What happened
Collection of security news: researchers found evidence the U.S. military has been using GPS satellites as an Over-the-Air key distribution channel (OTAD/OTAR), effectively turning satellites into hidden “numbers stations.” A critical flaw in Zcash’s Orchard shielded pool was discovered and patched — the bug could have allowed creation of ZEC (inflation) via manipulated inputs. Anthropic’s Project Glasswing reports large-scale AI-driven vulnerability discovery across many OSS projects, but most findings remain unpatched. A prototype AI-powered worm carrying its own LLM was demonstrated, and a0
