Bitget Chief Legal Officer Hon Ng issued an open letter today, announcing the official launch of Bitget’s 2026 Global Anti-Fraud Month campaign under the theme “More Assets, Stronger Protection.” In the letter, Hon Ng noted that as the platform expands from crypto assets to a multi-asset ecosystem, users are facing increasingly complex cybersecurity threats while enjoying broader market access. He emphasized: The multi-asset era means greater responsibility. User protection is not a one-time project but the collective result of continuous risk monitoring, rapid response, security education, and industry collaboration.The open letter also disclosed Bitget’s security and anti-fraud achievements for 2025. Data shows that Bitget intercepted over 150 million malicious attack requests throughout the year, identified more than 13,000 high-risk malicious IP addresses, handled 18,135 user protection cases, and assisted users in recovering approximately $32.3 million in funds related to security incidents and fraudulent activities. Additionally, Bitget’s security system achieved over 2.8 billion risk interceptions through custom protection rules, repelled more than 1.5 billion DDoS attack attempts, and introduced machine learning-based behavioral analysis capabilities to further identify suspicious activities and potential risks.
on May 29, 2026, Taylor Hornby discovered a critical counterfeiting vulnerability in Zcash's Orchard pool. Taylor Hornby reported the vulnerability to the Zcash Open Development Lab, and after coordinated efforts, a fix was completed on June 2. The vulnerability could have been exploited to secretly create an unlimited number of counterfeit ZEC within Zcash Orchard. Due to the privacy features of Orchard, it is cryptographically impossible to determine whether the vulnerability was exploited before the fix was deployed.The vulnerability had existed since Orchard's activation in May 2022 until an emergency fix was deployed on June 1, 2026. Taylor Hornby, with the assistance of AI tools, wrote a complete exploit program and generated an infinite, undetectable amount of counterfeit ZEC in a local test environment. Shielded Labs is currently collaborating with other Zcash developers to explore network upgrade proposals that would allow anyone to verify the integrity of Zcash's supply.
Open-source data visualization tool Grafana announced on X that it recently discovered an unauthorized attacker had obtained a token granting access to Grafana Labs’ GitHub environment and used it to download code repositories. An investigation confirmed that no customer data or personal information was compromised, and no impact was found on customer systems or business operations. Forensic analysis was initiated immediately following the incident, and the source of the credential leak has been identified. Additional security measures have also been deployed to strengthen environmental protections. Additionally, Grafana disclosed that the attacker attempted to extort payment via ransomware to prevent public disclosure of the code repositories; however, the company ultimately decided not to pay the ransom. More details from the post-incident review will be shared after the investigation concludes.
Odaily AI security startup Depthfirst has announced that its self-developed AI model outperforms Anthropic’s latest model, Mythos, in code vulnerability detection. It has discovered more critical security vulnerabilities at approximately one-tenth the cost, drawing attention from the cybersecurity industry.According to the company, a month before the launch of Mythos, it had previously claimed to have found a large number of severe vulnerabilities in key internet infrastructure code. Depthfirst now says its model has further identified multiple high-risk vulnerabilities that Mythos missed, all at a lower cost (approximately $1,000 compared to $10,000).Depthfirst CEO Qasim Mithani stated that the company has improved vulnerability detection efficiency through a “single-task-optimized AI model,” significantly reducing the cost of security analysis while enhancing coverage depth.The company completed $80 million in funding in March this year, achieving a valuation of $580 million. Alongside this, it launched the “Open Defense Initiative,” providing $5 million worth of AI detection credits to open-source developers and critical infrastructure projects for vulnerability scanning and security audits.

Odaily News Open source AI agent project OpenClaw maintainer Onur Solmaz publicly posted a strong response to various external negative controversies. He stated that the project has been continuously subjected to public opinion attacks, with the core reason being that OpenClaw adheres to a neutral public welfare nature, does not participate in token pumping, does not pursue commercial profits, differentiating itself from profit-driven AI agent products in the industry.The project maintains neutrality in both industry and geopolitics. It is precisely because its own development has touched upon the interests of peers that it has been deliberately smeared. Meanwhile, the official team refuted various accusations one by one, including being bloated, lacking security, and being acquired by OpenAI. They also introduced facts such as architectural optimization, rapid vulnerability fixes, and the team's unpaid open-source operation and maintenance. The project is defined as the people's AI, calling on the community to jointly build an open-source AI ecosystem.
Circle Chief Strategy Officer Dante Disparte responded to the major security breach affecting Drift Protocol on April 1, which resulted in over $270 million in stolen funds. He stated that open financial systems must be built upon foundations of legal accountability, shared security, and rules that evolve in real time with emerging threats. Circle freezes USDC funds only when legally required—a measure reflecting its compliance obligations and safeguarding users’ assets and privacy rights. He emphasized that openness and accountability must be balanced, and all participants across the ecosystem—including protocols, wallets, infrastructure providers, exchanges, and stablecoin issuers—must jointly shoulder responsibility for security and accountability. Circle is collaborating with U.S. and international policymakers to advance stablecoin legislation, including the GENIUS Act, to establish a more modern legal framework enabling lawful, rapid intervention against illicit activities while protecting property rights and privacy—ensuring the continued resilience and robust growth of open financial systems.
