Ripple announced the integration of artificial intelligence to bolster the security of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) as part of preparations for the network's next phase of scaling. Transition to Proactive Security The company stated a shift from a reactive security model to a proactive approach, where vulnerabilities are identified before they reach production. The new strategy involves using AI at all stages of development—from testing to threat analysis and code change verification. Security is viewed not as a one-time audit but as a continuous process that must scale with the network's growth. What Will Change The updated security model includes: AI-driven code testing and analysis; establishing a specialized "red team" to simulate attacks; tightening requirements for protocol updates and changes; deeper threat modeling and exploitation scenario analysis. According to the company, AI tools have already helped identify several vulnerabilities in the early stages of development. Responding to Network Growth and Complexity Ripple linked the updated approach to the expanded use of XRPL. The network is employed for global payments, asset tokenization, and institutional solutions, increasing reliability demands. The company stated that the blockchain, launched in 2012, has processed over 100 million ledger entries and more than 3 billion transactions, facilitating significant fund transfers. Ripple emphasized that further infrastructure development (including work with tokenized assets and institutional clients) requires a new level of resilience and security, with AI becoming a key architectural element. The advancement of technology heightens threats: malicious actors also begin using similar tools to find vulnerabilities, necessitating a symmetrical response from developers. Earlier, during a two-week experiment, the AI model Claude Opus 4.6 from Anthropic identified 22 vulnerabilities in the Firefox browser. Fourteen issues were classified as highly severe.

This week, "Deconstruction" focuses on Hyperliquid's record, Telegram's reputation maneuvers, the crypto market's preparation for future threats, and the main myth about investing during wartime. Commodity Hype on DEX and Bhutan's Price Pressure Amid the Middle East conflict, the daily trading volume of the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid reached a record $5.4 billion. The secret to its success lies in the platform's ability to allow traders to trade commodity derivatives around the clock with immense liquidity, bypassing traditional markets. Meanwhile, an intriguing factor affecting Bitcoin's price is Bhutan: the kingdom is selling off part of its significant reserves, which it secretly accumulated through mining using local hydroelectric resources. The market continues to debate global trends. Expert Anthony Scaramucci is confident that the current decline is linked to the classic four-year cycle, anticipating a bullish phase in the fourth quarter. However, other analysts note that spot ETFs have already changed the rules of the game, smoothing volatility through the influx of institutional funds. Amid these debates, only Strategy continues to aggressively accumulate Bitcoin, having increased its holdings to over 762,000 coins. The Reputation Maneuver of Nomad Durov Pavel Durov prepaid the debt on the 2021 convertible bonds, announcing the company's profitability. This financial maneuver, for which new papers worth $1.7 billion were previously issued for restructuring, is distinctly reputational. The debt repayment allows Durov to claim he "owes nothing to anyone anymore," countering rumors of dependency on investors allegedly linked to Russian authorities. It also emerged that the messenger team, in collaboration with the creator of OpenClaw, is working on improving the internal agent—directly related to ensuring Telegram's stability in case of blockages. Pavel Durov himself, due to attacks on Dubai, temporarily relocated to Europe, despite an open criminal case in France and a higher crime rate. Ethereum Against the Quantum Threat The Ethereum Foundation has presented a roadmap to protect the network from quantum computers, which, according to some reports, could break modern cryptography within a few years. The first updates will be included in the Higota update this year. The team plans to conduct four hard forks and complete the network restructuring by 2029. Experts cite Ethereum as an example, sharply criticizing the passivity of Bitcoin developers on this issue. The seriousness of the problem is also confirmed by the corporate sector: Google has also planned a transition to new algorithms by 2029, intending to implement post-quantum protection of digital signatures in its cloud services and the new Android 17 operating system. Debunking the Myth of War Profiteering The popular investment advice "buy when there's blood in the streets" has proven to be a myth in the context of real world wars. Historical analysis shows that during global upheavals, exchanges close, states default on obligations, and the investor's task becomes not to multiply but to simply preserve capital. The true beneficiaries of wars were not stock speculators, but neutral bankers and corporations working for state defense. History shows that the winners in global conflicts were either neutral parties (Swiss banks) or contractors. In the Soviet system, where there were no private enterprises, enterprising individuals turned out to be mere fraudsters, ultimately facing execution or imprisonment.

