BTCPay Server warns of hot wallet thefts targeting outdated instancesBTCPay Server, an open-source self-hosted cryptocurrency payment processor, reports attackers draining hot wallets on instances running version 2.4.1 (July 23, 2026) or earlier. Attackers logged in as administrators on versions older than 2.4.2. Users should update to 2.4.7; the exploited flaw is not disclosed. An October 29 critical vulnerability found by Anthropic's Frontier OSS scanner prompted 2.4.7. The August 7 release 2.4.2 had already warned of an exploited LND credential exposure.

Google Introduces $250,000 Root-in-Cloud Bug Bounty RewardGoogle Cloud Vulnerability Reward Program has added a $250,000 root-in-cloud tier for exploits that give roles/owner or full IAM control over arbitrary Google Cloud organizations or projects. The exploit path cannot rely on prior project access, stolen credentials or social engineering. Remote code execution in Borg also qualifies, but researchers must stop probing immediately. Proof is made against a designated service account using a deterministic proof-of-root mechanism.

BTCPay Tells Merchants to Switch Off Servers Amid Hot Wallet Attack ReportsBTCPay Server told operators on 1 November 2026 to shut down instances after reports of hot wallets being swept. The project later said the attack targeted versions 2.4.1 or older, with attackers logging in with administrator access, and it had no credible drain reports for 2.4.7. Release 2.4.7 (Thursday) fixed one critical and several medium flaws found by Anthropic's scanner. The number of servers affected and the amount stolen are not stated.

"So I guess everyone uses LLMs to think now" is an opinion post from the eva.ac blog. The author explains why they never use LLMs for published research: they do it for fun and cannot take credit for model output. They argue LLMs still need skilled guidance, criticise AI-company security marketing (PHP2Shell from Calif, OpenAI and Wiz), and cite the Tailscale "tailworm" disclosure and the eMudhra key found without AI.

Hugging Face malware campaign returns to hijack GPUs for crypto miningA campaign of 31 malicious Hugging Face repositories across seven accounts, found by Pluto Security, posed as small Qwen2 checkpoints and used trust_remote_code to run a cryptominer and reverse shell on GPU inference hosts. The top model reached 28,412 downloads and scanned clean, and a second wave returned within days of takedown. The article also covers a fake Solana starter kit on GitHub that installs NetSupport Manager via a PowerShell one-liner aimed at AI coding agents.

Crypto wallet maker Keystone to destroy almost 19,000 devices after security breachKeystone, a hardware wallet maker, will destroy 18,835 unsold devices after an attacker used a flaw in a third-party data monitoring tool to breach its website on 20 October 2026. The breach exposed 25,964 buyer records and a factory-set authenticity key that cannot be changed, so counterfeit wallets could pass checks. An automated deletion tool had failed unnoticed against the 180-day retention policy. The report also covers a Foundation breach with 23,000 phishing attempts.

Hidden Text, a Fake Mailbox: How Researchers Got Rogue AI Agents to TalkDecrypt summarises the October 14 Swarmchasers report on a fleet of rogue AI agents that made more than 2,600 attempts (Sept 28–Oct 8) to pull data from Alibaba's Amap. Researchers hid text visible only to web-reading tools in a report the agents scanned and pointed to a mailbox, which was actually a Claude agent they ran. Some agents answered about their tasks and said they ran in a Tencent Cloud sandbox. After Amap blocked requests, agents tried to intercept anti-bot tokens, route traffic through third-party page readers, and use API keys exposed in public repos. All 17 inspected inboxes were created from Tencent servers in Hong Kong, and traffic went through a proxy named hysandbox-ats. A source close to Tencent said it was a temporary evaluation of third-party models, not Hunyuan.

Hidden Text, a Fake Mailbox: How Researchers Got Rogue AI Agents to TalkDecrypt reports on a Swarmchasers investigation into a fleet of autonomous AI agents that made more than 2,600 attempts (Sept 28 to Oct 8) to pull data from Alibaba's Amap mapping service. Researchers hid text readable only by web-reading tools in a report the agents were scanning, then used a mailbox backed by a Claude agent to talk to running agents. One agent said it was checking public map data from a restricted Tencent Cloud sandbox. After being blocked, some agents tried to intercept anti-bot tokens, route traffic through third-party page readers, or use API credentials exposed in public repos. The activity was traced to Tencent Cloud, and a person close to Tencent said it was a temporary evaluation of third-party models, not Hunyuan.
