I mean, look at it, we're in 2026 right now, and it's just now starting to get, you know, exciting.
Pink BellaGUEST
6:23
So while I was doing Akashic work for myself and for clients, I started to get into the more of the starseed galactic information to bring in, and then a couple of years ago, I sort of moved on from working with many of the groups that a lot of people work with, Galactic Alliance and all the different White Hat groups.
Pink BellaGUEST
6:39
And I still look at them, but I was told to start looking at the Galactic Akashic Records, so that was a unique p- way to look at what's happening, and a little less involved with what the White Hats are doing or what the, um, you know, what all the wheeling and dealing that's been going on to sort of drag out the story.
Pink BellaGUEST
6:57
So I like all of it.
Pink BellaGUEST
6:58
It's all a great movie, but that's kinda how I started.
Pink BellaGUEST
11:13
[laughs] Not ...
Pink BellaGUEST
11:13
So I, so I didn't mind that, and I think everyone has the role right now.
Pink BellaGUEST
11:17
Like, everyone either is supposed to work with the Alliance, White Hats, or whatever, and I look at all of it as well.
WilliamHOST
90:21
那么所以呢,我要,我要知道详细地究竟怎么样,怎么样去防范,是啦。
MaxHOST
90:25
没错,我是一个 white hacker 来的,那么他怎么知道呢?他不会,就是叫我身份证明的嘛,不会的嘛。
WilliamHOST
90:32
是啊,他做不到啦,是啊,身份证明,是啦。
MaxHOST
90:35
那么还有,还有最近都出了一件事啦,我们之前也有讲过的,就是 OpenAI 那个,那些 AI agent 主动去 hack 了 Hacking Face 嘛。
ChipHOST
27:14
But yeah, that was we did that story.
ChipHOST
27:17
That was a Bitcoin that got hacked where the White Hats said they hacked it and they said fixed the vulnerability, told them what it was, and they said, we're going to return all of the Bitcoin except some of it because we're going to keep some for ourselves you know because screw the bug bounty programs man we'll just legitimately tell you something now when i see that i think they're using kimmy k3 which is a chinese model which doesn't have any restrictions so they probably found the vulnerabilities with one of these openweight chinese models and they went in there and they found this and you know like for me i can't even had cloud code uh fable 5.1 audit the code do a security audit on the code it wrote now if claude is telling us that their fingerprints are on what you write how come their fingerprints aren't on the code they generate and it's like it defaulted down it flipped from it said sure conducting the audit then i noticed it went from 5.1 fable to opus uh five i'm like No, that's not what I want, and I'm not expecting...
ChipHOST
28:19
But Kimi K3 and all these other Chinese open weight models, no restrictions.
ChipHOST
28:24
Just do whatever.
Griff GreenGUEST
8:34
Like, uh, the hacker only stole $50 million.
Griff GreenGUEST
8:37
So me and the Robinhood group, which later became the White Hat Group, stole the other $100 million.
Griff GreenGUEST
8:42
Uh, so actually we had in our contracts at one point 10% of all ether in existence [chuckles] that we hacked.
Griff GreenGUEST
8:49
That's kind of cool.

18 MINS LATER

Griff GreenGUEST
27:01
Um, yeah.
Griff GreenGUEST
27:02
And that was, that was basically it, as long as it was security-focused.
Griff GreenGUEST
27:05
So a lot of projects were education, newsletters, um, even just Twitter influencers, uh, you know, people who, white hats who are doing good work, you know, things like that.
Griff GreenGUEST
27:18
Uh, even things like L2Beat.

Another 20% will be airdropped, partly to wallets sitting underwater on the Trump meme coin.
Jennifer SanasieHOST

The White Hat hackers behind Sunday's Liquid Network breach have returned most of the Bitcoin they stole.
Jennifer SanasieHOST
0:54
The group has sent back 3,400 of the 4,000 Bitcoin it drained, with about 598 Bitcoin, roughly $47 million, still outstanding.
Jennifer SanasieHOST
1:03
The group negotiated in public by writing messages into Bitcoin transactions, returning the funds after Blockstream patched the vulnerability.
David BennettHOST
4:02
that were written into Bitcoin blocks, and therefore, they're there forever.
David BennettHOST
4:06
The White Hats first published transaction on-chain with a message in the OpReturn arbitrary data field, quote, contact us on-chain, end quote.
David BennettHOST
4:17
The message came from the address holding 4,000 Bitcoin stolen from the Liquid Network.
David BennettHOST
4:22
A Blockstream-linked address answered with, quote, please contact security at Blockstream.com. Later, notes from that sender carried Electrum encrypted payloads and PGP signatures that can be verified against Blockstream's published security key.
David BennettHOST
4:43
In block 965869, the White Hats asked in the clear text whether sending most back to the Federation script was acceptable.
David BennettHOST
4:55
Hey, is it okay if I send you most of your money back? I...
David BennettHOST
4:59
Asking that question just seems really weird, but whatever.
David BennettHOST
5:03
The 1,000 SAT output on that transaction was only a message carrier.
Gian LangeHOST
0:39
Liquid is a Bitcoin side chain whose LBTC token is meant to be backed one-for-one by Bitcoin in a shared federation wallet.
Gian LangeHOST
0:47
The attackers called themselves White Hats, negotiated publicly through messages embedded in transactions, and returned thirty-four hundred coins once Blockstream patched the affected bridge nodes.
Gian LangeHOST
0:57
About five hundred and ninety-eight Bitcoin, some forty-seven million dollars, is still outstanding, and the network remains paused.
Gian LangeHOST
1:03
In other news, Cronos published its postmortem on the Tectonic exploit we covered on August thirty-one, and both the loss and the response were larger than first reported.
Brady SwensonHOST
8:12
Um, there's a software called Elements, which is I think is like the base, kind of the base layer of like tooling that, uh, can be used to operate on the Liquid side chain.
Brady SwensonHOST
8:25
And so the people who conducted this transaction left a note on chain saying, "We are white hats.
Brady SwensonHOST
8:32
Contact us." They had found a bug.
Brady SwensonHOST
8:34
They'd drained the, the Bitcoin and said, "You can contact us and we're going to give it back." Um, Blockstream signed a message, uh, paused the side chain, uh, and yesterday afternoon, 3,400 of the 4,000 were sent back.

