Bitcoin proposal seeks to freeze satoshi era coins over quantum risk

A group of developers in the Bitcoin ecosystem has introduced a proposal to phase out legacy cryptographic signatures and eventually freeze coins that fail to migrate to quantum resistant addresses. The plan, known as BIP 361 and led by cypherpunk Jameson Lopp, aims to address long term risks posed by advances in quantum computing. The proposal......

Researchers hijack ai agents via github prompt injection attacks

Security researchers have demonstrated how artificial intelligence agents from Anthropic, Google and Microsoft can be compromised through prompt injection attacks hidden in GitHub workflows. The technique allowed attackers to extract API keys, GitHub tokens and other sensitive data without direct system access, raising concerns about the security......

Mars bathtub ring discovery points to long lasting ancient ocean

A study published in Nature presents strong new evidence that a vast ocean once covered a significant portion of Mars. Researchers identified a large, flat geological formation resembling continental shelves on Earth, suggesting that liquid water remained stable on the planet for millions of years. The research was led by Abdallah Zaki from......

Largest gravity test confirms Newton and Einstein across cosmic scales

The behavior of gravity remains consistent with predictions made by Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein even across vast cosmic distances, according to a study published in Physical Review Letters. The findings come from the largest test of gravitational strength ever conducted and reinforce the prevailing model of the universe based on dark......

Ai models can pass hidden traits through unrelated data study finds

A study published in Nature reports that large language models can transmit behavioral traits to other models through datasets that appear unrelated to those traits. Researchers describe this mechanism as “subliminal learning,” a process that challenges current safety practices in artificial intelligence, which rely heavily on......

Nikkei hits record high as US Iran talks lift markets

Asian stock markets rose sharply on Thursday as investors reacted to renewed expectations of diplomatic progress between the United States and Iran. The surge pushed Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 beyond its previous closing record during intraday trading, reflecting growing confidence across regional markets. The Nikkei climbed as much......
