    ChatGPT Helps Expose a $1 Million Crypto 'Pig-Butchering' Scam

    A San Jose widow who believed she had found a new romantic partner online instead lost nearly $1 million in a crypto “pig-butchering” scam, and only realized it after asking ChatGPT if the investment offer made sense. The scheme drained her retirement accounts and left her at risk of losing her home, according to a report by San Jose-based ABC7 News. The woman, Margaret Loke, met a man who called himself “Ed” on Facebook last May. The relationship moved quickly to WhatsApp, where the man, claimi...

    Ledger Finds Popular Smartphone Chip Vulnerable to Unpatchable Attacks

    An unpatchable flaw in a widely used smartphone chip developed by Taiwan-based MediaTek allowed researchers to take full control of the device through a precisely timed electromagnetic attack, according to new findings published on Wednesday by crypto wallet provider Ledger. The vulnerable code sits in the chip’s boot ROM, the earliest stage of the startup process, meaning it cannot be corrected with a software update. Ledger’s Donjon team examined the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 (MT6878), a 4-nanom...

    Musk Says Real-World Data From X and Tesla to Drive AGI Efforts

    Elon Musk said his AI company xAI assigned a 10% probability to achieving artificial general intelligence with its upcoming Grok 5 model, arguing that progress toward human-level reasoning would depend on live data rather than the static training sets used by rival labs. He claimed during a recent interview at the Baron Investment Conference that xAI’s data access from X is its primary competitive edge. “Grok 5 is the first time where I thought, well, we have a non-zero chance of achieving artif...

  • What Is a Layer-1 Blockchain? The Base Layer Powering Bitcoin and Crypto

    A layer-1, or L1, blockchain is the base network of a blockchain ecosystem. It operates independently—without relying on other chains for validation or execution—and handles everything from transaction processing to consensus and data storage on its own ledger. Often called the mainnet or settlement layer, a layer-1 blockchain forms the ground floor upon which all other blockchain layers, including sidechains and layer-2s, are built. Where layer-2s extend performance on top of existing networks,...

    More Ready Than Bitcoin? How Zcash Developers Are Preparing for the Quantum Threat

    Quantum computers are still far from breaking modern cryptography, but Zcash developers are treating the possibility as an active threat. The privacy coin’s engineers have been building contingency plans for a future machine powerful enough to sift through old blockchain data and expose years of user activity. For a privacy-focused network, a “Q-Day” quantum attack would strike at the heart of its design. A successful attack could expose past activity, disrupt basic safeguards, and force develop...

    Group Asks Federal Agency to Halt Use of Elon Musk's Grok AI Amid Racism Concerns

    Public Citizen, a nonprofit consumer advocacy organization, escalated its warnings about Elon Musk’s Grok AI on Friday after publishing new evidence showing the chatbot cited neo-Nazi and white-nationalist websites as credible sources. The group said the behavior should disqualify Grok from any federal use, and renewed calls for the U.S. Office of Management and Budget to intervene after months without a response. Citing a recent study by Cornell University, Public Citizen said that Grokipedia,...
