Bitcoin Wallet Maker Trezor Says Hackers Breached Its Email Provider

In briefTrezor said its third-party email provider was breached and used to send phishing emails.The fake alert claimed an STM32 hardware flaw weakened recovery phrases on some Trezor devices.Security researchers said similar emails targeting BitBox users may point to a broader compromise of hardware-wallet email providers.  Hardware wallet maker Trezor warned users Wednesday that hackers breached its third-party email provider and used it to distribute a phishing email disguised as a critical security warning.  “Please be aware that the email named ‘Critical Security Alert: STM32 Entropy Vulnerability’ is not coming from us, and its a phishing attempt. Do not click on any link,” Trezor wrote on X.  Myriad: How high will Bitcoin go in September? Click to make your prediction.  Trezor said it took down the domain used in the attack and is investigating how hackers gained access to its legitimate domain.  The fake Trezor email claims the companys engineers discovered a “critical hardware-level vulnerability” in STM32 microcontrollers used in its devices. It then falsely claims the defect affects an estimated one in four devices and could leave recovery phrases with insufficient randomness, or entropy, likely playing on fears related to the recent Coldcard exploit that cost users over $130 million in Bitcoin.  Trezor issued a

Robinhood Stock Tokens Legal Debate Over AMC Shares

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev pushed back this week against the idea that companies should have automatic veto power over how their shares get turned into tradable crypto assets, reigniting a public fight with AMC Entertainment over the legal footing of Robinhood stock tokens. Speaking on CNBC‘s “Squawk Box” on Wednesday, Sept. 9, Tenev laid out why he believes issuers don’t get the final word on every product that references their stock — even as he admitted that holders of these tokens get none of the voting power that comes with owning real shares.  Key takeawaysVlad Tenev said Robinhood stock tokens “should not automatically require issuer consent” because they are separate securities issued by a different legal entity.The tokens are tokenized debt securities issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited (RHJ), not direct AMC shares, and are backed one-for-one by underlying stock held with U.S. custodian Alpaca Securities LLC.Token holders get economic exposure and dividend-linked reinvestment benefits but no voting rights or legal ownership in AMC.AMC CEO Adam Aron says the structure “decouples stock token ownership from a companys ability to control its own capital raising efforts.”Whether AMC has any legal authority to force Robinhood to stop the product remains unresolved.

LayerZeros Akita Targets Quantum Threats With Smaller

LayerZero introduced Akita on Sept. 9, a new polynomial commitment system designed to protect zero-knowledge proofs against potential attacks from quantum computers.  The technology aims to provide quantum-resistant security while producing smaller proofs than existing post-quantum alternatives. That could make zero-knowledge applications more efficient as developers prepare for advances in computing power.  Introducing Akita, the first production-ready, lattice-based polynomial commitment scheme for post-quantum security.  Akita Targets Faster, Smaller Proofs  LayerZero says Akita can produce proofs of about 65 to 80 kilobytes, compared with more than 200 kilobytes for many hash-based alternatives. Smaller proofs could reduce the amount of data that networks need to process and store.  Related: Vitalik Buterin Proposes Recursive STARKs for Ethereums I-Star Upgrade  Akita also cuts Jolt‘s proving time by two to three times and reduces memory use by about half, according to LayerZero. Jolt, developed with a16z Crypto, is used by the Zero blockchain, where Akita’s integration could add protection against future quantum attacks.  Akita uses lattice-based cryptography, an approach included in US standards for defending against quantum computers. The technology could give developers another option for upgrading zero-knowledge systems before current cryptographic methods become vulnerable.  Quantum Readiness Gains Attention  Blockchain developers are increasingly preparing for quantum computers, which could eventually undermine some of the

Trezor email provider breached as fake wallet security alert spreads

Trezor has warned customers about a phishing email sent after attackers breached one of its third-party email providers.  The email warns about a major Trezor wallet security risk, but the warning is false, says the firm, and it advises recipients not to click links.  Fake email warns of Trezor wallet flaw  The subject line of the phishing email is “Critical Security Alert: STM32 Entropy Vulnerability.”  It almost looks as though the text is trying to trick the recipients into believing their hardware wallets are immediately at risk. Clicking the link may lead unsuspecting victims to a website asking them to provide confidential details of their wallets, etc.  In a post, Trezor said:  The email…is not coming from us, and its a phishing attempt.  The company has taken down the domain involved and is investigating how the attackers gained access to a legitimate domain.  Because the email came from a genuine domain, some users might be convinced that it is real. Attentive users usually check the sender‘s address before trusting an email, but because it’s an original domain, a fraudulent message may appear real.  Trezor has not revealed the name of the affected email provider, nor has it said how many of its customers received the fraudulent message or whether

OpenAI just showed why one of its former researchers thinks AI could kill everyone

