Hey Claude, I’m on my phone rn. Pls test the claim in the quoted tweet empirically. Use the full daily index history and BTC prices. Show how returns developed over 7–365 days after each index level, and whether bottoms actually followed fear readings. Use tests that account for overlapping returns. Write it up as a short journal-style paper with publication-quality figures and a clear verdict. Thx, honey :3

Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified.
The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.
As an immediate precaution, Binance has:
- temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed;
- revoked the affected address authorisation;
- engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds.
Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice.
Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.

Last month, the contracts powering Magic Eden were exploited to the tune of millions of dollars. I was lucky enough to be in a position to rescue a good portion of that, but it highlighted the danger of leaving approvals open as adversaries get access to better and better tools for finding holes in contract logic.
Today, Blur announced that they will be deprecating their frontend.
I've investigated Blur and found no exploits within the current contracts. However, the Blur contracts are upgradable, meaning that they could turn malicious at any time.
They currently have eight figures worth of NFTs approved to them. The safety of those NFTs effectively hinges on the opssec of the Blur team, which appears to be disbanding at this time.
If you have open approvals to Blur, I recommend you remove them immediately. Use revoke.cash or similar to ensure that you are protected in case of a contract exploit or later upgrade.
Don't wait. The time is now.

Introducing ChatGPT for Dishwashing
GPT-6 achieves state-of-the-art results on dishwashing benchmarks for long-running jobs and difficult stains.
The Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem is a $1 million challenge about whether the equations describing fluid motion can break down. In this video, I accidentally found a counter-example while trying to optimize my dishwasher. But in reality, OpenAI used 10,000 AI agents to find a proof in 88 hours: openai.com/index/navier-stok…

If the FTX movie doesn’t include Bitboy flying to the Bahamas to find SBF, I don’t wanna watch it.

We are long, long, long overdue to reduce the amount of KYC we do as a society.
It doesn’t stop crime. It enables mass surveillance of the innocent by the tyrannical. And, perhaps most of all, it enriches hackers with troves of intimate personal data.

Each day for a (365-day) year I shall toss a fair coin until I first see a head appear. On some days this will be on the first toss, on other days I will see tails one or more times before first seeing a head.
At the end of the year I know I will see a total of 365 heads. (One a day.) Do I expect to see more tails than this? Less?

Craziest thing I've seen in a while:
• Someone buys $4M worth of BONK
• Then posts a DAO proposal asking to transfer $20M in BONK to themselves
• Waits 7 days without anyone noticing
• Then votes "yes" with their own BONK holdings, and the proposal passes
• $20M is transferred to them
And now the Bonk team has suddenly realized they lost $20M.
This wasn't even a hack.
The proposal passed because no $BONK holders checked the governance forum.
Insane to see the current state of DAOs.
BonkDAO was the target of a malicious governance proposal resulting in an estimated $20M worth of BONK tokens being drained from the BonkDAO treasury.
During the investigation, BonkDAO identified the exchange wallets used to purchase BONK ahead of the proposal. BonkDAO is currently actively working with exchanges, bridges and Solana Foundation to best manage the situation.
Law enforcement has been notified. BonkDAO continues to work with relevant parties to recover funds and identify those responsible.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The proposal to drain BonkDAO's treasury passed legitimately after the proposer bought ~$4.4M in $BONK to meet the 1% quorum threshold and voted yes alone, as only 7 wallets participated out of 18,000+. x.com/lookonchain/st… x.com/chainalysis/st…
