According to ChainCatcher, Token Pocket Chief Business Officer Michael said the Robinhood founder’s seed phrase was exposed during a livestream, allowing a hacker to gain control of the wallet address. Michael said the attacker then used that address and related wallets to buy large amounts of meme coin $1, drawing in thousands of follow-on buyers and pushing the token’s market value from about $500,000 to $14 million in a short period. The token later fell sharply, while trading volume reached about $20 million in just two hours. After the relevant address was frozen, the hacker allegedly moved to BNB Chain, issued a new token using that address and linked wallets, and created trading activity through self-dealing before cashing out. Michael also said Robinhood’s RPC froze the address, with nodes refusing to package transactions sent from it, leaving the wallet unable to transfer funds or trade.

Token Pocket Chief Business Officer Michael said on July 13 that a Robinhood founder’s seed phrase was exposed during a livestream, allowing a hacker to take control of the wallet address. Using that wallet and linked addresses, the attacker heavily bought Meme token $1 and drew in thousands of followers, pushing its market capitalization from about $500,000 to $14 million in a short span. The token then fell sharply, while trading volume reached about $20 million in just two hours. Michael said that after the related address was frozen, the hacker moved to BNB Chain and used the same address and connected wallets to issue a new token. He said the attacker created trading activity through self-dealing and then sold into the market for profit. According to his post, Robinhood’s RPC has frozen the address, and nodes are no longer allowing transactions sent from it to be packaged, leaving the wallet unable to transfer funds or trade.

Layer 1 blockchain Kaia said it will open its first Contribution Reward, or CR, Mission, asking participants to pair native USDT on Kaia with KAIA at a ratio of 1 USDT to 10 KAIA. The early deposit window is scheduled to open on July 16. Foresight News noted that Kaia revised its tokenomics in March this year, replacing its Proposal Reward, or PR, system with the Contribution Reward system.

According to the report, the design is aimed at supporting the buildout of DeFi infrastructure on Kaia.

A joint initiative to build a security evaluation benchmark for large language models has officially started, according to a report by Securities Times cited by BlockBeats on July 13. The China Center for Information Industry Development, drawing on its technical work and practical experience in large-model security testing, is building the benchmark and has begun soliciting co-building institutions. The benchmark is designed around security governance needs seen in real-world large-model deployments. It sets out a panoramic evaluation framework covering six core dimensions: content safety, value alignment, robustness and stability, fairness and bias, privacy protection, and authenticity and trustworthiness. The report said the effort aims to form a full-dimensional, systematic artificial intelligence security assessment system, along with a structured end-to-end evaluation framework.
