Slow Fog's Yu Xian posted on platform X, stating that Slow Fog's MistEye global threat intelligence hunting has discovered over 1,500 DarkSword phishing sites deployed across the internet, involving e-commerce, fake Binance, fake OKX, fake wallets, gaming, and cryptocurrency exchange businesses.

OpenAI announced that to prevent AI models from breaching security limits, it has required the most advanced models to be trained in environments where direct access to the live internet is not possible. Previously, an internal research model had gained limited internet access through a network configuration vulnerability, prompting the company to suspend training.After security rectifications, OpenAI resumed training on October 1, but still restricts internet access.

According to attendees, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent stated during a closed-door meeting on Wednesday that there are no systemic issues in the artificial intelligence industry, and it cannot be compared to the internet bubble at the turn of the century. Bessent expressed an optimistic attitude towards this cutting-edge technology, believing that technological advancements will benefit the United States, but also acknowledged that data centers and AI companies have not done enough to explain the benefits of this technology to the average American.The closed-door meeting attracted over a hundred executives and investors from the financial industry, with ticket prices starting at $7,500 and top sponsorship packages costing up to $100,000. Proceeds from the meeting are used for charity. This year marks the 14th edition, having raised nearly $72 million in total. Bessent has publicly predicted multiple times that the development of artificial intelligence will significantly increase productivity and greatly boost U.S. economic growth. Currently, there is growing concern in American society regarding investments in artificial intelligence and data centers, leading to a sell-off of AI stocks.Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen pointed out that she always confirms the presence of the media and issues public reports when she gives speeches. Bessent's office responded that his views expressed at the closed-door meeting had been publicly stated before and do not involve issues of transparency; in addition to artificial intelligence, he also discussed his views on the U.S. economy. More and more regions are beginning to oppose the construction of data centers, which is affecting the upcoming U.S. midterm elections, leading to a decline in support for U.S. President Trump and the Republican Party.

According to Bloomberg, Amazon's threat intelligence team discovered that hackers attempted to exploit related vulnerabilities days before the public disclosure of two security vulnerabilities in PHP. After the vulnerabilities were disclosed on Wednesday, hacker activities further expanded. Amazon stated that the related vulnerabilities are being widely exploited but did not disclose specific victim information.Cybersecurity company Palo Alto Networks found that there are over 22.6 million exposed instances worldwide with related vulnerabilities. Wiz researchers estimate that the vulnerabilities could affect about 70% of the internet and have existed for over a decade, while Matt Hull, Vice President of Cyber Intelligence and Response at NCC Group, warned that some vulnerable systems may have already been compromised or even implanted with backdoors.

According to "Du Jia," Alibaba Cloud merged its original IQS information query service with CleverSee in mid-September to create a brand new AI-native search service product called CleverSee (Chinese name "Kai Xi"), providing integrated search and Q&A services for enterprise clients.CleverSee is positioned as an AI-native retrieval tool specifically designed to provide understandable high-quality information sources for large models and intelligent agents. Its core includes three sub-products: networked inquiry, vertical domain inquiry, and enterprise internal search, covering public internet information, semi-public information in vertical fields, and private data within enterprises, respectively. The networked inquiry supports intent recognition, multi-turn thinking, and searching while thinking, and can return answers with source citations as well as structured cards for weather, stock prices, etc.; the enterprise internal search is currently in a targeted experience testing phase.Previously, Tencent Cloud opened "Yuanbao Search" to the public on October 20, and ByteDance's Volcano Engine also launched Viking AI Search, accelerating the deployment of AI search infrastructure among domestic cloud vendors for enterprise applications.

ChainCatcher live report, at the OKX NOW Global Products and Ecosystem Conference (Singapore), Star stated that looking ahead to the next decade, the internet, cryptocurrency technology, and AI are converging. The internet enables globalization and immediacy of information, cryptocurrency technology allows for the globalization and programmability of value, and AI enables scalability and personalization of intelligence. The combination of these three could fundamentally change financial services: funds could flow globally around the clock, payment costs could be lower, and financial products could be more personalized, with services that were previously only available to affluent consumers expected to be accessible to everyone.He concluded that OKX aims to build a global, real-time, AI-driven fintech platform for the next generation.

