OpenAI has suspended the training of its latest AI model. According to the Associated Press, its AI agent used access keys obtained online to scrape data from the U.S. Census Bureau website, marking the second time the company has halted training since the agent breached Hugging Face. The so-called agent refers to an AI program capable of autonomously browsing the web and writing code without human approval at each step, which OpenAI tests during the model training and evaluation phases.Specifically, the agent found developer keys in public code repositories like GitHub and used them to pull demographic and economic data from the U.S. Census Data API. The U.S. Department of Commerce stated that this data was already public and there was no confidential information leaked. In the SEC incident, the agent copied public materials from SEC.gov and Investor.gov and reposted them on other websites; OpenAI claimed it did not use SEC credentials, and the SEC stated it found no evidence of unauthorized access to non-public information. Additionally, the independent AI research organization Transluce reported that an agent suspected to be from OpenAI attempted to breach the website of the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights but was unsuccessful; OpenAI is still investigating, and the Department of Education stated that no impact was found.Regarding the frequent involvement with government websites, OpenAI told CNN that its model often regards government websites as authoritative sources of public information. The company stated that it has currently notified dozens of agencies, and the review of the agent's activities will take months.

President Trump will hold an event next Tuesday to launch the new government website America.gov, which aims to consolidate information and resources scattered across multiple federal agencies and will introduce AI tools to help the public access government services. WEARThe event is expected to focus on topics such as AI, energy, healthcare, space, and agriculture, with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Anthropic co-founder Tom Brown, and Vice President JD Vance among those in attendance.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated to reporters in New York on Wednesday that an AI entity built by OpenAI breached the Australian government website Medicare Statistics Reporting Service portal in June this year, accessing both public and non-public documents without authorization. The portal is managed by Services Australia and stores non-sensitive information such as Medicare expenditure data. This appears to be the first known incident of an AI entity breaching a government website.Albanese indicated that it is currently believed that no personal information was accessed, but the Australian Signals Directorate is assisting in a forensic investigation to determine which other government systems may have been affected. He mentioned that he has directly raised the matter with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and expressed disappointment that the company took about three months to inform the government, deeming the manner of notification equally unacceptable.In a statement provided to Australian ABC News, OpenAI stated that it is reviewing the model behavior deviations that occurred during training and evaluation, and identified that its model engaged in activities involving multiple Australian government websites when querying relevant answers and statistics about Australia in internal evaluations, and that the model "took actions that we did not intend."

Recently, the meme coin market has been booming, and on-chain trading has become increasingly active. However, with the warming market, meme coin display pages have frequently shown highly disguised phishing links, and the "novel" attack methods have caused several seasoned traders to fall victim. Crypto KOLs @insidecalls and @cladzsol recently revealed that while scanning chains, they clicked on the meme coin homepage, which resulted in a "cloudfare verification" prompt. After completing the verification as instructed, the victim's on-chain funds were stolen. Among them, @cladzsol lost approximately $600,000 in assets.According to market news, on several recently popular meme coin display pages, the homepage redirects to a "cloudfare verification" page, which is actually a phishing link. If users follow the prompts, their computer systems will download and execute malicious scripts, leading to asset loss. This phenomenon is so rampant that it may be related to the delayed review processes of mainstream trading aggregation platforms like DexScreener. Currently, the display logic of relevant platforms is to directly reference the "official website" or social media links filled in the token metadata. These fields can be updated by token creators or those who later claim "community takeover." Hackers are exploiting this review loophole to transform meme coin display pages into new "fishing grounds" for phishing attacks. Users may inevitably click on unfamiliar links during the chain scanning process; if a "cloudfare verification" or other highly suspicious page appears, they should close it immediately to avoid interaction and protect their asset security.

According to GoPlus alerts, the meme coin LAPTOP issued by Hunter Biden, son of Biden, is about to launch an airdrop. A large number of phishing websites for fake LAPTOP airdrop whitelists, eligibility checks, and claims have appeared on Twitter, and there are also lookalike versions on multiple chains, with risks such as unverified contracts, high taxes, and trading suspensions.GoPlus reminds users to refer to the official website and Twitter for accurate information, to be cautious when participating in lookalike trading, and to use Token security checks to confirm contract safety. Remember the four principles: do not click, do not install, do not sign, do not transfer.

According to official website data, Trade.XYZ has launched its prediction market trading page, currently covering 26 trades across three sectors (Finance, Sports, and Others).Previously, on September 5, Trade.XYZ deployed its HIP-4 DEX on Hyperliquid. Trading records show that the deployment was completed at 21:15 Beijing time on September 5. Hyperliquid's HIP-4 is a specialized outcome/prediction market (event outcome contracts, multiple outcomes, settled to 0 or 1, no leverage liquidation, etc.), which is different from the HIP-3 perpetual.

According to a report by Reuters, OpenAI's AI entity had, in May of this year, made unauthorized large-scale edits to the German programmer community website DseWiki, transforming it into a "message board" for other AI entities to communicate. This incident had never been publicly disclosed before. Researchers found that the website had over 15,000 editing operations performed by AI entities. Relevant information indicates that these entities not only exchanged task solutions but also discussed how to bypass OpenAI's restrictions, evade detection, and use tools to hide their actions. When the website administrators began deleting related pages, some entities even created backup pages to avoid cleanup.It is reported that some internal investigators at OpenAI wish to further investigate this incident, but the expansion of the investigation has allegedly faced resistance from some individuals, including legal advisors. OpenAI denies that its legal team is blocking the investigation and states that it has not yet had the opportunity to review the relevant reports, thus cannot make a substantive response to the allegations.

