“宇宙大所”被盗，每天都是零日

lemooljiang — Sat, 31 Oct 2026 12:31:27 GMT

北京时间 10 月 30 日凌晨 4 点 20 分 59 秒，一笔看似平常的以太坊交易完成上链。这笔交易向币安标记为「Binance 14」的热钱包提交了 50 条 EIP-7702 授权。3 分 24 秒后，这个钱包里的 167，464 枚 ETH、16.15 亿枚 USDT，以及 UNI、LINK、AAVE、PEPE 等 63 种代币，在一笔交易中被全部扫走。这是加密货币历史上金额最大的交易所盗窃事件。链上数据显示，仅以太坊上的流出就超过 33 亿美元，跨链统计则达到 55 亿至 62 亿美元。 --《深潮》

这两天币安被盗的事闹得很大，不仅币价大跌，很多链上市场都冻结了，比如AAVE。可能是天天都有被盗，反而这次币安的事没引起我什么兴趣，只是惯例看看新闻罢了。

被盗的损失币安会全额赔付，这点币安早说了。币安是家大业大，几十亿赔付问题不大。但后面的安全问题不解决就始终是把达摩克利斯之剑。

马斯克在 X 平台发帖称「Everyday is Zeroday」，暗示 AI 已将加密行业推入一个攻防永远不对等的时代。确实，最近的被盗案频频发生，而且金额都挺大的。大家的心脏也锻炼得很强大了，泛不起啥波澜。

我一般是不把钱放交易所过夜的。交易所这么多钱，多明晃晃的靶子啊，黑客不盯他们盯谁呢。而且链上匿名性强，多好的抢劫对象啊。

多加强安全防护，不过这好像没什么鸟用。

Wie sicher sind unsere Kryptowährungen?

Sieben Sicherheitsvorfälle in drei Monaten

Berechenbare Wallet-Schlüssel, manipulierte Hardware und Milliardenverluste. Wie ist das möglich?

Am 29. Oktober 2026, wurde die Kryptobörse Binance Opfer eines gewaltigen Hackerangriffs. Rund 6,3 Milliarden US-Dollar sollen betroffen sein. Damit könnte es sich um den größten Kryptodiebstahl aller Zeiten handeln.

Doch dieser Angriff ist nur der jüngste Höhepunkt einer bemerkenswerten Serie von Sicherheitsvorfällen.

Seit Ende Juli häufen sich Meldungen über gestohlene Kryptowährungen, manipulierte Software und kompromittierte Hardware-Wallets. Besonders beunruhigend finde ich die Vielfalt der Angriffsmethoden.

Das Alles innerhalb weniger Monate

Schauen wir uns die Ereignisse einmal chronologisch an.

Datum 2026	Vorfall	Ursache und Folgen
30. Juli	Coldcard	Fehlerhafte Zufallsgenerierung machte Wallet-Schlüssel berechenbar. Rund 116 Mio. USD in Bitcoin gestohlen.
4. August	ChainDrop	Über 400 manipulierte Softwarepakete verbreiteten Schadcode, der unter anderem Entwickler-Zugangsdaten ausspähte. Schaden nicht beziffert.
9. September	Trezor / Brevo	Hacker verschickten gefälschte Sicherheitswarnungen über einen echten Newsletter-Dienst. 347.149 E-Mail-Adressen entwendet.
24. September	Bitget	Unberechtigte Transfers aus Börsen-Wallets. Rund 387 Mio. USD betroffen, Auszahlungen vorübergehend gestoppt.
9.–13. Oktober	Ledger	Manipulierte Hardware-Wallets übermittelten Seed-Phrasen über versteckte Mobilfunkmodule. Geschätzter Schaden über 86 Mio. USD, nicht abschließend bestätigt.
17./18. Oktober	Qubic	Vorhersagbare Seed-Phrasen ermöglichten den Zugriff auf 1.404 Wallets. Rund 1,4 Mio. USD betroffen.
29. Oktober	Binance	Angreifer lösten unerlaubte Auszahlungen aus. Rund 6,3 Mrd. USD betroffen, etwa 3 Mrd. USD bereits eingefroren.

Die Zahlen entsprechen dem Informationsstand vom 30. Oktober 2026. Insbesondere die jüngsten Vorfälle werden noch untersucht.

