Phishing campaign aimed at 885,000 phone numbers, security firm says
Rapid7 says a crypto phishing operation targeted 885,000 numbers with texts leading to fake wallet sites. Here is what the pages ask for, and where to report.
Solana blocks are about to arrive faster and carry less. That mostly cancels out
Solana is cutting its target block time from 400ms to 350ms, and trimming how much work each block can hold. Faster blocks that do less isn't the same as more capacity, and it probably won't make your transactions cheaper.
BitBox found the flaws before anyone lost money
The Swiss wallet maker says two severe firmware bugs have been patched, with no reports of anyone being exploited. It's the opposite ending to the Coldcard story, and the fix only works if owners install it.

Trezor says a breach at its shipping provider ShipMonk exposed personal data belonging to nearly 14,000 customers. No coins were taken, and none can be. The risk is what a verified list of hardware wallet owners is worth to somebody else.
