BREAKING: LEDGER USERS REPORT $86 MILLION IN STOLEN FUNDS
On-chain investigator Specter reports that hundreds of wallets belonging to Ledger users have been drained of more than $86 million across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and TRON.
Specter has identified 10 addresses allegedly receiving stolen funds, including one Bitcoin address reportedly receiving more than 211 BTC.
Some victims claim their recovery phrases were stored offline and their hardware wallets had not been used to authorize transactions.
The cause remains unknown. There is currently no confirmation that Ledger hardware devices or Ledger Live have been compromised.
Ledger users should remain vigilant, avoid suspicious links, and never enter their recovery phrases into websites or applications.
We are monitoring the situation.
There have been a reports on X and Reddit of wallet-draining by Ledger users.
I traced the theft addresses and identified inflows from more hundreds of victim wallets across several major blockchains, including Ethereum, TRON, and Bitcoin.
Total losses $86M+

A Stanford professor took two average stocks, rebalanced them daily, and turned $100,000 into $7 million without predicting a single price.

Last 24 hours have been insane.
1. Prem Router has processed 1B+ tokens via Kimi K3
2. We’ve partnered with 27+ bitcoin teams to run security audits on their codebase
3. We've helped find 3 critical vulnerabilities that could have been catastrophic
While we’re still catching up with demand, if you or a project you know need access to frontier intelligence, we're still accepting requests.
Thank you for all your support.

Security Notice
Alert to Nostr users who have signed into our app, Bitcoin Quest, using Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC):
A vulnerability has been exposed, and you should rotate your connection string secret by generating a new NWC URI from your wallet app.
This is a precaution because the secret is visible to whoever operates the relay endpoint in the NWC URI. We recommend rotating your secret to be on the safe side.
We caught this vulnerability during a Kimi K3 audit of our code and have already patched it so nothing like this will happen again.
We’re always doing our best to make sure our app is secure, and we apologize this happened. The broader industry is on high alert right now for obvious reasons. If you’re running code, audit it with multiple frontier AI models as soon as possible, especially if you control user funds, which we do not on Bitcoin Quest.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at [email protected].
Thank you.

>attackers now iterate faster than a team our size can find and patch
>What we are seeing is a major paradigm shift for Bitcoin services operating on an open source stack, and it needs careful analysis.
Update: Boltz will stay disabled until further notice.
Our API remains available to process refunds cooperatively. In any case, unilateral refunds will work, as they do not depend on our infrastructure.
Our support team stays reachable.
To be clear: this is not a response to a single incident. Over the past months we have seen a steady rise in automated, AI-assisted probing of our infrastructure, and we have dealt with several exploits. Each was contained, but the pattern is clear: attackers now iterate faster than a team our size can find and patch. In the past few days alone we saw a drastic acceleration, and we do not believe this asymmetry will reverse. After reviewing the results of our own recent security scans, we cannot responsibly re-enable Boltz swaps, especially as we are being actively targeted by what appear to be multiple resourceful groups while we race to deploy fixes.
What we are seeing is a major paradigm shift for Bitcoin services operating on an open source stack, and it needs careful analysis. Do not expect swap services to resume shortly.
To be explicit: no user funds were ever at risk. Boltz is non-custodial by design. And as a fully bootstrapped company, the losses were ours alone.
We don't know yet how things will continue from here, but we'll keep you posted as soon as we have had the time to catch our breath and make a decision 🙏

The bitcoin network is a huge, directly-monetizable hacker honeypot; this is just an inherent reality of decentralized, permissionless, open source money.

in 2013, Gross emails Epstein about a new currency idea.
from 2011 through February 2014, Elkus and Gross' clearstone ventures employed Brock Pierce and William Quigley to run an online gaming fund.
in October 2014, Pierce (with Quigley and others) launched what became Tether.

Trump just pardoned the Soros pal who "broke the bank of England" with Soros (and current Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent) for a financial crime he pled guilty to.
Lewis is part of what the NYT once called a currency trading (and manipulating) "cabal" that also included Jimmy Goldsmith, arguably Epstein's first major contact in the world of elite finance back in the early 1970s. (Epstein was arguably part of this cabal after the NYT wrote them in the mid-1990s, given the multiple attestations to his abilities in "currency stabilization" and the reverse and currency trading in general)
I first wrote about Lewis years ago (2019) because he has created his own de facto state in El Bolsón, Argentina, where he has bought out the local government and has his staff regularly threaten to kill (and has nearly succeeded) locals if they try and access the public lake his mansion borders. However, according to sources I spoke with when I traveled there to report about it for MintPress, he allows IDF soldiers on vacation in South America to access the lake and his property, they brag about it in local hostals.
He also owns an airstrip that the Argentine govt oddly has no oversight of what comes in or out and locals who suggested planes were using it to make suspect trips to the Falkland Islands ended up having their living room shot up.
In addition, he is a close business associate of Marcelo Mindlin, who long with Eduardo Elzstain, are the men Soros hand-picked to run his Argentine interests until they parted ways a few years ago. Mindlin and Lewis jointly control most of Argentina's power grid and Elzstain is one of the biggest forces in real estate and banking as well as the host of the Llao Llao Forum, where Argentine business elites meet behind closed doors (like a South American WEF). Elzstain and Mindlin are interestingly BIG Javier Milei backers. Maybe something to think about given that a long-time Soros associate now running the Treasury Department wants to use billions in taxpayer funds to keep him afloat.
It's not "America First" it's "Criminal Banker Syndicate First"

It truly is a blessing that by a rule of thumb, the dumbest people in this space have somehow managed to acquire the most followers, so let me set this straight:
It has not been previously known that Epstein directly funded the Digital Chrrency Initiative.
It has also not been known that the money “gifted” by Epstein was directly used to fund Bitcoin Core developers, filling in for the Bitcoin Foundation - as detailed in the emails, which Nic clearly did not choose to read before commenting.
What *has* been known is that Epstein donated to the Media Lab - with connections to the DCI merely *suspected*.
The moral of this story is dont believe retarded influencers who told you to buy BlockFi. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
🚨NEW: EMAILS REVEAL JEFFREY EPSTEIN MONEY FINANCED BITCOIN CORE DEVELOPMENT
“Used gift funds to underwrite this which allowed us to move quickly and win this round. Thanks,” Media Lab Director Joi Ito wrote Epstein in an email titled DCI.

As @SimonDixonTwitt says it best, people's concerns are about the clear signs of how the Proof Of Weapons network might be influencing Bitcoin's development through Core.
If you fell into the Knots vs Core tribalistic discourse, you were highly mislead.
