๐จ Nightmare day for cybersecurity
Multiple major security incidents, active exploits, supply chain compromises...
If you run production systems, start patching NOW.
PHP: Two critical unauthenticated RCEs. Attackers already exploiting them. Patch NOW
LiteLLM: v1.107.0 on PyPI and Docker is BACKDOORED. Steals cloud, SSH, and AI credentials. Pin 1.106.2. Rotate secrets.
eMudhra: A certificate authority's keys were crackable. Update your browsers, systems, and trust stores.
Node.js / Next.js / React: Security releases for Brotli RCE, TLS bypasses, and TWO critical Next.js RCEs.
TiDB Cloud: PingCAP breached through stolen credentials. Customer information and other sensitive data exfiltrated. Read the attacker's release, fun stuff.
Plex2Shell: Weaponized within HOURS of the PoC. Attackers already deploying cryptominers and proxy backdoors.
BeyondTrust / Ivanti: Actively exploited zero-days added to CISA's KEV catalog. BeyondTrust attacks linked to a China-nexus campaign.
And that's not even the full list.
Patch. Audit. Rotate. NOW.

LFG!
๐ณ๐ฌ๐ We won the Machine Money Track at BOSS Battle 2026!
Huge thanks to @bitshala_org, @btrust_builders the organizers, judges, and everyone who supported us. We built Infernos โ permissionless AI inference paid with Bitcoin Lightning. Here's the story behind our journey ๐ ๐

What does it take to build a pathway for developers to find their place in Bitcoin open source?
In the latest episode of Btrust in Focus, @proofofpaul sits down with @StephTitcombe, Head of Program & Operations at Btrust, to discuss the evolution of Btrust Builders and what it takes to support developers as they enter, grow and contribute to the Bitcoin ecosystem.
They talk about the lessons that have shaped the program, the communities and projects that have grown around it, and the role of mentorship in creating a cycle where developers eventually become mentors and leaders themselves.
Stephanie also shares what comes next for @btrust_builders, from expanding its technical pathways and supporting local communities to creating more opportunities for developers to build together.

Up @BitDevsKaduna ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ
Weโre excited to announce the Q3 2026 Btrust developer grant recipients. ๐
Ten Bitcoin open-source developers are receiving support: five starter grant recipients and five long-term open-source cohort members.
This quarter also marks an important first: Btrust developer grants are going directly to developers outside Africa. Through our recent expansion of long-term grants across the Global Majority, weโre now supporting developers in Brazil ๐ง๐ท and India ๐ฎ๐ณ.
Their work, alongside that of recipients in Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ and Kenya ๐ฐ๐ช, spans @bitcoincoreorg, mining โ๏ธ infrastructure, Lightningโก, wallet libraries, and privacy-preserving payments.
Meet the recipients and learn about their work:

What if adding Bitcoin and Lightning payments to your app was actually... easy? ๐
Wavelength makes it happen. Self-custodial payments where users always hold their keys, with no node or liquidity management required. From consumer apps to AI agent payments, Wavelength is how Bitcoin and Lightning come to life in your app.

Ark Protocol Explainers โ๏ธ๐ข
I'll be stepping away from the Bitcoin space for a bit, but before I do I wanted to leave one last thing behind: a three part series on how the Ark protocol actually works.
VTXOs, Connectors, Checkpoint Txs, OOR and more!

Running LND in production means knowing when to upgrade. The new published policy gives you that clarity.
Lightning Labs maintains the two most recent release lines, and both get security fixes. A line reaches end of life when the second major release after it ships, so support tracks releases, not a calendar date. Once a line reaches end of life, it gets no further fixes.
Run the latest minor of a maintained line to keep getting LND security fixes. As of today, the latest minors of maintained lines are v0.21.2 and v0.20.3.

a critical vuln has been discovered in BTCPay server that can lead to direct loss of funds!! ๐จ
if you run a public BTCPay server instance update as soon as possible ๐
There is a critical vulnerability being actively exploited on BTCPay Server, which can result in the loss of funds.
Please update your BTCPayServer to 2.4.2 by going to Admin Dashboard -> Server -> Maintenance -> Update & verify the 2.4.2 version string in the footer.
If you are unable to update right away, turn off your BTCPay Server to prevent unauthorized access until you can update.

Iโve been working towards AGI my whole life, and as we enter this pivotal moment, Iโm stepping into a new role as Chair of Google DeepMind & Chief Scientist of Alphabet. This will allow me to focus on long-term strategy, and accelerating scientific breakthroughs, including leaning into my work at Isomorphic to help cure disease.
Iโm excited that @koraykv will be stepping up to lead GDM as SVP, alongside @joshwoodward and our exec team. I could not be more excited and confident about our amazing next chapter! ๐

Could quantum computers one day threaten Bitcoinโs security, and what would it take to prepare?
The answer is not as simple as adopting new cryptography. Every option comes with trade-offs for transaction size, fees, storage, network performance and decentralization.
In our latest article, Btrust grantee @SulaimanAminuB2 explains the risk, assesses the leading post-quantum options and looks at how Bitcoin could move forward carefully.
