What we know
@TheBlockCo reported Bithumb's breach was confined to its internal mobile groupware system, with 844 customers having personal info exposed — exchange accounts and assets were reportedly unaffected. Separately, an account on X flagged reports of simultaneous AI-assisted bank hacks across 7 countries, including South Korean firms losing data on 68,000 people. Tom Lee pitched $WLD (Worldcoin) as a 'proof of human' solution. The Pentagon is also probing an August military freezer malfunction as a potential hack.