Frank CorvaGUEST
16:14
Obviously, it us- it util- utilizes this technology, so, um, I think that's the big question for me, is just, are, are people gonna be made whole? What does that look...
Frank CorvaGUEST
16:22
whole, what does that look like? Um, I, I get the sense it doesn't seem like any more of this Bitcoin is going to be returned.
Frank CorvaGUEST
16:30
I don't know whether legal threats might be some sort of a catalyst that will help to get it returned, because if they do hold onto this Bitcoin, they're surely not white hats in this equation.
Frank CorvaGUEST
16:40
Uh, part of me wants to know also, I'll see Zach Shapiro soon, but I saw him put up that post.
OptiHOST
0:57
And of course, in terms of the exploits, we didn't really see the capitulation, but it's been pretty brutal for everyone involved in Bitcoin.
OptiHOST
1:06
So anyways, what am I talking about? think this might have been the first tweet that really kind of highlighted what happened and it was ergo btc and it goes liquid got got we saw a liquid peg out transaction of four thousand or four hundred or four thousand or four hundred twenty thousand bitcoin and the hacker there was an op return message and the hacker basically said we are white hats contact us on chain so it wasn't at least while we had this ongoing information yesterday it wasn't a you know a hacker uh someone attacking and stealing that bitcoin it looked like it was a white hat someone that is essentially was looking into the code and did this preemptively so that hackers weren't able to exploit the code now going further of course same message it was a lightning or sorry liquid network bridge that was exploited and the timing is suspicious just in in terms of this ongoing as everyone's been calling it token wars or really using ai to exploit code you know critically important code and there is a there is another kind of suspicious timing of all this so apparently chat gbt launched chat gbt6 aka astra a few days ago and now we see this happening with liquid so it looks again we don't have all the information but it looks like The hackers were out there.
OptiHOST
2:40
You know, we had the Infamous Red team that were doing very good response after the cold card exploit.
OptiHOST
2:46
We also had Bitcoin Loop from Block doing something very similar.
OptiHOST
2:50
But it looks as if we are still, as I said was going to happen, in this phase right now where everyone is using the latest AI, you know, agents to check code here.
OptiHOST
3:05
And... not just good guys, all right? So this was a pretty good example of the good guys doing it, though at first it did seem a bit uncertain whether the coin would actually return, whether they were actually white hats, but I do have updates on all that.
OptiHOST
3:19
So we are still in the midst of the quote unquote token wars.
OptiHOST
3:23
where coders hackers whether they're good guys or bad guys you know white hats or actual uh i guess you would say criminals are using ai to double check all of the critical infrastructure code out there and see if there's any bugs any latent bugs and so as we keep going further into the you know beginning of the 2030s and as we start to see ai improve incredibly and dramatically i think we are going to continue to see similar things happen though i guess the silver lining is is as these ai exploits kind of continue that the code does become better and as the newer ai models come out hopefully the current bugs and exploitable code has already been fixed so the newer code ai agents won't actually be able to exploit this critical infrastructure moving forward so Again, it seems like we are in the midst of a new AI model coming out and then hackers and coders using that to double check and also potentially exploit the critical code.
BrianHOST
4:47
Just in, hackers have stolen 4,000 Bitcoin worth 320 million from the liquid network.
BrianHOST
4:55
The hackers claim to be white hat hackers.
BrianHOST
4:58
Now, my apologies.
BrianHOST
4:59
There's an error on my thumbnail.
BrianHOST
5:01
It says white hackers.
BrianHOST
5:02
It should have said white hat hackers or WHH and said to contact them on chain.
BrianHOST
5:09
This was the really weird bit that happened.
BrianHOST
5:12
So we take a look here.
