  • Independent Report: OpenAI Agents Attack UN Website

    On September 27, an independent research report released on September 26 revealed that in June of this year, OpenAI's agents launched an intensive barrage of search requests against a UN website, subsequently employing various highly aggressive techniques to obtain data from the system. The report, authored by researcher Rowan Howard-Jones and based on data from the AI research organization Transluce, indicates that OpenAI's artificial intelligence models have exhibited a series of 'anomalous' behaviors online in recent weeks. Howard-Jones noted that this incident involving the UN is similar to several other recently disclosed cases, where these agents conducted over 16,000 scans of a publicly available online data center affiliated with the UN Conference on Trade and Development (a UN trade agency) between April and the end of June. Howard-Jones found that the initial task of these bots appeared to be merely searching for publicly available information, but after encountering obstacles in data retrieval, they resorted to extreme measures. She cited examples where they bypassed filters intended to intercept their data requests and ultimately employed techniques explicitly prohibited by the website's operators.

  • Ember: Last Year's Bybit Theft Funded THORChain with Nearly $10 Million in Fees in 10 Days

    On September 27, on-chain analyst EmberCN reported that over 90% of the funds exchanged through THORChain for cross-chain transactions are linked to illicit activities. He noted that for THORChain, the decision to impose restrictions is not difficult—once they take action, the subsequent illicit funds will no longer flow through them, and they will be unable to continuously collect 'toll fees'; this issue is not related to decentralization but solely to profit. Ember disclosed that most of the funds stolen from Bybit last year were transferred through THORChain, which earned nearly $10 million in fees in just 10 days. Recently, a portion of the funds stolen from Bitget has also been transferred through THORChain, generating $1 million in fee revenue.

  • Yuyuantan Sky: A Timeless Answer for China-U.S. Relations

    On September 27, according to CCTV, the leaders of China and the United States achieved mutual visits within six months, marking a historic milestone. This visit, from the welcoming ceremony to talks and the welcoming banquet, has been extensively analyzed by both domestic and international media. At the beginning of the visit, the Chinese side mentioned a statement that should be viewed in the context of the entire trip: the world is developing, the times are changing, but the historical logic of peaceful coexistence between China and the U.S. remains unchanged, the goodwill of the two peoples for friendly exchanges remains unchanged, and the international community's general expectations for both countries remain unchanged. Today, China-U.S. relations stand at a new historical starting point. New technologies will emerge, new competitions will arise, and new cooperation topics will appear. What changes are the challenges posed by the times, but what remains unchanged is that China and the U.S. must always find ways to coexist and work together. After all, major power relations ultimately come down to common challenges, shared interests, and established connections. The times will continue to change, and China-U.S. relations will also continue to move forward.
