According to The Hacker News, the Dutch National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has warned that a recently patched serious authentication vulnerability in Apple's macOS screen sharing component (CVE-2026-65400, CVSS score 9.8) has been exploited in the wild, allowing attackers to access Macs exposed to the internet (port 5900) and implant Monero mining software without valid credentials.Apple has fixed the vulnerability in an emergency update on August 6 with macOS Tahoe 26.6.1, Sequoia 15.7.9, and Sonoma 14.8.9, strengthening credential verification through improved state management. The NCSC confirmed that in multiple attacks, attackers gained root access and deployed mining software. Security researcher @osxreverser disclosed another pre-authentication vulnerability in the same component (also patched in 26.6), which allows bypassing password authentication with just the target IP, without needing a username to exploit.According to Calif, researchers developed usable attack programs for both vulnerabilities using AI in just 4 hours, demonstrating that AI is significantly shortening the time from vulnerability discovery to the development of attack code. Users are advised to update their systems immediately; if unable to update, they should disable the screen sharing feature.

According to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, the number of Bitcoin currently considered lost has reached 3.56 million, setting a historical high, accounting for approximately 17.7% of the circulating supply.The so-called lost Bitcoin typically refers to those that have had no on-chain activity for a long time, where the private keys may be permanently lost or inaccessible. This high ratio indicates that the actual supply of BTC available for trading is further tightening, and the related statistics are attracting market attention.

According to CoinDesk, as Wall Street and global financial institutions accelerate their entry into the digital asset space, the boundaries between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) are gradually blurring. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated, "The era of 'going long on Bitcoin and shorting bankers' is over," as financial institutions are turning to the other side of the crypto industry, promoting the adoption of digital assets.Hunter Horsley mentioned that this summer, two financial institutions managing over $1 trillion in assets approved the launch of crypto products in a bear market environment, indicating that large institutions are expanding channels for clients to access digital assets. "This year, everyone is wearing the crypto industry's jersey. Now, everyone is working for the crypto industry," Horsley said. He pointed out that these financial institutions, which manage over a trillion dollars in client assets, previously would not have opened related services during the downturn of the crypto market in 2022, but now they are actively embracing this field.Sygnum Chief Investment Officer Fabian Dori also believes that the relationship between banks and the crypto industry has undergone a structural change. "The past trades of 'going long on Bitcoin and shorting bankers' are over; banks have shifted from resisting digital assets to building, supporting, and distributing digital assets through custody, tokenization, and compliant trading." This change is primarily driven by growing customer demand and gradually clarified regulatory rules, rather than short-term market cycle changes.Anchorage Digital CEO Nathan McCauley stated that over the past two years, its client structure increasingly reflects the trend of integration between traditional finance and crypto finance. Large financial institutions typically choose to collaborate with specialized crypto infrastructure companies rather than building their own technology systems.In recent years, more and more financial institutions have entered the crypto space, including Swissquote, DBS, BBVA, BNY Mellon, Credit Suisse-related institutions, as well as Morgan Stanley and Charles Schwab.

According to Crypto.news, Cardano governance company Intersect has updated its roadmap, dividing the Dijkstra upgrade into two phases: the first phase will go live in Q4 2026, including the Linear Leios scaling solution, nested transactions, new serialization structures, and PlutusV4 changes; the second phase will activate the Ouroboros Peras consensus protocol through a separate hard fork, with a target date of Q2 2027.Linear Leios introduces an endorsement block mechanism, where additional transactions are certified by the stake committee to enhance throughput while retaining the existing Praos security model. Additionally, Cardano plans to submit an amendment to add Dijkstra-related parameters by September 11. The Rust node client Amaru has already acquired relay and chain synchronization capabilities, with a mainnet block production target set for November 2026. Intersect emphasizes that the above timelines are estimates rather than commitments, and governance and community testing may lead to delays in activation.