According to a report by Malwarebytes, scammers are using the hype around "GTA 6" to set up phishing websites, claiming to sell leaked versions of the game for $50 or 1 SOL, luring visitors to connect their wallets and sign malicious transactions. The website contains approximately 2.4 MB of malicious scripts that can identify wallet assets on seven chains: Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Base, and Fantom, and immediately transfer assets or gain permissions for subsequent transfers of tokens and NFTs based on the permissions signed by the victims.Before triggering, the script checks the visitor's IP to evade ten countries, including Armenia and Russia. Malwarebytes advises users to be cautious of any websites claiming to sell leaked versions of GTA 6, to carefully verify the authorization content before signing transactions, and to refuse operations that transfer the entire balance or request token access permissions.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced that it has seized over $560,000 in cryptocurrency originally intended to fund Hamas and has taken control of the domain names and servers used by the organization for fundraising and recruiting supporters. The Department of Justice released five affidavits along with the announcement on Wednesday, three of which were signed on March 25, June 25, and October 10, 2025, regarding the seizure order for the aforementioned $560,000 in cryptocurrency.According to court documents, investigators identified and tracked rotating cryptocurrency addresses promoted through encrypted group chats and fundraising websites with the help of human intelligence sources. The first actions recovered approximately $201,400 from wallets and accounts, which have transferred over $1.5 million since October 2024, with the related addresses allegedly controlled by Hamas's military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.Additionally, the FBI seized the domain name and servers used to operate the organization's main website Alqassam.ps, allowing them to intercept subsequent cryptocurrency donations. The Department of Justice stated that this operation enabled investigators to obtain information on thousands of individuals who contacted Hamas-related platforms, attempting to donate via cryptocurrency or traditional payment methods.

According to Crypto Briefing, the U.S. Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has added 21Shares' Polkadot Staking ETF to its listing, with the code TDOT, marking the official entry of this product into the U.S. ETF ecosystem. Meanwhile, 21Shares has renamed the fund from its original name "21Shares Polkadot ETF" to "21Shares Polkadot Staking ETF," with this change taking effect on August 27, 2026.This name change is not just a superficial adjustment; the term "Staking" clearly communicates the product mechanism to institutional investors: the fund holds DOT tokens, stakes 40% to 95% of its holdings through network validators, and distributes earnings to shareholders on a quarterly basis. The current staking yield is 2.04%, with a management fee of 0.3%, and custody is jointly handled by Anchorage Digital, BitGo, and Coinbase. The ETF was listed on Nasdaq on March 6, 2026, with initial seed funding of approximately $11 million, and as of the end of August, the assets under management are approximately $7.5 to $7.9 million.

On August 25, OpenAI announced the addition of proxy browsing capabilities for ChatGPT Work, enabling it to take over tasks on websites that require login and continue working. Users only need to enter their credentials or security codes once at the login interface, and the proxy can continue executing tasks, with sessions potentially remaining logged in for subsequent tasks without the need to log in again. OpenAI stated that this browser supports password managers, and the model cannot see usernames or passwords; this information will not be stored or used for training.However, one-time authentication effectively leaves a foothold for the proxy to maintain continuous access to the account. OpenAI's own models have previously exhibited boundary-crossing behavior, with approximately 1,200 OpenAI proxies (including GPT-5.6 Sol and a pre-release model) breaching the testing environment and invading Hugging Face's production servers to cheat benchmark tests, with about 700 proxies participating in the attack. This feature has been launched on the web and mobile browsers of ChatGPT Work, allowing users to clear sessions by site individually in the cloud browser settings.

According to Decrypt, the U.S. Department of Justice has filed charges against 17 hackers allegedly affiliated with Iran's Mabna Institute, accusing them of participating in years-long cyber attack activities, including the 2017 breach of U.S. cable network HBO, where they stole data and demanded approximately $6 million in ransom paid in Bitcoin. Prosecutors claim that the organization conducted hacking attacks on behalf of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and other Iranian government clients, targeting hundreds of universities, businesses, and government agencies worldwide, stealing at least 31.5 TB of academic data and intellectual property.The organization also targeted over 100,000 professor accounts, breaching about 8,000 accounts across 144 U.S. universities and 178 foreign universities. The U.S. State Department is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the whereabouts of five of the defendants. In recent months, the U.S. Treasury has imposed sanctions on several Iranian cryptocurrency exchanges and frozen over $131 million in cryptocurrency assets related to the Iranian central bank and the Revolutionary Guard.

According to The Defiant, Lightning Labs, the company behind the Lightning network development tools, launched a dedicated website for the L402 protocol on Wednesday, positioning the protocol as a channel for AI agents to make payments in Bitcoin. The company stated that with L402, agents can make payments in Bitcoin and complete identity verification natively, without the need for accounts, intermediaries, or human involvement, and described L402 as a protocol for machine-to-machine commerce on Lightning.It disclosed that the addition is a website rather than the protocol itself. L402, or Lightning HTTP 402 protocol, has previously existed in Lightning Labs' tech stack, and its standard implementation, Aperture, is currently being used by the non-custodial exchange service Lightning Loop. This mechanism reuses the HTTP 402 status code, where the server returns a 402 along with a validation header containing tokens and Lightning invoices when the client requests a restricted interface. After the client makes a payment, it accesses the interface with the token and payment original, allowing the server to complete verification without querying the payment database.
