$6.3 billion stolen from Binance, Apple adds touch to the MacBook

Can't believe we're talking about this again, but it's been ANOTHER dangerous week on the internet. This time billions have been stolen in Crypto

It took just 20 minutes to steal $6.3 billion.  

This was a super sophisticated and planned attack, with preparations starting 36 hours beforehand. It's suspected to be linked to a North Korean hacking group, but that hasn't been confirmed.  

The initial investigation suggested it "involved a compromised laptop, however, our subsequent investigation has uncovered additional points of breach", so possibly taking information from that laptop to be used in their services and infrastructure. It's thought the attackers instructed Binance's internal tooling to approve the unauthorized withdrawals.  

Binance has pledged to cover all losses – it thinks it has/can recover $3 billion in funds. But it’s also saying that it's seeing sophisticated and seemingly automated transactions to launder this money. Secret Service investigators are also “working around the clock” with the private sector to recover stolen funds. The same day, Polymarket was also attacked, with 700 users drained of $2.7 million in funds. 

Apple adds touch to the MacBook  

About time. This is the feature I've been waiting for. The critics will say your laptop isn't meant to touch, but those people haven't lived. Yes, it's not something you do all the time, but the ability to quickly tap the screen to fill in a form, or to scroll on a webpage is really nice! I haven't had a Microsoft Surface in years, but I miss that!  

Does this mean we're one step closer to a single operating system across all the devices?