OpenAI says its latest AI system solved a 90-year-old math problem in 88 hours, reigniting fears over runaway intelligence.  On Sept. 8, the company said that an internal model significantly more capable than its recently released GPT-6 Astra coordinated roughly 10,000 AI agents to solve the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem. This is one of mathematics seven Millennium Prize Problems.  The agents exchanged 2.7 million messages and generated about 130 billion output tokens before Astra spent another 17 hours formalizing and verifying the result in Lean. OpenAI said the system proved that initially smooth fluid motion can develop a singularity in finite time, resolving a question that has remained open since the 1930s.  The problem carries a $1 million prize from the Clay Mathematics Institute. OpenAI said it does not intend to claim the award, while the proof must still withstand broader scrutiny before its resolution is universally accepted.  Early reaction from the mathematics community was nonetheless striking. The American Mathematical Society described the development as a “milestone advance in human knowledge,” crediting decades of work by mathematicians before the final steps taken with OpenAIs system.  Breakthrough exposes the widening gap between public and private AI  The scale of the AI agents capability jump surprised people

Steak 'n Shake's Bitcoin bet posts double-digit sales growth

According to Steak n Shake, the decision to accept Bitcoin payments has yielded significant results, with franchise partners seeing a 19% increase in sales this quarter alone.  The statement was released in its X post on September 8. While the story sounds great for the popularity of Bitcoin among retailers, it is still just a company announcement. In fact, there is no proof that Bitcoin played an important role in sales growth, as Biglari Holdings regulatory filings reported increasing sales without checking how Bitcoin contributed to it.  This distinction is important. In reality, Steak n Shake is conducting a test to find out if old-fashioned retailers can use the advantages of Lightning, cheap processing fees, crypto-friendly customers, and Bitcoin reserves to develop a functioning model for other merchants to follow.  The numbers the company is putting forward  At the Bitcoin 2026 Conference, Michael Boes, Chief MAHA Officer of Steak n‘ Shake, described the company’s improving performance since it began accepting Bitcoin with consistent figures of 11% and 15% growth for same-store sales in Q2 2025 and Q3 2025, respectively.  These figures were cited by him in the context of his argument that the chain had experienced a turnaround due to Bitcoin. However, the actual filings

XRP Ledger: Top Developer Highlights Benefits of Permission Delegation Technology

Key Insights:XRP Ledger XLS-75 innovation improves permission delegation by closing security gaps found during V1.0 testing.XRP Ledger and Claude AI connect through formal verification work aimed at proving key ledger functions work as expected.The lending protocol will support institutional credit, including working capital and trade finance use cases.  XRP Ledger developer J. Ayo Akinyele has highlighted how the XLS-75 innovation makes permission delegation safer, after a major security issue was found during testing before the feature reached the XRPL mainnet. V1.1 keeps the feature intact while adding fixes for delegate checks and multi-signing.  XRP Ledger Update: XLS-75 Gets A Safer Path To Mainnet  Akinyele explained that Permission Delegation allows one account to act for another, but only within the permissions given by the account owner. The feature can help users and custody providers let another account handle selected actions without giving it full control.  Because delegation changes how transactions are processed, security was a major concern. During V1.0 testing, a critical vulnerability was reported through the bug bounty program before the amendment reached the XRP Ledger mainnet.  XRP Ledger Permission Delegation Update | Source: J. Ayo Akinyele  Instead of only patching the issue, the team pulled the amendment and introduced V1.1. This creates a clear line

Liquid Network Exploit Drains $320M in BTC, 85% Returned

Lawrence Jengar  Sep 09, 2026 22:23  Hackers exploited a Liquid Network bug to steal $320M in BTC, returning 85%. The incident reveals risks in blockchain-based financial layers.  A critical software vulnerability in Liquid Network allowed hackers to siphon off nearly 4,000 BTC, worth $320 million at the time, before returning 85% of the stolen funds. The exploit, which occurred on September 6, targeted flaws in the Bitcoin sidechains transaction validation mechanisms, underscoring risks in blockchain-based financial infrastructure.  The attack hinged on Liquid‘s Confidential Transactions system, which uses cryptographic proofs to validate transfers while keeping transaction amounts hidden. A flaw in the caching mechanism for these proofs enabled the attackers to create unbacked L-BTC tokens, which they then swapped for actual BTC from Liquid’s reserve. Approximately 3,998 BTC—95% of Liquids federation wallet—was drained before the network was paused.  Liquid Network, developed by Blockstream, is intended to provide fast, low-cost, and private Bitcoin transactions using L-BTC, a token pegged 1:1 to BTC. Under normal conditions, users must deposit BTC into Liquids network to mint L-BTC. However, the exploit bypassed this requirement, allowing hackers to mint tokens without collateral and “withdraw” real BTC.  After the breach, the attackers, claiming to be white-hat hackers, communicated with Blockstream via Bitcoin‘s OP_RETURN