"White-haired stock god" Serenity stated that AI investment may be simpler than the market imagines, as Nvidia and its CEO Jensen Huang have actually been releasing signals of future industry trends in advance, but the market often chooses to ignore these trends before they truly explode. Serenity noted that when Nvidia heavily locked in EML (Electrically Modulated Laser) and laser production capacity in 2025, the market questioned the photonics sector, believing that related companies had issues with speculation or even management. However, a year later, the stock prices of related optical communication companies surged significantly. Among them, LITE rose by 678%, and AAOI rose by 475.12%.Serenity believes that the market is currently repeating a similar pattern. In 2026, Nvidia locked in continuous wave (CW) laser and EML production capacity through long-term agreements, while clearly promoting the transition to an 800V power architecture and repeatedly emphasizing that co-packaged optics (CPO) and "Physical AI" will become important trends in the next phase. The market may once again underestimate the industry signals released by Nvidia, but Nvidia and Jensen Huang's judgments often serve as leading indicators of AI industry trends.

According to three informed sources, in mid-May, when U.S. negotiators attempted to reach an agreement to end the war with Iran, they encountered a problem: they could not determine whether the Iranian representatives across the negotiating table truly represented the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which holds significant influence in the country. The report stated that, as a result, officials from the Trump administration took an unusual approach—bypassing the Iranian negotiating representatives and directly contacting senior leaders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.The U.S. chose Nechirvan Barzani, the President of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, to handle this secret communication channel. He possesses a rare advantage: he has gained the trust of both the U.S. and the leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. This incident highlights that one of the significant reasons for the difficulties in U.S.-Iran negotiations is Washington's inability to determine who truly holds decision-making power in Iran. The U.S. and Iran did eventually reach a memorandum of understanding, but it quickly fell apart.

According to Crypto Briefing, Bits of Gold, Israel's largest compliant crypto broker, has suffered a data breach, with approximately 200,000 customers' personal information stolen by hackers, putting all users of the platform at risk.The company obtained Israel's first virtual asset service provider (VASP) license in September 2022 and was approved to issue the BILS stablecoin, pegged 1:1 to the shekel, in April 2026. The types of stolen data have not been disclosed, but crypto brokers typically collect sensitive information such as identification documents, proof of address, and financial information in accordance with KYC regulations. While cold wallets can protect digital assets, they cannot safeguard customer identity documents on servers. Historical cases show that similar data breaches are often used for phishing, SIM card swapping, and targeted social engineering attacks, with security risks extending beyond the platform itself.

The CLARITY Act aims to provide a clearer regulatory framework for digital assets, and the market generally views it as one of the important legislative variables affecting the risk appetite for crypto assets.

The CEO of the World Gold Council recently stated that he personally believes Bitcoin will ultimately "go to zero," saying, "My personal view on Bitcoin is that it will go to zero." In response, Binance co-founder CZ posted that many people have made incorrect judgments about cryptocurrencies in the past, but understanding this field takes time, and he stated, "I also can't be 100% sure that I'm right, after all, we are all human."Analysis suggests that the view of Bitcoin "going to zero" has long existed in recent years, with critics mainly arguing that it lacks the cash flow support of traditional assets and has excessive price volatility; while supporters believe that Bitcoin possesses decentralization, scarcity, and digital value storage attributes, and may become part of the global financial system in the future.

According to Arkham data, around 16:15 today, CZ's public donation address saw three consecutive token burn actions, specifically 4,444 Meme tokens "Bull Coming" (with a contract address starting with 0xD043B6, which is a market-hyped token with the same name starting with 0xbee), 4,444 Meme coins MarsCoin, and 4,444 "Binance Life".Upon verification of the three burn actions, the 4,444 Meme tokens "Bull Coming" were not actively burned by CZ. The initiator of the transaction was the token creator himself (0xcf86..383), who deployed the contract and set up privileged authorization to mint 1 billion tokens for his own address. Subsequently, he actively transferred about 800 million tokens to CZ's address and used transferFrom to forcibly transfer 4,444 tokens from CZ's address to a black hole address, simulating a burn by CZ. During this period, the CZ address had no authorization for this token or the initiator.
