Some attacks this week didn't need much of a trick. A fake support call, a trusted extension, a shared link, or a device with no password. Small things that people barely think about. Yet each was enough to cause serious trouble.

Then there were the bigger messes. Billions stolen, hidden networks of hacked devices, poisoned software, and attackers finding new ways to turn normal tools against their users. Even the places meant to keep money and systems safe ended up with problems of their own. The strange part is how often the damage started somewhere nobody was looking.

And that's before getting to the long list of fresh bugs, shady services, and scams making the rounds. Quite a bit to sort through. Here's what made the list.

N. Korea Sets New Record with Binance $6.43B Crypto Theft — The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has officially attributed the theft of more than $6 billion in virtual assets from Binance to a North Korean hacking group called TraderTraitor. The haul eclipses the $1.46 billion plundered from Bybit in February 2025, making it the largest cryptocurrency theft in history. The funds were stolen across 11 blockchains, 82% of which were on Ethereum and Bitcoin. Of the $6.43 billion stolen by TraderTraitor, $2.85 billion of the assets have been frozen on-chain by Tether, Circle, Ripple, Arbitrum, and Optimism.
