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 individuals involved had previous convictions for money laundering and are now deceased.Investigators traced these assets back to dark web markets that operated from 2016 to 2019 and were later shut down by law enforcement.

According to Decrypt, the financial investigation department of the police in Avon and Somerset, UK, has seized 20.21 bitcoins along with other crypto assets and bank account funds, totaling approximately $1.4 million (£1.03 million). Investigators traced the assets to dark web markets that operated between 2016 and 2019, all of which have now been shut down by law enforcement and were involved in criminal activities such as drug supply and human trafficking.This is the largest cryptocurrency seizure operation by the police since the introduction of the cryptocurrency wallet freezing order in the UK in April 2024. This power allows the police to freeze and seize cryptocurrencies without prior arrests, transferring them to wallets controlled by law enforcement, and seizing written passwords or storage devices. The individuals involved had previous money laundering convictions and are now deceased.The police pointed out that every transaction processed by these markets is permanently recorded on the blockchain, serving as a valuable source of evidence. The assets were seized earlier this year under the Proceeds of Crime Act, with the court determining that they represented proceeds from illegal activities, and the recovered funds will be used for community and policing projects.

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.

CZ stated at the offline "Binance Life" book club meeting in Hong Kong that Hong Kong, as a financial center, has unique advantages in the flow of fintech talent, mainland talent, and institutional connections. Although it is not outstanding in infrastructure such as electricity and data centers, its competitiveness in the Web3 financial sector is evident. He believes that the current AI hype will not hinder the long-term development of Web3, and individuals should choose directions that interest them, that they are capable of, and that hold value; Hong Kong and Web3 are indeed a strong combination. Besides Hong Kong, he is also optimistic about Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the UAE, as well as the United States after its policy shift to support the crypto industry.CZ mentioned that the development speed of RWA has significantly exceeded his previous expectations, especially in terms of securities on-chain. Traditional stocks are limited by account opening thresholds, trading hours, and geographical restrictions. Once assets are on-chain, they can be directly accessible to global investors, significantly enhancing accessibility and liquidity, making them more attractive to countries and companies with smaller securities market sizes. RWA will be an important development direction moving forward, and stablecoins are essentially a type of RWA that brings fiat currency onto the chain. Currently, the market is mainly dominated by USD stablecoins, and in the future, more countries may promote their national currencies to be on-chain to expand their global circulation.He also stated that DEX has gradually evolved over the past eight years from products like Uniswap and PancakeSwap to Hyperliquid, with both infrastructure and user awareness significantly maturing. According to his current understanding, the regulatory pressure from the U.S. on decentralized products has eased compared to the past, and clearer separation models are beginning to appear between international platforms and those targeting U.S. users, with some international platforms not necessarily requiring comprehensive KYC. If the policy environment continues to relax, the development speed of DEX and the entire crypto industry may significantly accelerate in the coming years.