We have gathered the week's most important cybersecurity news. Over 700 browser-based crypto wallets were targeted by an info-stealer. The UK imposed sanctions on Xinbi and scam compounds in Southeast Asia. Malware used Solana to steal crypto data and conduct phishing. A cyberattack on an ignition interlock maker limited access to vehicles. Over 700 browser-based crypto wallets targeted by an info-stealer The new Torg Grabber info-stealer targets sensitive data across 850 browser extensions, including crypto wallets, password managers, note-taking apps and two-factor authentication tools, report cybersecurity researchers at Gen Digital. Initial access is achieved via the ClickFix technique: attackers hijack the clipboard and trick users into executing a malicious PowerShell command. The list of targeted extensions includes 728 crypto wallets such as MetaMask, Phantom and Trust Wallet. Source: Gen Digital. Torg Grabber also harvests data from Discord, Telegram, Steam, VPN tools, email services and desktop versions of crypto apps. Beyond these features, the malware can: create a device fingerprint; enumerate installed software (including 24 antivirus tools); capture desktop screenshots; steal files from the Desktop and Documents folders; execute arbitrary code on the infected device. Since late 2025, scammers have used a more resilient HTTPS connection via Cloudflare’s infrastructure. They also taught the stealer to bypass cookie protections in Chrome, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi and Opera. According to researchers, 334 samples were compiled between December 2025 and February 2026, with new command-and-control servers registered weekly. UK sanctions Xinbi and scam compounds in Southeast Asia On 26 March, the UK government imposed sanctions on the crypto marketplace Xinbi and individuals linked to scam compounds in Southeast Asia. Officials said the platform facilitates the sale of stolen personal data and provides tools to find victims, including satellite internet equipment. The measures restrict the network’s access to financial channels. The sanctions also hit Legend Innovation, operator of #8Park — a large scam compound in Cambodia. Preliminary estimates suggest up to 20,000 forced labourers are held there. The firm’s director, Eang Soklim, and individuals tied to the Prince Group financial network were designated. According to Chainalysis, more than $19.9bn in transactions flowed through Xinbi between 2021 and 2025. In India, law enforcement arrested Sunil Nellatt Ramakrishnan, also known as Krish, on suspicion of trafficking people to fraudulent crypto centres in Myanmar. Authorities say he was a key player in transporting victims from Delhi to Bangkok under the pretext of legal employment in Thailand. People were forcibly moved to the Myawaddy area, including the KK Park complex. Searches at the suspect’s residence linked him to human-trafficking operations in Cambodia. Malware used Solana to steal crypto data and phish Cybersecurity firm Aikido observed a new phase of the GlassWorm campaign. Hackers distribute phishing code bundles that steal developer data and install a remote access trojan. GlassWorm gains access via malicious packages published to developer repositories including npm, PyPI, GitHub and the Open VSX marketplace. Its operators also compromise maintainers’ accounts on popular projects to push poisoned updates. Rather than hard-coding the command server address (where it is easy to find and block), the hackers used a “dead drop” method and hid it on the Solana blockchain. The loader connects to the network and checks preselected crypto wallets, looking for transactions with a memo field. Once found, it extracts the obfuscated link, decrypts it and connects to the remote server. The malware does not infect systems with a Russian locale. Decoding the Solana memo field into the hackers’ remote server link. Source: Aikido. The second stage of the attack includes: theft and collection of data, exfiltration of crypto wallets and system profiling; exfiltration. Collected data is compressed into a ZIP archive and sent to an external server; follow-on downloads. After exfiltration, the chain pulls two more components. The first is a component for detecting USB devices. When a user connects a hardware wallet, a phishing window appears: for Ledger — a fake configuration error with 24 fields for entering the recovery phrase; for Trezor — a “firmware verification failure” message and forced emergency reboot with similar input fields. The second component is a JavaScript RAT. Its download address is extracted from a Google Calendar event description (another “dead drop” method). Its tasks include launching a covert remote desktop module, stealing browser data and executing arbitrary JavaScript. In addition, the trojan forcibly installs the Google Docs Offline extension. It collects a tree of active tabs, up to 5,000 history entries, screenshots and clipboard contents. The extension also monitors crypto exchanges such as Bybit, tracking authorisation tokens and device IDs. Cyberattack on an ignition interlock maker limited access to vehicles Hackers attacked Intoxalock, a US supplier of vehicle ignition interlock systems. Disrupted devices left some owners unable to start their cars, the outlet “Хакер” reported. Intoxalock makes devices that offenders convicted of drink-driving are required to install. To start the engine, a driver must blow into a tube to verify that blood alcohol content is below the legal limit; otherwise the car will not start. In some states the system also records GPS coordinates and routinely photographs the person at the wheel. Source: Intoxalock. According to media reports, the device must be calibrated roughly once a month. Owing to the cyberattack, calibration proved impossible and drivers whose checks had expired were locked out.

