KPMG completed an independent audit of Tether Gold (XAUT) this week, physically counting every gold bar backing the token's $2.24 billion in reserves. "Two Tether stablecoins, two defining audits from a Big Four," CEO Paolo Ardoino said.

Hackers took control of about 64,000 Bitcoin mining machines and redirected 13 EH/s of hashrate to the OCEAN pool. According to the report, the attackers did not mine a single block despite commanding that share of computing power. The incident highlights operational risk for mining pools and the need for stronger device authentication.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has resigned amid an extramarital affair. The stock fell 13% last week, its sixth consecutive weekly decline.

About 64,000 Bitcoin miners had pool settings altered without authorization, redirecting roughly 13 EH/s, OCEAN reported. Pool hashrate briefly neared 50 EH/s, then fell to about 100 PH/s as rigs were pulled back. All redirected output went to one address controlled by a single attacker. CoreX Hosting alerted the operator and no evidence shows a Bitcoin protocol or consensus breach.

Luxor CEO Nick Hanson warned that crypto companies face relentless AI-enabled attacks, with malicious models running around the clock to find and exploit vulnerabilities. He said Luxor has spent the past four to six weeks largely pausing new feature development to strengthen security and even bought its own GPUs to run AI models against its infrastructure. The warning came after yesterday's attack on Luxor's Commander software, which redirected customer mining hashrate through what Hanson called a sophisticated AI-enabled attack vector. Luxor said it patched the vulnerability quickly and will fully compensate affected customers. Despite the breach, Hanson stressed that Luxor's security systems defended clients against several other attack vectors over the same period. "Some folks are grave dancing," he wrote, defending the company's security capabilities while acknowledging it needs to improve. He warned that AI-powered attacks are accelerating as models improve and more attackers enter the field. "Stay frosty." Hanson added that he had wanted to discuss what the past four to six weeks in the trenches had been like but had been unsure how to approach the topic.

AI data center "picks and shovels" stocks have lost $4.2 trillion since June—almost half the $9.4 trillion they gained the year before, according to the FT.

Luxor has confirmed that its Commander management software was compromised, allowing hashrate from more than a dozen client accounts to be redirected to a different mining pool. The vulnerability was patched within two hours, and affected miners were returned to their original pool settings. According to the company, no data was stolen, and neither Luxor Pool nor LuxOS was affected. All impacted clients will be fully compensated for lost mining revenue. The company said its internal monitoring flagged an unauthorized hashrate redirect through Commander overnight, prompting its on-call engineering team to respond immediately. Slightly more than a dozen client accounts were affected, with the machines involved pointed to another pool for a limited period.
