According to a report from ZDNet Korea on October 20, the AI chip company Groq, which has been effectively acquired by NVIDIA, is advancing the introduction of DRAM 3D stacked packaging in its next-generation chips to replace the fast but lower-capacity SRAM solution. Groq was founded in 2016 by former Google TPU designer Jonathan Ross, and it was reported that the company was acquired by NVIDIA in a roundabout manner last year.The report states that Groq is evaluating a solution called 3DS, which vertically connects DRAM chips through silicon vias for high-capacity packaging. 3D packaging allows multiple bare chips to be stacked vertically and operate as a single chip, reducing area and improving power efficiency compared to planar solutions. Both 3DS and HBM use silicon vias, but HBM focuses on transmission speed, while 3DS maintains existing DRAM interfaces and focuses on capacity expansion. Anonymous industry insiders indicated that Groq plans to adopt 3D packaging in its next-generation chips, stacking DRAM instead of SRAM; another individual noted that market demand is shifting towards larger capacity chips, prompting Groq to choose DRAM, which has a capacity advantage.

According to The Defiant, Blockaid data shows that from January to August 2026, the 60 cryptocurrency attack incidents it tracked involved approximately $1.18 billion in funds, with victims recovering about $9.8 million, accounting for less than 1%.The report pointed out that all frozen or returned funds were achieved through on-chain governance or validator actions, and the blacklist mechanism of stablecoin issuers did not recover any funds in these 60 incidents.

The founder of the Solana landing service analysis platform Circular, Ben, stated that he believes the trading terminal Axiom charges traders through misleading "validator bribes" and routes the related funds to the landing service Lunar under HelloMoon. Ben mentioned that since April, the bribes paid by Axiom traders to Lunar amount to approximately $55.7 million, but the latest 30-day analysis shows that only about 1% can be traced back to additional on-chain validator incentives, and he inquired whether Axiom shares in this tip revenue.Circular claims that it reconstructed the activities related to Lunar and Axiom from April 26, 2026, to October 19, based on on-chain payment flows: during this period, Lunar received 530,166 SOL in bribes, valued at approximately $55.67 million based on its quoted price of $105/SOL, corresponding to 189 million successful payments of bribes to Lunar from Axiom transactions. In the last 30 days, 45 million Axiom transactions made payments to Lunar, accounting for 80.6% of successful Axiom transactions; Lunar received 138,964 SOL, approximately $14.59 million, of which about 1,579 SOL was attributed to additional on-chain validator incentives, accounting for 1.14%.Ben also cited on-chain cases from September 26 and October 7, stating that after he paid bribes as suggested by the Axiom interface, the identifiable additional priority fee increase was about 1% of the amount paid to Lunar. He indicated that Axiom controls transaction routing and fee recommendations and has published its associated Lunar address on GitHub for verification. The above content represents Circular's on-chain statistics and personal judgment, and the post also states that the related proportions do not exclude other service costs or off-chain payments, and its estimate of the platform's revenue share is not based on tracked payments to Axiom.

Eight TLS certificates issued by eMudhra in India were found to have extremely weak private keys, allowing attackers to impersonate almost any website. Major browsers have blocked the affected certificates, but millions of servers, Linux systems, and connected devices may still need updates.A cryptography expert warned that the scale of this cleanup may exceed that of the Heartbleed vulnerability in 2014, and there is currently no confirmation of any malicious exploitation.

The network validator Computors has approved the recovery plan, and affected users can submit claims, with a deadline of May 1, 2027.The Qubic block explorer shows that the network resumed processing ticks on October 19 at 20:00, with progress exceeding the previously paused 85,371,949. The vulnerability affects wallet seeds generated by certain Apple devices and browsers. Qubic recommends using version 4.26.4 or above to create new wallets and to transfer funds as soon as possible.

Digital hardware wallet manufacturer NGRAVE disclosed that attackers hijacked the third-party notification service used by its LIQUID companion app and sent false security alerts to users, resulting in approximately 70 wallet addresses being stolen across 4 blockchains, amounting to about 2.56 million dollars. Among these, the loss in Bitcoin was approximately 1.77 million dollars, XRP about 454,000 dollars, Ethereum assets about 316,000 dollars, and Stellar about 18,000 dollars.The attackers induced users to click on a counterfeit website and enter their 24-word recovery phrase or Perfect Key, subsequently using automated scripts to transfer assets within minutes. NGRAVE stated that the ZERO hardware wallet and private keys were not directly compromised; the victims voluntarily provided their recovery credentials during the phishing process. Unauthorized access may have begun on October 11. After obtaining an access key, the attackers acquired a broader access key and sent false notifications on October 17; NGRAVE detected anomalies about 1 minute after the notifications appeared, but the first wallet was emptied 6 minutes later, and the notification system was shut down that evening.NGRAVE's CEO stated that the company failed to fulfill the most basic security responsibilities of a cryptocurrency security firm and mentioned that affected keys have been replaced, with new dual approval, domain restrictions, and emergency shutdown mechanisms implemented. The company also reminded affected users to create new wallets and contact the support team, as some device information, wallet activity, IP addresses, and approximate locations may have been exposed.
