G7 Central Bank Quantum Technology Working Group Releases First Report, Warning of Financial Encryption Security Risks

the G7 Central Bank Quantum Technology Working Group has released its first public report, warning that quantum computing could have a profound impact on the global financial system, with traditional encryption systems facing significant security challenges. Established in 2025 and led by the central banks of France and Canada, the working group brings together several major global central banks. The report notes that a quantum computer capable of breaking encryption codes will likely emerge within the next decade, and a "harvest now, decrypt later" attack model could threaten the security of existing financial data. The report recommends that financial institutions catalog their encrypted assets, gradually transition to post-quantum cryptography, and enhance multi-party collaboration. At the same time, quantum technology can also empower areas such as risk modeling, asset allocation, and economic forecasting. This report marks the formal inclusion of quantum technology in financial stability considerations by the G7 central banks, potentially driving a long-term upgrade of global financial infrastructure.

Aztec Network Attacked, Losses Exceed $2.15 Million; Root Cause is a Mismatch Between ZK Proof and L1 Settlement Boundaries

According to analysis by BlockSec Phalcon (@Phalcon_xyz), Aztec Network's RollupProcessorV3 contract was attacked, resulting in losses exceeding $2.15 million. The root cause is that `numRealTxs` was not effectively bound to the transaction set enforced by the ZK proof, causing a deviation between the proof verification path and the L1 settlement logic's interpretation of the transaction list.The attacker exploited this vulnerability to move real deposits to slots not processed by the settlement logic, bypassing the `decreasePendingDepositBalance()` function. By creating unbacked private balances out of thin air, they were able to withdraw funds through the normal settlement process. A total of seven assets were involved.

Anthropic Model Safety Controversy Escalates, Amazon Accused of Being the "Hidden Force" Triggering Regulatory Intervention

the U.S. government's export controls and access restrictions on Anthropic's models, Fable 5 / Mythos 5, were partly driven by Amazon's cybersecurity research and AWS CEO Andy Jassy's communications with the White House.It is understood that research submitted by Amazon indicated that through a series of prompt tests, researchers could induce Fable 5 to output sensitive information potentially usable for cyberattacks, raising security concerns. Subsequently, Andy Jassy reported these findings to the U.S. government level, prompting the White House to implement further restrictions, including banning foreign users from accessing the model.Meanwhile, former U.S. Commerce Department official Kate Koren revealed that the White House's existing policy stance towards Anthropic may have also influenced this decision. This is because Anthropic has disagreements with the White House over the boundaries of AI safety, including refusing to use its models for mass surveillance or lethal autonomous weapons systems. Although the two sides had eased tensions and expanded cooperation earlier this year, this incident could reignite strained relations between them. (The Wall Street Journal)

David Sacks responds to Anthropic “security controversy” triggering regulation: Core conflict is unpatched vulnerability

David Sacks, co-chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, responded to the regulatory implications of the Anthropic “security controversy,” stating that he has communicated with multiple parties regarding the current situation at Anthropic. He concluded that the core of the event lies in the security controversy sparked by its newly released model “Fable” (the commercial version of the Mythos-class models). Although Anthropic publicly stated the vulnerability was “not severe,” the U.S. government and testers disagreed with this assessment, believing it was significant enough to impact the model's security, even involving “cyber weapons operability” risks.David Sacks further criticized that Anthropic has long emphasized “safety first,” yet in this instance, it was more inclined to keep the consumer version continuously online rather than prioritizing the repair of the security issue. He stated this matter should not be conflated with previous defense or regulatory controversies and noted that the U.S. government still recognizes Anthropic's technical capabilities. The current problem “could have been resolved quickly, the ball is in Anthropic's court.”

Zcash Founder Says Claude Mythos Audit Found No Critical Vulnerabilities

Odaily Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox posted on X stating that a security audit conducted by Anthropic's Claude Mythos AI model did not find any "more severe vulnerabilities" in the Zcash protocol. The audit was commissioned by Shielded Labs, a Swiss non-profit organization supporting Zcash development. On June 3, Zcash developers temporarily paused Orchard transactions after discovering a vulnerability in the shielded pool, restoring functionality through an emergency upgrade the same day. The issue stemmed from a four-year-old forging vulnerability in the Orchard shielded pool, identified by security researcher Taylor Hornby with the assistance of Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 model. The Zcash Foundation stated there is no evidence that the vulnerability was exploited, nor was any unauthorized value creation detected, and user privacy remained unaffected.Anthropic released the first public version of the Claude Mythos model, Fable 5, on Tuesday, and stated on Friday that it has suspended access to the Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models due to export control directives issued by the U.S. government citing national security concerns.