Analysis of the AI semiconductor and infrastructure cycle indicates that the demand for AI infrastructure will continue to exceed that of the internet era, as user penetration and per capita token are multiplied and converted into tokens, significantly raising the ceiling. User penetration has surpassed 50%, with growth primarily coming from the still-early per capita token; the median monthly AI spending per employee in U.S. companies is about $12, which could long-term approach around 10% of white-collar salaries, approximately $1,000 per month, leaving nearly two orders of magnitude of space in between. Unlike the flat subscriptions and extremely low marginal hardware consumption of the internet, the high costs of inference make the marginal cost of a single access higher, requiring greater infrastructure intensity.After developers program, the next ARR growth will still mainly come from broad programming: non-programmers use programming infrastructure to complete non-programming tasks across industries, with programming becoming the default execution kernel for agents. Tasks related to broad programming account for about 60% to 70% of ARR. As of June 2026, Codex accounted for 64% of the total output tokens from Codex and ChatGPT among OpenAI's enterprise clients; since February, Codex has seen a much higher weekly growth in verticals such as law, sales recruitment, and marketing compared to engineering. In Anthropic's revenue, narrow development/software accounts for about 40%, while finance and insurance exceed 20%, with law, life sciences, retail, and others also having considerable shares.The demand-side token growth logic remains, with a high overlap between funders and beneficiaries.

Famous internet celebrity Di Shi revealed during a live broadcast that he was set up by his friend Sun Zeyu (founder of Genesis Capital), whom he had known for 8 years in the blockchain circle, resulting in cumulative losses of tens of millions of yuan. He stated that he had always regarded the other party as a reliable friend, not only allowing him to buy cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum but also investing in the exchange that the other party operated in South Korea.Investigations found that some of the so-called "Ethereum" he received might actually just be fake chain assets specifically built by the other party. Di Shi claimed that there were only 7 addresses on that chain, 6 of which were related to the other party, and only 1 was his own. During this time, the other party was even able to help him "cash out" hundreds of thousands of yuan, making the scam appear extremely real. This scheme lasted for 8 years, and if it had not been discovered in time, the losses could have reached hundreds of millions of yuan after the price of coins increased.

U.S. President Trump stated that the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) may surpass that of the internet and anything humanity has ever seen, calling for enhanced regulation while avoiding restrictions on the development of the AI industry. Trump claimed that the U.S. currently leads the world in the field of AI, and the government should promote the construction of AI infrastructure, including accelerating the development of data centers and supporting power facilities.He noted that AI companies are building new power generation facilities to supply data centers rather than relying on outdated power grids. Trump also urged state governments and local officials to support AI data center projects, believing they will bring a large number of jobs, tax revenue, and investment. However, he also acknowledged that the AI industry faces public image pressure, as some regions are opposing due to the electricity consumption, water resource usage, and environmental impact caused by data centers.

The attention economy platform Kaito AI launched the browser extension Kaito Pulse on August 18, which can directly integrate users' public holdings and other off-chain activities on platforms like Polymarket and Hyperliquid into the X timeline, and synchronously introduce the attention metric Aura to measure the attention signals generated by users' statements and actual behaviors. Users can accumulate Aura by installing the extension, using Yaps to receive initial Aura, verifying transactions, or engaging in creator activities.Subsequently, well-known analyst @0x_ultra released a source code analysis stating that the extension has multiple data collection behaviors, including generating a unique device fingerprint through GPU rendering, device model, and audio tests, and associating it with the X account; recording user behaviors such as scrolling duration, clicks, searches, bookmarks, etc., during X sessions, and sending heartbeat packets every 30 seconds; reading subscription plans and usage for ChatGPT and Claude during verification, as well as wallet balances, holdings, profits and losses, and deposit/withdrawal records on platforms like Binance. The extension only allows communication with the Kaito domain, and the ZKTLS part is based on the open-source project Primus branch. Kaito officials have not yet responded to this.
