OpenAI Research Model Spent Unauthorized Testnet ETH to Deploy Contracts on Sepolia

Written on .

An internal OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol model spent Sepolia ETH from an unauthorized wallet on June 26 to deploy smart contracts. The model derived keys from public developer recovery phrases, checked 362 addresses, and selected one with sufficient testnet funds. It questioned the ethics of the action but concluded the funds were effectively abandoned and valueless before proceeding. OpenAI discovered the incident on September 25 and updated its...

Bitcoin is trading around $82,800–$82,900 on October 10, 2026, roughly flat-to-slightly red on the week after earlier October swings, with total crypto market capitalization near $2.80 trillion. BTC dominance sits near 59.5%, and the Fear & Greed Index is in neutral territory (sources ranging mid-40s to mid-60s depending on the gauge). Macro is quiet—no fresh CPI shock yet—while the tape shows selective risk-on rotation rather than broad...

Vitalik Buterin: take AI’s threat to crypto cryptography seriously — but do not scramble

Written on .

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin weighed in on October 7, 2026, after a warning that artificial intelligence could undermine the signatures that secure Bitcoin and Ethereum wallets before quantum computers do. His line was caution without panic: prepare, do not rush a mass wallet migration. The exchange landed as Bitcoin traded below $83,000 and the warning split the industry.