The system was restored on 22 March. Intoxalock’s management pledged to reimburse users’ expenses, including vehicle towing. Researcher found a trojan in the LiteLLM AI app Malware for stealing credentials was discovered in the popular LiteLLM AI application, reported Callum McMahon of FutureSearch. LiteLLM lets developers connect to hundreds of different neural networks and manage subscription payments. The project has over 40,000 GitHub stars, thousands of forks, and daily downloads reach 3.4 million. According to McMahon, the virus entered via a third-party software package on which LiteLLM depends. He suspected an infection when his computer suddenly shut down right after installing the software. A bug in the malware itself caused the crash, revealing the presence of the hacker’s code. McMahon and noted developer Andrej Karpathy reached a shared conclusion: the virus was created through “vibe coding” without careful review. How the malware worked: stole any credentials it could find; used them to access other accounts and packages to harvest yet more passwords; propagated along the chain, compromising additional systems. TechCrunch noted that LiteLLM’s website displays badges for major security certifications SOC 2 and ISO 27001, issued after an audit by Delve. The firm bills itself as an AI-based service that automates cybersecurity compliance. According to media reports, Delve had previously been accused of generating fake report data, using questionable auditors and misleading clients about their security posture. Oh damn, I thought this WAS a joke… but no, LiteLLM *really* was "Secured by Delve" (the company that rubber stamped all of these audits, and seems to have been on the edge of fraudlent auditing, but useless for sure)And so unspririsingly LiteLLM was compromised, badly https://t.co/P7FZrsagAb— Gergely Orosz (@GergelyOrosz) March 24, 2026 LiteLLM’s developers mitigated the threat within hours of the tainted release appearing. The company has begun an investigation with Mandiant. Also on ForkLog: Fenbushi Capital’s co-founder offered a bounty for the return of the stolen $42 million.

The company Tether has engaged KPMG to audit its financial statements, according to FT, citing its own sources. Sources indicate that the issuer of the stablecoin USDT will have its internal systems prepared for an independent review by another Big Four firm, PwC. On March 24, Tether announced a competitively awarded agreement with a Big Four auditor but did not disclose the partner's name. Tether Signs Big Four Firm to Complete First Full Audit, Setting a New Quality Standard for the Digital Asset EconomyRead more: https://t.co/rtsB7l4nJL— Tether (@tether) March 24, 2026 According to the press release, the move is intended to underscore confidence that: USDT is fully backed by collateral; has high liquidity; is managed using world-class risk management methods. Tether stated that an institutional-level audit should serve as a signal for the entire industry. The company noted that other stablecoin issuers "settle for minimal transparency." FT journalists believe that a comprehensive financial review is intended to facilitate Tether's planned business expansion in the US and attract funds. In February, the company attempted to raise $15-20 billion at a valuation of $500 billion but faced investor concerns about the risks, given past regulatory issues. Tether assured that in recent years the firm has taken several steps to enhance trust: strengthened reserves, ensuring liquidity and conservative asset management; provided regular updates guaranteeing transparency of reserve composition data; actively collaborated with law enforcement worldwide, helping to identify illegal activities, freeze illicit funds, and protect users; implemented robust compliance and risk management systems, ensuring USDT's status as a safe and reliable digital dollar. Tether's flagship token dominates the stablecoin segment with a total volume of ~$310 billion. USDT's market capitalization exceeds $184 billion. Source: CoinGecko. According to Artemis, in 2025 USDC surpassed Tether's coin in total transferred value — $17.3 trillion versus $12.9 trillion. In 2026, Circle's stablecoin continued to lead in adjusted transaction volume.