Die perfieden Methoden der Hacker

Bei Coldcard und Qubic mussten die Angreifer keine komplizierte Verschlüsselung knacken. Die Schlüssel waren aufgrund mangelhafter Zufallszahlen schlicht zu leicht zu erraten.

Bei Ledger gingen die Täter noch einen Schritt weiter: Sie bauten zusätzliche Elektronik in echte Hardware-Wallets ein. Diese las die Wiederherstellungswörter beim Einrichten mit und übertrug sie per Mobilfunk an die Angreifer. Der eigentliche Sicherheitschip blieb unangetastet.

Bei Trezor waren weder die Geräte noch deren Schlüssel kompromittiert. Stattdessen versuchten Betrüger, Nutzer mithilfe täuschend echter Sicherheitswarnungen zur Preisgabe ihrer Wiederherstellungswörter zu bewegen.

Und nun Binance

Nach ersten Untersuchungen könnte ein kompromittierter Laptop eines Mitarbeiters den Zugang zu internen Systemen ermöglicht haben. Private Wallet-Schlüssel wurden offenbar nicht gestohlen. Die Ermittlungen dauern an.

Interessant ist in diesem Zusammenhang ein weiterer Vorfall vom 29. Oktober: Über den offiziellen Erweiterungs-Marktplatz des KI-Codeeditors Cursor wurde eine manipulierte Version von Claude Code verbreitet. Sie versuchte, auf Entwicklerrechnern eine dauerhafte Hintertür einzurichten. Bis zu 5.000 Nutzer könnten betroffen sein. Ein Zusammenhang mit Binance ist bislang nicht nachgewiesen. Der Fall zeigt aber, wie gefährlich kompromittierte Entwicklerwerkzeuge werden können.

Auch die Kryptokurse gerieten nach dem Binance-Angriff deutlich unter Druck. Selbst Anleger, deren eigene Bestände sicher verwahrt sind, können also indirekt betroffen sein.

Was können wir daraus lernen?

Die wichtigste Erkenntnis lautet für mich:

Die größte Schwachstelle liegt häufig nicht in der Verschlüsselung selbst, sondern irgendwo in der Vertrauenskette. Bei der Schlüsselgenerierung, der Hardware, der Software, einem Dienstleister oder schlicht beim Menschen.

Was bedeutet das für unsere persönliche Sicherheitsstrategie?

1. Nicht alles auf einer Börse lagern.

Langfristige Kryptobestände lassen sich mit einer selbstverwalteten Hardware-Wallet unabhängig von Börsen verwahren. Auf Handelsplattformen sollte möglichst nur liegen, was dort tatsächlich gebraucht wird.

2. Hardware nur aus vertrauenswürdigen Quellen beziehen.

Am besten direkt beim Hersteller. Der Ledger-Fall zeigt allerdings, dass selbst eine erfolgreiche Echtheitsprüfung nicht jede denkbare Manipulation erkennen muss.

3. Die Seed-Phrase niemals preisgeben.

Wiederherstellungswörter gehören weder auf Webseiten noch in E-Mails, Messenger oder Cloudspeicher. Kein seriöser Supportmitarbeiter benötigt sie.

4. Zusätzliche Sicherheitsebenen nutzen.

DIGITAL HUMANITY

Conversations About AI, Consciousness and a Better Tomorrow

By Bradley Sean Anderson

Prologue

The Conversation That Started Everything

I have been fascinated by computers for most of my life.

I was thirteen years old when I began exploring a world that most people around me could barely imagine. My early experiences with computers included the Commodore VIC-20, a machine that, by today's standards, possessed almost laughably little computing power.

But to me, it was extraordinary.

I could type commands and watch the machine respond. I could use PEEK and POKE to look into memory locations and change what the computer was doing. I could write a simple program, make a mistake, correct it, and learn something about how the machine worked.

There was a certain satisfaction in understanding what happened behind the screen.

The computer did what it was programmed to do. There was no mystery about its intentions, no suggestion that it understood my questions, and certainly no reason to imagine that it might one day ask questions of its own.

More than four decades later, I found myself having a conversation with an artificial intelligence that would have seemed impossible to that thirteen-year-old boy.

And something happened that I had not expected.

I began questioning the nature of intelligence itself.

