Binance reported a massive cryptocurrency heist, with hackers targeting $6.34 billion in cryptocurrency. The heist was attributed to North Korean actors and involved sophisticated techniques, including social engineering, malware, and compromised internal tooling. The hackers spent months planning the heist, starting as early as June, and successfully compromised an engineer's laptop to withdraw assets. Binance has frozen or intercepted $2.85 billion of the stolen funds and has set aside funds to cover the loss. The incident is considered the biggest cryptocurrency theft in history.

Meta faces pressure from the No Kings Coalition, a group advocating for democracy, after suspending their Instagram account due to alleged automated review errors. The suspension occurred during an early voting push, leading to concerns about Meta's handling of pro-democracy content and potential suppression or censorship ahead of the midterm elections. Meta has offered to meet with a technical expert, but the coalition has rejected this offer, instead demanding a meeting with senior leadership. The No Kings Coalition has also asked Meta to disclose any communications with the Trump administration about the account or the early voting event. Meta executives have met with the coalition, stating they have no plans to change policies that lead to over-enforcement, a concern shared by the Oversight Board.
