UK Financial Regulator Urgently Assesses Risks of Anthropic’s Latest AI Model
Officials from the Bank of England, the Financial Conduct Authority, and the Treasury are consulting with the National Cyber Security Centre to examine potential vulnerabilities in critical IT systems revealed by Anthropic’s latest model.
U.S. Department of the Treasury Opens Cyber Threat Information Sharing Mechanism to the Cryptocurrency Industry
According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced it will extend its cybersecurity threat information-sharing service—which was previously available only to traditional financial institutions—to cryptocurrency firms. Eligible crypto companies may apply to join the program through the Treasury’s Office of Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection and receive timely, actionable cybersecurity threat intelligence at no cost. Luke Pettit, Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions at the Treasury Department, stated that this move aims to foster a safer and more responsible digital asset ecosystem. The policy responds to related recommendations outlined in a prior report issued by the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets.
OpenAI Launches GPT-5.4-Cyber Model, Offering Low Refusal Capability to Security Personnel
Odaily News OpenAI announced the launch of the GPT-5.4-Cyber model. This model is fine-tuned based on GPT-5.4 for cybersecurity scenarios, reducing refusal restrictions on security-related requests under specific conditions to support professional operations such as binary reverse analysis.According to the introduction, the model is only available to vetted security vendors, enterprise security teams, and researchers through the "Trusted Access for Cybersecurity" (TAC) program. OpenAI stated that a layered mechanism will restrict the model's usage scope and impose additional constraints on access in low-visibility scenarios.

Quantum Computers Crack 15-bit ECC Keys; Bitcoin’s 256-bit Security Remains Unthreatened—But Migration Countdown Accelerates
According to CryptoSlate, Project Eleven awarded the Q-Day Prize to researcher Giancarlo Lelli on April 24 for successfully deriving a 15-bit elliptic curve private key from its public key using publicly accessible quantum hardware—the largest publicly demonstrated instance of its kind to date, representing a 512-fold improvement over the prior 6-bit demonstration in September 2025. Lelli employed a variant of Shor’s algorithm tailored to the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP), the mathematical foundation of Bitcoin’s signature scheme; the award-winning hardware comprised approximately 70 qubits. Currently, no known quantum computer can break real Bitcoin wallets, and Bitcoin’s 256-bit elliptic curve security remains far beyond the capabilities of existing quantum systems. Notably, Google revised downward its resource estimates for ECDLP-256 on March 31 and set a post-2029 target for migration to quantum-resistant cryptography; Cloudflare promptly followed suit, and the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) established migration milestones between 2028 and 2035. On-chain data indicates that roughly 6.93 million BTC are currently exposed to potential quantum risk due to publicly revealed public keys. The Bitcoin community has proposed BIP 360 and BIP 361 to facilitate migration toward quantum-resistant output types; however, coordination across the decentralized network remains the greatest challenge.
Florida and Massachusetts Recover $5.4 Million in Crypto Fraud Funds
According to Cryptopolitan, approximately $5.4 million worth of cryptocurrency assets have been recovered in a crypto-investment scam that originated as a “romance scam” involving both Florida and Massachusetts. Of this amount, around $700,000 has been returned to victims in Florida, and $1.3 million to victims in Massachusetts; the remaining funds will be used to continue combating crypto scams. Florida prosecutors stated that victims in this case are spread across six counties within the state, with a single victim from Marion County losing over $450,000. Florida’s Cyber Fraud Enforcement Unit reported that $3.3 million was recovered in Q1 2026, bringing its cumulative recoveries since its establishment 2.5 years ago to $7.2 million; an additional $12.6 million in frozen cryptocurrency assets remains under litigation.

Hong Kong woman in her fifties falls victim to online romance scam by “cryptocurrency investment expert,” loses over HK$2 million
According to AASTOCKS Financial News, Hong Kong Police’s “Cyber Guardian” social media platform disclosed that a woman in her fifties was scammed on Instagram after a fraudster proactively followed and initiated contact with her. The fraudster quickly established a romantic relationship by showing concern and care, then claimed to be a “cryptocurrency investment expert.” Under the pretext of opening an account on an investment website, the fraudster induced the victim to transfer HK$40,000 as a “handling fee.” Subsequently, the fraudster instructed her to exchange cash for USDT at physical exchange stores—seven times in total—and transfer the funds to the fraudster via an e-wallet. After receiving the money, the fraudster immediately cut off all contact. In total, the victim lost over HK$2 million. The police urge members of the public to remain vigilant when making friends online. If someone requests a money transfer for any reason, pause and think carefully before proceeding.