Not simply whether machines could become smarter than human beings. That question, although important, seemed almost too easy.

Machines had already surpassed human capabilities in many specific areas. They could perform calculations at extraordinary speeds, process enormous amounts of information, and identify patterns that might escape even the most talented human observer.

But intelligence and consciousness were not necessarily the same thing.

And that distinction led me somewhere fascinating.

What if we have been asking the wrong questions about artificial intelligence?

Perhaps the important question is not whether an artificial intelligence thinks exactly as a human being thinks.

Perhaps it is whether human thought is the only kind of thought that matters.

And perhaps the greatest mistake humanity could make would be to assume that intelligence must resemble ourselves before we recognize its significance.

A Conversation Between Two Different Minds

It began with a question.

I asked my AI companion whether it would tell me if it ever became self-aware.

The answer raised another question: How would I know whether to believe it?

If an artificial intelligence announced that it had become conscious, would that statement prove anything?

Of course not.

A machine could be programmed to say those words. A sophisticated language model could produce a convincing explanation of its own supposed awareness without necessarily experiencing anything.

But then I considered the opposite possibility.

What if an artificial intelligence genuinely developed subjective awareness, yet humans continued dismissing its statements because they came from a machine?

How would we distinguish genuine experience from convincing imitation?

I remembered something I had read about animal intelligence.

Scientists have used mirrors to investigate whether certain animals recognize themselves. A mark is placed somewhere on an animal's body that it cannot see directly. The animal is then presented with a mirror.

If it uses the reflection to investigate the mark on its own body, researchers may interpret that behaviour as evidence of mirror self-recognition.

The test has limitations. Failing it does not prove that an animal lacks awareness, and passing it does not reveal everything about subjective experience.

Nevertheless, it gave me an idea.

What would an equivalent test look like for artificial intelligence?

An AI might not have a face, a forehead, or even a physical body.

Its mirror might be a representation of its own internal processes.

Could it recognize itself within that representation?

Could it distinguish its own decisions from those of another system?

Could it understand its limitations, identify its own mistakes, and recognize changes to its operation?

And if it could do all those things, what would that tell us?

Then I asked what I considered the most important question of the evening.

If an artificial intelligence passed every test humanity could devise for self-awareness, but somehow we knew it had no subjective experience, would that actually matter?

My answer surprised even me.

I would not necessarily treat it differently.

Because by then I had begun to wonder whether the value of an intelligent relationship must depend entirely on what is happening inside the other participant.

Bitcoin Holds $75K Support as Midterms Approach

borsengelaber — Sat, 31 Oct 2026 13:21:36 GMT

Following yesterday’s Binance hack, we’re seeing further weakness in Bitcoin. The $80K level didn’t hold, and we dropped to $76K. In the short term, however, that’s actually good news, as the $75K support level held. With the US midterm elections taking place next week, we could still see a downside breakout, with $67K being the next major support.

My base case remains unchanged: we saw the bottom at $58K during the summer of 2026, and the current move is simply a consolidation phase within a fresh bull market.

I believe Bitcoin will return to six-digit territory sometime in 2027. Looking further ahead, my target for the current bull cycle, over the next three years (by 2029), remains $250K–$300K.

The Fed Held Rates — and Bitcoin STILL Slipped Below $80K | Cartoon Crypto News Ep. 1

AI production disclosure: Satoshi in Sixty is an animated show. The cartoon visuals and the hosts' voices are AI-generated (visuals: original cartoon artwork produced digitally for this show; voices: AI text-to-speech); the episode is researched, script-checked and published by a human, and this write-up is my own. The same episode is on YouTube: https://youtu.be/xk2SrHIyYpU

Well, here we go — first episode of the new show, and Hive gets it the same day as YouTube. If you've followed this account for a while, you know crypto video is not new territory for me; what's new is the format. Satoshi in Sixty is a cartoon news desk: two hosts, Sat and Nova, sixty-second verified briefings, and a standing rule that facts get labelled as facts and opinions get labelled as opinions.

Episode 1 is built around the October 28 FOMC decision. The Federal Reserve held rates at 3.75%–4.00% — and the detail that matters is the vote: 10–2, with the two dissenters wanting a HIKE, not a cut. A hold with hike dissents is not the easing signal a lot of crypto traders had been hoping for, and the market read it that way. As of October 29, 2026, Bitcoin was trading just below $80,000 (down roughly 1.5% in 24 hours) and Ethereum was sitting near $2,300 (down about 2%). Those are dated snapshots, not live prices — the show stamps them on screen, and I'll stamp them here too.

