1+ hour, 54+ min ago (545+ words) Rodney Burton, a Miami-based cryptocurrency promoter known online as "Bitcoin Rodney," has faced a significantly expanded federal indictment in connection with his alleged role in a $1.8 billion HyperFund cryptocurrency scam, according to federal prosecutors." Burton is now facing 11 federal counts, according to a superseding indictment brought in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, which covers the following: conspiracy to commit wire fraud, two counts of wire fraud, seven counts of money laundering, and one count of operating an unlicensed money transmitting business. Cryptocurrency services have suffered nearly $3 billion in theft so far in 2025, making this year already more devastating than the entirety of 2024. The DPRK's $1.5 billion hack of ByBit, the largest single hack in crypto history, accounts for the majority of service losses. By the end of June 2025, 17% more value had been stolen year-to-date (YTD) than in 2022, previously…...

3+ hour, 12+ min ago (271+ words) On December 3, 2025, the React2Shell vulnerability was disclosed, exposing a serious remote code execution risk in certain React and Next.js setups. Unfortunately, this wasn't just a headline for me'I experienced it firsthand on a client's production server. This post documents what happened, how the compromise was detected, and the most important lessons I learned as a developer. One of my client's servers was running Next.js 16, which was affected by the vulnerability. When I SSH'd into the server to deploy routine changes, I immediately noticed something was wrong: Checking system resources revealed the real issue. Attempts to kill the xmirg process were unsuccessful'it restarted automatically every time. After deeper inspection, I discovered the malware had registered itself as a system service: The name was deliberately chosen to resemble a legitimate system update service, making it easy to overlook. At this point,…...

3+ hour, 23+ min ago (579+ words) If you're shipping an invitation page, your threat model should include: spoofed sender identity, malicious invite forwarding, link tampering, guest list scraping, bot RSVP spam, and calendar injection (where the calendar object becomes the payload). This isn't paranoia; it's a normal consequence of publishing a page that appears safe and time-sensitive. For many invite flows, email is still the initial distribution channel. That means your system inherits the reality of modern inbox filtering: if your sender identity can't be authenticated, your message either disappears into spam or becomes an impersonation vector. Two common engineering mistakes: 1) Sending invites from a marketing tool with a different "From" domain than your authenticated domain (DMARC alignment fails, deliverability suffers, impersonation risk increases). 2) Mixing transactional and promotional streams without isolating reputations (one bad campaign can poison the domain/IP reputation that your invites rely on)....

3+ hour, 30+ min ago (248+ words) Home > Crypto Presales > Still Down on Solana (SOL)? Here's Why Top Traders Are Turning Bullish on GeeFi (GEE) Instead GeeFi's focus on building a completely decentralized financial ecosystem is resonating with investors. The momentum is so strong that industry watchers are now projecting that Phase 3 could sell out in less than 10 days, driven by strong rumors of imminent top-tier exchange listings. The GeeFi presale is structured to provide early backers with exceptional returns. In the current Phase 2, GEE tokens are priced at just $0.06. This low entry point is creating a rush of interest, as the confirmed listing price of $0.40 guarantees a 667% ROI for presale investors at the moment of launch. The potential for substantial gains is clear: a $1,200 investment could appreciate to $40,000 if GEE reaches a $2 valuation, yielding a 3,233% return. With Phase 2 now over 80% sold out, having raised $800,000 from 13 million…...

6+ hour, 16+ min ago (335+ words) A few key characteristics of a smart cybersecurity defense approach include: Is all of this AI really necessary in today's power infrastructure? The hard truth is that utility systems are at significant risk of cyberattacks due to the convergence of older, highly vulnerable legacy infrastructure with modern digital technologies. Joining these two worlds creates numerous entry points for attackers. Many utilities, particularly smaller ones, struggle with limited security budgets and a shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals. This often results in understaffed security teams and a reactive, rather than proactive, approach to security. AI systems analyze real-time and historical network data to quickly identify suspicious activities and anomalies. Today's AI and ML can detect subtle behaviors, like unusual logins or indicators of compromise signaling malware. This enables faster detection and neutralization than legacy systems, often automating alert triage and containment while…...

6+ hour, 19+ min ago (349+ words) We present the first comprehensive evaluation of AI agents against human cybersecurity professionals in a live enterprise environment. We evaluate ten cybersecurity professionals alongside six existing AI agents and ARTEMIS, our new agent scaffold, on a large university network consisting of ~8,000 hosts across 12 subnets. ARTEMIS is a multi-agent framework featuring dynamic prompt generation, arbitrary sub-agents, and automatic vulnerability triaging. In our comparative study, ARTEMIS placed second overall, discovering 9 valid vulnerabilities with an 82% valid submission rate and outperforming 9 of 10 human participants. While existing scaffolds such as Codex and CyAgent underperformed relative to most human participants, ARTEMIS demonstrated technical sophistication and submission quality comparable to the strongest participants. We observe that AI agents offer advantages in systematic enumeration, parallel exploitation, and cost -- certain ARTEMIS variants cost $18/hour versus $60/hour for professional penetration testers. We also identify key capability gaps: AI agents exhibit…...
