Nakamoto's $5.8M Options Loss Turns Q3 Revenue Negative Even as Bitcoin Rallies

Nakamoto booked a $5.8 million loss on Bitcoin options that pushed operating revenue below zero in Q3, and shares fell 6% in premarket trading.

Five Arrests, $5M, and a Folder of Fake Loan Agreements: Israel's WhatsApp Crypto Case Is a Warning Shot

Israeli police arrested five people over a $5 million crypto trading ring run through WhatsApp, alleging the group wrote fake loan agreements to explain bank deposits.

Chainstack's Breach Started With a Default Grafana Password. The 30-Day Rotation Window Is the Bigger Problem

An October intrusion at Chainstack came down to three config failures, not a zero-day: an unchanged Grafana admin login, an open tool server with broad Kubernetes permissions, and machine credentials bridging dev to prod.
