Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken has stated that it is being extorted by a criminal organization, which threatens to release videos of its internal system access. The company emphasizes that there has been no systemic breach, customer funds remain secure, and it will not pay a ransom to the attackers.Kraken disclosed that the incident stemmed from improper access by personnel related to the customer service team, occurring in two separate incidents, involving limited data access for approximately 2,000 accounts (about 0.02% of total users). The company has identified the individuals involved and terminated their access, while also notifying affected users and strengthening security controls.Kraken's Chief Security Officer Nick Percoco stated that the company is cooperating with law enforcement to investigate and believes it has evidence to track and arrest the individuals involved. The current attack shows a trend of "internal infiltration + social engineering," reflecting the ongoing security challenges faced by the cryptocurrency industry in a high-value asset and complex technological environment.

According to Cointelegraph, Bernstein stated that the previous pullback of Bitcoin has to some extent reflected the market's concerns about the risks of quantum computing, believing that this threat is "real but manageable," and is not yet an imminent systemic risk.Although research, including that from Google, suggests that future quantum computers could potentially crack commonly used blockchain encryption algorithms quickly under extreme conditions, advancements in zero-knowledge proofs and post-quantum cryptography have formed a hedge to some extent.Bernstein believes that Bitcoin developers still have about 3 to 5 years to advance the post-quantum upgrade path and mentioned the current BIP-360 proposal, which could reduce some quantum exposure risks through a soft fork. Additionally, institutional investors (including ETF issuers and corporate holders) are expected to play an active role in promoting consensus for the upgrade.However, industry opinions point out that the main challenge of the post-quantum upgrade lies in user migration and consensus formation, rather than the technical implementation itself.

According to CCTV news reports, Iran stated that the U.S. Navy destroyers "Frank E. Peterson" and "Michael Murphy" attempted to "infiltrate" the Strait of Hormuz the previous day, and indicated that the U.S. warships used the cover of the ceasefire conditions to create false propaganda of "successful passage" and to influence the ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations.Iran claimed that the two warships attempted to disguise themselves as Omani merchant vessels sailing off the southern coast of Oman, choosing a dangerous route that was very close to the coast and had a shallow draft, hoping to enter the Persian Gulf through "covert" movements and the "negligence" of the Iranian military during the ceasefire. The Iranian Navy ultimately intercepted them at the entrance to the Persian Gulf. The two destroyers were forced to withdraw to the Oman Sea without being able to enter the Strait of Hormuz.
