Google’s new Willow quantum processor has reignited discussions around blockchain security and their ability to withstand rapid advancements.
A team of cybersecurity researchers at Stony Brook University has uncovered a new way for scammers to steal from unsuspecting cryptocurrency users. They have posted a paper to the arXiv preprint server describing the new crypto scam and how users can protect themselves.
Cryptocurrency is a type of digital currency run on a secure online platform. One example is Coinbase. Crypto currency is stored in a crypto wallet. In this new study, the team in New York reports that scammers have found a way to get people to redirect crypto payments away from intended recipients and toward wallets held by the scammers.
The researchers call the scam typosquatting. It involves setting up Blockchain Naming Systems (BNS) domain names that are similar to those used by well-known entities. It exploits the use of simple word-based addresses rather than the complicated and hard-to-remember letter and digit codes commonly associated with crypto wallets.
🚀 Q: How might Trump’s administration impact AI development in the US? A: Trump aims to make America “first in AI” by dismantling Biden’s policy framework and reducing government regulation, potentially leading to skyrocketing growth in AI, cryptocurrencies, blockchain, Web3, and augmented reality.
🔓 Q: What’s J.D. Vance’s stance on AI development? A: Trump’s potential VP J.D. Vance supports open source AI and decentralized power, aiming to prevent large tech companies from steering regulation and allowing smaller innovators to compete.

A blockchain entrepreneur, a cinematographer, a polar adventurer and a robotics researcher plan to fly around Earth’s poles aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule by end of year, becoming the first humans to observe the ice caps and extreme polar environments from orbit, SpaceX announced Monday.
The historic flight, launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, will be commanded by Chun Wang, a wealthy bitcoin pioneer who founded f2pool and stakefish, “which are among the largest Bitcoin mining pools and Ethereum staking providers,” the crew’s website says.
“Wang aims to use the mission to highlight the crew’s explorational spirit, bring a sense of wonder and curiosity to the larger public and highlight how technology can help push the boundaries of exploration of Earth and through the mission’s research,” SpaceX said on its web site.
