"If you were to tell me that Binance would be hacked for 6.3 billion dollars and Bitcoin would be down less than five percent less than 18 hours later, I would have told you you're crazy." @MartyBent and @BaronKoch21 on the Binance hack.

Power outage hits Washington, D.C. the day before the midterms. Pepco says an event at its I Street Substation in Foggy Bottom left about 1,100 customers without power. Outage maps listed 1,176. The area is blocks from the White House. Traffic lights and some federal facilities, including the State Department, were affected. DC Fire and EMS responded to smoke from multiple manholes on H Street NW. One manhole reportedly exploded in front of the World Bank. Pepco said the cause was under investigation and gave no restoration time at first. By the afternoon, the main outage was largely resolved. popville.com/2026/11/power-…

Apple sent threat notifications to German MPs and ministers saying mercenary spyware was aimed at their iPhones. The alerts started landing on 29 October. Digital minister Karsten Wildberger confirmed it and said it is something that "unfortunately happens from time to time." That is the line that stuck with me. A spyware campaign against lawmakers is treated as a known hazard of the job. The cyber agency BSI is not saying patch and move on. It tells recipients to assume the phone may be compromised, set up a new device with a new number, and skip the full backup restore. When the official fix is replace the phone and the number, the threat model is not a bug. It is a budget with a government's name on it. euronews.com/2026/11/02/ger…
