wallets were affected, and about 5,500 wallets received $1.19 million for halt and forced-sale losses.

  2. 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.

  3. $2 Million+ Drained From Polymarket Traders in New Supply Chain Attack

    Polymarket halted trading on 29 October after users reported unauthorized withdrawals traced to malicious JavaScript served from DebugBear's real user monitoring snippet. Hudson Rock's sample abused the authenticated session to sell positions or send tokens to a hard-coded address, without exfiltrating credentials. Loss estimates range from $2.19 million to $2.71 million (GoPlus), and Polymarket pledged reimbursement.

  4. Meta’s AI-distilled model detector catches 79% at a 0.1% false-positive rate

    WM-Basin is a Meta method for detecting student LLMs distilled from watermarked teacher models, described in "Watermark Basins: Black-Box Detection of Distilled LLMs" (arXiv:2610.37266, 27 October 2026). It feeds a suspect model's API text into a clean probe model and checks gradient alignment with a key-specific watermark basin. It reached 79% true-positive rate at 0.1% false-positive rate across 1,200 students, versus 29% for the prior token-level detector. Clean-data fine-tuning and paraphrasing weaken it.

    TextSeal2 is a distortion-free LLM text watermark that merges two or more keys into one virtual key and couples it to fresh noise through AutoMark's Gaussian copula. Under speculative decoding it verifies keyed drafts with an extra exponential race, so output matches the target model and acceptance rate is unchanged. On three LLMs at a 10^-3 false-positive rate, it detects 8 to 22 points more 100-token answers than TextSeal.

    M-PFT is an angular-margin method for prompt tuning of vision-language models that fixes base-to-novel dual miscalibration (underconfidence on base classes, overconfidence on novel classes). It adds two losses: minimizing the maximum cosine similarity between tunable class embeddings, and minimizing angular distance to each zero-shot embedding. Tests on 9 prompt-tuning methods and 15 datasets show lower novel-class calibration error at comparable accuracy and negligible overhead.

Three metrics quantify the effect, and the bias persists across candidate-set size and temperature. Code is public.

For the six original (N, Ο„) pairs, M stays below 2^24, so the bound is under 2^-100 after 2^128 challenges at p = 2^252.

  50. Tool-Calling LLM Agents Under Realistic MCP Faults: Scale Does Not Purchase Fault Tolerance

    MCP-Injector is a protocol-aware fault-injection middleware for Model Context Protocol tool calls, with permanent, transient and intermittent faults on seedable schedules. Its fault model comes from 57,240 issue and PR threads across 1,774 open-source MCP repositories. In a 1,350-cell experiment, faults cut task-completion score by 60% (8.08 to 3.23 of 10), and the 120B gpt-oss model was no more resilient than the 20B. Agent stacks differed in how well they absorbed faults.

  51. For Thirty Pieces of Silver: Overcoming Non-IID via ZKP Sample-Level Auditing and Forcing Attackers into Traitors in Federated Learning

    Preprint (IACR ePrint 2026/2611) proposing a federated learning defense that replaces gradient detection with zero-knowledge-proof sample-level audits of client datasets. A staking mechanism forces attackers to train on discovered poisoned samples with flipped labels, producing counter-gradients that remove the backdoor without knowing the trigger. ZKP commitments lock the training data, which blocks adaptive attacks and gradient tampering. On CIFAR-10 under Dir(0.1) non-IID, it holds attack success rate below 6% against distributed backdoor and edge-case attacks.

Attackers used GitHub CLI OAuth tokens, likely leaked through Claude Code into LiteLLM logs, to disable branch protections, redirect the releaser to a lookalike repository and sign poisoned artifacts. The payload is an infostealer and RAT; Wiz saw Amazon Bedrock abuse. The last clean version is 1.106.2.

The AKV serving engine keeps a stateless API while managing stateful cache reuse, eviction and restoration. A tool-response rolling-drop policy raised benchmark scores by 1.7 points and cut cost 27.7% versus threshold-triggered summarization.

S^2 correlates positively with downstream robot task success across embodied model families, helps pick promising VLM backbones before fine-tuning into VLAs, and explains behaviours seen in VLAs and world action models.

    BeNice! is a post-training method for looped language models that broadcasts the final recurrence's KV-cache into the first recurrence, so one cache can serve all recurrences. It follows a first stage that uses stochastic depth in pretraining to induce contractive residual dynamics. It matches standard finetuning's unshared validation perplexity and composes with multi-latent attention, Kimi delta attention and fp8, mxfp8 and nvfp4 cache quantization. In simulated low-memory long-context inference it raises cache hit rates by up to 31.4% and throughput by up to 23.6%, and cuts p90 time-to-first-token by up to 83.6%.