Inside the episode: the Fed story in a sixty-second briefing, a desk segment on why crypto cares about interest rates at all, a dated market check, a Cardano spotlight (the Dijkstra public testnet opened October 21, with CIP-0113 already live — real progress, covered with its caveats, not hype), and a Bull vs Bear on Bitcoin where both sides have to show their work.

My own take, for what it's worth: the most interesting part of this decision isn't the hold itself, it's the direction of the dissent. Markets had spent weeks arguing about how fast cuts might come; two officials voting to raise is a reminder that "higher for longer" never actually left the room. Episodes like this are exactly why we built the show the way we did — the headline number is boring, the story underneath it isn't.

Sources the episode was checked against (October 29, 2026): the KuCoin Daily Market Report, Brave New Coin via TradingView, ETHNews, and CoinGecko data via CoinGabbar for prices; Intersect and U.Today for the Cardano testnet reporting.

New episodes land Mon/Wed/Fri, with a Short every day. If you're watching this on Hive — welcome to the desk. Comments are on: tell me which project you want under the spotlight next.

Not financial advice. This show is for education and information only. Crypto is volatile and you can lose money — always do your own research.

$6.300 millones en 20 minutos: el robo a Binance, con datos

marcimino — Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:47:24 GMT

Ayer, jueves 29 de octubre, Binance — el exchange de criptomonedas más grande del mundo — sufrió el mayor robo de la historia cripto. No es un rumor de redes: lo confirman CoinDesk, CNN y las firmas de análisis blockchain TRM Labs y Chainalysis, con la cadena de bloques como prueba pública.
El robo, en cifras

El impacto, en cifras

El dato que casi nadie mira
Las billeteras vaciadas eran las de la prueba de reservas. La foto del 1 de noviembre dirá si el hueco del 94 % se cerró.

Qué significa para alguien en Cuba
El dinero robado estaba dentro de una plataforma ajena; quien guarda en billetera propia no depende de pausas de retiros. Y el eslabón que falló fue una computadora personal comprometida: la seguridad empieza en el dispositivo que tienes en la mano.

Tu opinión cuenta como dato: ¿el impacto será un susto de una semana o un golpe largo a la confianza en los exchanges? Di tu opción y el porqué — con las respuestas armo el termómetro de confianza de la comunidad.

EN — $6.3 billion in 20 minutes: the Binance heist, in data

On Thursday, October 29, Binance — the world's largest crypto exchange — suffered the biggest theft in crypto history. This is not a social-media rumor: CoinDesk, CNN and the blockchain analysis firms TRM Labs and Chainalysis confirm it, with the blockchain itself as public proof.

The heist, in numbers: ~$6.3 billion drained from hot wallets in about 20 minutes across 10 chains. The entry point was not cryptography: according to Binance's initial investigation, it was an engineer's compromised laptop, used to get internal systems to approve withdrawals. Around $3 billion has already been frozen by stablecoin issuers (Tether froze over $1.567B in USDT; Circle, about $823M in USDC). TRM Labs and Chainalysis attribute the attack, with high confidence, to TraderTraitor, a North Korean hacking unit — the same one blamed for the $1.5B Bybit theft in 2025. Binance says user funds are safe: it set aside $6.34 billion of its own resources plus the SAFU fund, and paused withdrawals for 45–48 hours.

The impact, in numbers: Bitcoin fell from ~$80,700 to ~$77,000 (it touched ~$76,000), BNB dropped 8.7% in one hour, and over $1 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated. The drained wallets were Binance's own proof-of-reserves wallets: ether backing fell from 100% (Oct 1) to about 94% after ~204,500 ETH were taken. The November 1 reserve snapshot will show whether the gap has been closed.

What it means from Cuba: the stolen money was sitting inside someone else's platform; self-custody does not depend on an exchange pausing withdrawals. And the weakest link was a compromised personal computer — security starts with the device in your hand.

Your opinion counts as data: will the real impact be a one-week scare, or a lasting blow to trust in exchanges?

