Madison Mills @MadisonMills22SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios. The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios. Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said. Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

Laura Shin @laurashinProject Eleven co-founder Alex Pruden on why Justin Drake and Yehuda Lindell take different approaches to the quantum threat "Justin's concern is thinking about the longevity of Ethereum over 50 to 100 years. People who lived through the ETH1 to ETH2 transition remember how painfully long that took and how difficult it was." "These are decentralized systems. It is very, very difficult to upgrade them. This is not like your phone upgrades and OS kind of thing." "We need to minimize any kind of possible theoretical risk that might exist in the future. Therefore, we need to do hashes. That's, I think, Justin's perspective. I mean, that's very valid." "On the flip side, Yehuda, responsible as the chief cryptographer at Coinbase for billions of dollars right now. At this second, his name on the line." "So can understand why he's maybe got the view that maybe we shouldn't throw away the only thing that we know has worked right now and go into bunker. And I think there's elements of truth to both."
Optimism @OptimismJust like every company has its own server now, soon every company will have its own blockchain. @jinglejamOP explains:
gabriel shapiro @lex_nodeTokenized stock volume is almost all broker IOUs on broker chains. Companies tokenizing their own shares will not do it that way. They will use Ethereum mainnet (the commons), or an L2 they run themselves--a "company town" with a guaranteed open-gate.
Hannibal999 @Hannibal9972485@NSACyber discovered by OpenAI found a 14-year-old bug in 2026. This bug has existed for 14 years. 🤔 You sure NSA just discover this? . Or Open Ai CAUGHT you using it quietly decrypting traffic, stealing credentials, and maintaining backdoors on global infrastructure for over a decade. 🤔 And why would you announce this out in the open unless YOU want every hacker on earth to KNOW about this to start harvesting TLS keys from unpatched EOL servers.

The Redline @theredlinehqTRACKED CHANGES: A Louisiana appeals court bought two servers to build its own AI. The two judges behind the plan shared their blueprint on Substack, saying they want the custom system to check filings, flag fake citations and screen briefs for hidden AI prompts.
