The White House issued twin executive orders to accelerate U.S. development of large-scale quantum computers while simultaneously hardening federal systems against quantum-enabled attacks on encryption. One order directs the Department of Energy to host advanced quantum computers and requires the Pentagon to field next-generation quantum sensors by 2028. The second order mandates a strict migration to post-quantum cryptography, requiring federal agencies to secure key establishment by 2030. This development comes as quantum computing is often viewed as a existential threat to bitcoin's cryptographic foundation.

Taiko, an Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution, suspended its network after a bridge exploit that resulted in approximately $1.7 million in losses. The attacker exploited a cross-chain messaging vulnerability to forge withdrawal proofs, a flaw similar to those behind over $340 million in bridge hacks this year. The team quickly contained the damage, halted block production, and urged users to withdraw funds. The native token suffered a significant price drop.

Bitcoin developers are moving to remove legacy explicit replace-by-fee (RBF) signaling from wallet software. The feature, once used to opt into fee bumping, has become redundant as full-RBF is now the default network policy. Eliminating the signal reduces blockchain fingerprints that can identify wallet types, thereby improving user privacy. Developers are coordinating on a common default input sequence number to further anonymize transactions.

A new study from Florida International University reveals that pixel-level alterations in images, invisible to the human eye, can trick AI chatbots into ignoring safety rules. The technique, called JaiLIP, nearly doubled harmful responses in tests, exploiting the numerical way AI models process visual data. This research highlights growing security risks in multimodal AI systems used by businesses.