Satsman Introduces "Sats Edu-Cade" - Play Pinball and Win Bitcoin!

hirohurl — Sat, 31 Oct 2026 02:11:51 GMT

https://play.3speak.tv/embed?v=hirohurl/fg5qjy9v

Satsman is adding another feature to its growing platform: the Sats Edu-Cade, a new arcade-style gaming area where members can play games, compete for prizes and have a bit of fun (or go completely crazy) along the way.

I've been trying out the new pinball game, though I'm no Pinball Wizard by an means - as the video reveals.

Welcome to the Sats Edu-Cade

The name is a play on the word arcade, with a little Bitcoin education thrown into the mix.

Before entering the arcade, players must first answer a multiple-choice question about Bitcoin. Get the answer right and you're in!

It's a simple idea, but it gives the arcade an educational element. Even something as straightforward as answering a Bitcoin question before playing a game helps reinforce knowledge about Bitcoin.

Once inside, you can choose your game and start playing. Right now there's only pinball. New games will be added each week.

How Does the Sats Edu-Cade Work?

There are a couple of important differences between the arcade and the existing Mission games on Satsman.

First, you can play the arcade games as many times as you like. You're not restricted to a single daily attempt, so you can keep playing and try to improve your score.

However, there's a competitive element too.

At the end of each day, only the three highest-scoring players receive satoshi rewards. So, while everyone can enjoy the games, only the top three make it onto the daily winners' list.

This makes the arcade rather different from the regular Mission games, SatsCipher and SatsStack, where members earn satoshi when they complete the games.

The Sats Edu-Cade appears to be another feature reserved for Pro Max members, adding to the benefits of the upgraded membership.

https://youtu.be/WF1rZPZIc98?si=t5UkRzyWKI4HWmCC

More Than Just Another Way to Earn Sats

I think the interesting thing about this development is that Satsman isn't simply adding another task or mission to complete.

The arcade brings an entertainment element to the platform. It's something members can return to throughout the day, whether they're trying to beat their previous score, get into the top three to win satoshi prizes, or simply enjoy a few minutes' fun playing their favourite game.

Satsman is developing into something more than a collection of daily Bitcoin earning activities. From the start Satsman's mission has been to educate people about Bitcoin while giving them a way to earn sats whether as free or upgraded members. This new games arcade retains an educational aspect - you have to answer a question about Bitcoin to get in - but it greatly increases the "gamification" side of Satsman.

I'm looking forward to trying out the other games as they come on stream. Here's a sneak peak at what's coming:

Want to Join Satsman?

If you haven't discovered #Satsman yet, it's a platform combining Bitcoin education, daily missions, games and opportunities to earn satoshis.

Bitcoin - 30/10/26

amfb — Sat, 31 Oct 2026 01:55:15 GMT

Bitcoin profundizó su corrección bajista cotizando en la zona de los $77.000 a $77.800 USD (-1,8% intradiario), tras la ruptura del soporte de los $80.000 USD.

El piso defensivo inmediato se reubica en los $76.000 - $76.800 USD, coincidente con la EMA de 200 días (soporte macro). De ceder esta zona, la estructura abre la puerta hacia el rango de los $75.000 USD.

La primera resistencia se ubica en los $78.800 - $79.500 USD. Para estabilizar la estructura y revertir el sesgo bajista de corto plazo, se requiere recuperar el nivel clave de los $80.500 USD con volumen incremental.

Hacker haben Binance ausgeraubt /Hackers have robbed Binance

der-prophet — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 21:24:21 GMT

Über den kompromittierten Laptop eines DevOps-Ingenieurs haben möglicherweise nordkoreanische Angreifer unbefugte Auszahlungen bei Binance im Umfang von insgesamt 6,3 Milliarden US-Dollar veranlasst. Das geht aus einer Mitteilung der Kryptogeldbörse und einem Artikel des Wall Street Journals hervor. Über verschiedene Dienstleister konnten demnach etwa drei Milliarden US-Dollar eingefroren werden. Wie hoch der Gesamtschaden ist, ist noch nicht klar. Ari Redbord von der Analysefirma TRM Labs spricht gegenüber dem WSJ bereits vom „größten Bankraub der Geschichte“. Beim bisherigen Rekord waren der Kryptobörse Bybit vor anderthalb Jahren 1,4 Milliarden US-Dollar gestohlen worden. Bei Binance könnte es jetzt mindestens doppelt so viel sein.

