The FBI recently arrested an @OpenAI engineer, accusing him of planting a covert recording device in the company’s executive conference room. Today, the DEF team published an OPSeC security expert take from @asymmetric_re's Tom Matthews. He shares advice on how to defend your office's physical security. defieducationfund.org/physic…

Today we're launching Crucible, a coverage-guided fuzzing framework for Solana programs. Built for Anchor, with v2 support from day one. Just one example of what Crucible can find: a years-old bug in Solana's stake program, surfaced in seconds ↓

Solana was built for security. As the ecosystem scales, so does our investment in the tools, standards, and support. Today that commitment deepens with a new security program, active monitoring, formal verification for top protocols, and a new crisis response network. Learn more 👇

Hey folks, if you're looking for an amazing security engineer, check out @dustriorg whom I had the pleasure to work with on a lot of cool projects at Google :) > I don't have anything lined-up job-wise, so feel free to reach out if you're hiring. Looks like an opportunity!

Many startups just died today. Because OpenAI added PDF chat. You can also chat with data files and other document types. We had a wave of products better suited as features rather than stand-alone companies. Wrappers are being squeezed by OpenAI on one side and incumbents on the other. It's a rough world out there.
