Google says hackers are hijacking cloud servers to run AI models for free

Google says hackers are hijacking cloud computing resources to run artificial intelligence models at no cost, according to a post from @Kalshi on X. The activity centers on abusing cloud-based compute capacity, which lets attackers avoid the high expense normally tied to running large-scale AI models. The claim, as presented in the source brief, does not include technical details about the affected infrastructure, the scale of the abuse, or the identities of the attackers. It does, however, point to a growing security concern around cloud resources being used as a vehicle for unauthorized AI workloads. The report was published by Techub as a short news alert under its technology category.

ThorChain says network halt was an emergency safety measure, not a selective freeze

ThorChain said on Sept. 28 that its recent network halt was an emergency safety mechanism intended to protect protocol security, rejecting claims that the move amounted to a selective freeze on specific funds or an individual swap restriction. The project said the pause was not designed to target particular addresses and reiterated that THORChain is a permissionless blockchain platform built not to censor transactions. The statement came after renewed scrutiny over the protocol’s handling of illicit flows. ThorChain noted that during a security incident in May 2026, $10.7 million was stolen from liquidity pools. Because the attacker’s address had not been blacklisted at the time, it was still able to trade on THORChain. On Sept. 26, Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said addresses tied to the exchange’s security incident had been made public and were under ongoing tracking. Bitget has formally asked THORChain to deny service to those addresses. Chen said decentralization should not be used as a shield to help known stolen funds move, and added that the broader crypto industry is watching how THORChain handles the matter.

Hackers begin releasing alleged Revolut user data, threaten daily leaks unless ransom is paid

The exposed material reportedly includes passports, selfies, and records of Bitcoin transactions. The attackers said they will continue releasing data every day if Revolut does not pay a ransom. Revolut had not issued a public response at the time of reporting. The development centers on the alleged publication of customer information and the hackers' stated threat to keep disclosing more files on a daily basis unless payment is made.

Bloomberg says China-linked hackers doubled attacks after adding open-source AI

Bloomberg reported that hackers linked to the Chinese state have more than doubled the number of cyberattacks they launch after integrating open-source artificial intelligence models such as DeepSeek into their operations. The report said those AI tools are being used to increase both the efficiency and the scale of phishing campaigns, malware generation, and target reconnaissance. The item was published by Techub News, which cited Bloomberg in its brief. No further operational details, timeline breakdown, or named groups were provided in the source text. The report focuses on how open-source AI models are being folded into offensive cyber activity, with the claimed change measured by attack volume rising by more than 100% after the tools were adopted.

CYBERLEEK jumps more than 14x in 24 hours, briefly tops $25 million market cap

CYBERLEEK, a Solana-based meme token tied to the self-described Cyberleek hacking group, briefly pushed past a $25 million market capitalization on Aug. 23, according to GMGN monitoring cited by BlockBeats. The token also hit a fresh all-time high, with its 24-hour gain exceeding 14x and trading volume reaching $36.1 million. BlockBeats said the group launched the token after gaining attention for leaking clips related to Grand Theft Auto VI, or GTA 6. The same group had claimed it would release a PC download client for the game so users could play it for free, despite describing the title as a $2 billion production. That client claim has since been debunked. On Aug. 22, Cyberleek publicly burned about 270 million developer-reserved tokens, roughly 27% of total supply, and framed the move as proof it would not dump its holdings and exit. Even so, the report noted that the group still retains a large amount of tokens and continues to earn money through trading fees. BlockBeats added a cautionary note, saying meme tokens often lack real-world use cases and can see sharp price swings.