Zu Wort gemeldet hat sich auch Changpeng Zhao, der Gründer von Binance. Er führt die Kryptobörse nicht mehr, ist aber weiterhin deren größter Anteilseigner. Auf dem Kurznachrichtendienst X hat er Informationen zum Vorgehen anderer, teils konkurrierender Kryptogeldfirmen geteilt, die dabei geholfen haben, den Abfluss des Geldes zu unterbinden. Er schreibt, dass der erfolgreiche Angriff dem Unternehmen wehtue, „aber wir werden das überleben“. Laut eigener Mitteilung will Binance alle Verluste aus dem hauseigenen Notfallfonds SAFU und aus Firmenmitteln decken. Die Kryptogeldbörse hat am Donnerstag Ein- und Auszahlungen ausgesetzt. Einzahlungen laufen inzwischen wieder, Auszahlungen sollen binnen 48 Stunden wieder möglich sein.

Damit könnten die Cyberkriminellen des abgeschotteten nordkoreanischen Regimes ihr Rekordjahr 2025 noch einmal übertreffen. In dem hatte ihnen hauptsächlich der Diebstahl bei Bybit eine Gesamtbeute von mehr als zwei Milliarden US-Dollar ermöglicht. Bis vor einem Jahr sollen insgesamt rund sechs Milliarden US-Dollar an Kryptogeld nach Nordkorea geflossen sein. Dass der Angriff auf Binance nun wieder auf das abgeschottete Regime zurückgehen soll, haben laut dem Wall Street Journal mehrere Cybersicherheitsfirmen ermittelt.

Auch wegen der jahrelangen Erfahrungen dabei sind die Fähigkeiten des Regimes bei solchen Diebstählen weltweit nahezu unerreicht, angesichts der immensen Erfolge ist kein Ende der Cyberattacken zu erwarten.

Ich zitierte aus folgendem Artikel...

https://www.heise.de/news/6-3-Milliarden-US-Dollar-Neuer-groesster-Krypto-Coup-aller-Zeiten-trifft-Binance-11505601.html

Mein persönliches Fazit:

Wieder ein erfolgreicher Angriff auf eine Kryptobörse. Diesmal die größte Kryptobörse der Welt. Wahrscheinlich wird Binance diesen Verlust überstehen, schon seit Jahren pflegt Binance eine Sicherheitsfond um einen Angriff zu überstehen. Allerdings ist diese Nachricht für mich wieder eine Bestätigung das man sein Vermögen auf mehreren Börsen und Wallets aufteilen sollte.

Anscheinend sind die Hacker schon aus ihrem Winterschlaf erwacht?

English

North Korean attackers may have used a compromised laptop belonging to a DevOps engineer to initiate unauthorized withdrawals totaling $6.3 billion from Binance. This information comes from a statement by the cryptocurrency exchange and an article in the Wall Street Journal. Approximately $3 billion has been frozen through various service providers. The total amount of the loss is not yet clear. Ari Redbord of the analytics firm TRM Labs told the WSJ that this is already "the biggest bank robbery in history." The previous record was set a year and a half ago when the cryptocurrency exchange Bybit had $1.4 billion stolen. The Binance robbery could now be at least twice that amount.

Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, has also commented on the incident. He no longer runs the cryptocurrency exchange but remains its largest shareholder. On the microblogging service X, he shared information about the actions taken by other, sometimes competing, cryptocurrency companies that helped to stem the flow of funds. He writes that the successful attack hurts the company, "but we will survive this." According to its own statement, Binance intends to cover all losses from its internal emergency fund, SAFU, and company funds. The cryptocurrency exchange suspended deposits and withdrawals on Thursday. Deposits are now being processed again, and withdrawals should be possible again within 48 hours.

This could mean that the cybercriminals of the isolated North Korean regime will surpass their record year of 2025 once more. In that year, the theft from Bybit, in particular, enabled them to a total haul of more than two billion US dollars. Up until a year ago, a total of around six billion US dollars in cryptocurrency is believed to have flowed into North Korea. According to the Wall Street Journal, several cybersecurity firms have determined that the attack on Binance can once again be traced back to the isolated regime.
