A counterfeit Ledger Live app in the App Store enabled hackers to steal cryptocurrency worth at least $9.5 million, according to on-chain detective ZachXBT.  On April 13, one victim, G. Love frontman Garrett Dutton, revealed that he lost all his savings of 5.9 BTC (about $420,000) accumulated over 10 years to this scheme. He explained that he downloaded the wallet on a new computer and entered the seed phrase, only to find the software was fraudulent.  ZachXBT traced the stolen assets, which were moved through a series of transactions to the KuCoin exchange. The expert later clarified that the perpetrators used this platform to launder the stolen cryptocurrency.  C) Want to explain to the community why Kucoin allowed a threat actor to launder $9.5M+ tied to a fake Ledger app via 150+ Kucoin deposit addresses over the past week?A few days before that another threat actor laundered $3.5M+ from the Bitcoin Depot incident via 25+ Kucoin… pic.twitter.com/vo7jb1rdwu— ZachXBT (@zachxbt) April 14, 2026 "Over the past week, $9.5 million stolen through a fake Ledger app was laundered via more than 150 KuCoin deposit addresses. A few days earlier, $3.5 million from the Bitcoin Depot hack was moved through 25+ wallets on the platform," he wrote.  The incident affected more than just the musician. Over 50 users across various networks, including Bitcoin, TRON, Solana, and XRP Ledger, were also victimized.  The phishing campaign ran from April 7 to 13. Among the largest losses were:  $3.23 million in USDT; $2.08 million in USDC; $1.95 million in BTC, ETH, and stETH. In all cases, victims entered their seed phrase into the fake app, giving perpetrators full control over their wallets. ZachXBT also discovered that all deposit addresses on KuCoin, through which the stolen assets were moved, are linked to the AudiA6 service. This is a centralized crypto mixer that charges high fees for concealing illicit flows.  At the time of writing, Apple has removed the fake Ledger Live from the App Store. However, it remains unclear how this software passed moderation.  The on-chain detective suggested that the corporation might face legal consequences given the scale of the losses.  Ledger did not comment on the incident. However, the wallet team reminded users of basic phishing protection rules.  Protecting your digital life starts with staying alert to scams and phishing attempts.As digital ownership grows, fraud is becoming more sophisticated, and more frequent.Here are a few security reminders to keep top of mind 🧵 pic.twitter.com/az2Exj7cOu— Ledger (@Ledger) April 13, 2026 First Quarter Losses  Experts at Hacken calculated that in the first quarter, Web3 projects lost $482 million due to hacks and fraud.  During the reporting period, phishing and social engineering attacks dominated. As a result of 44 incidents, hackers stole $306 million.  Source: Hacken.  According to experts, the largest incidents occur not in on-chain code but at the operational and infrastructure levels, which traditional audits almost never cover. Analysts cited examples such as:  phishing, which cost the industry $306 million; a fake call from a "venture capitalist" (actually a North Korean hacker) to Step Finance, resulting in the project losing $40 million; the compromise of AWS key management service at Resolv Labs — $25 million. Even where smart contracts are to blame, the most costly mistakes often involved old deployments and known vulnerability classes: Truebit lost $26.4 million due to an error in a Solidity contract deployed about five years ago; Venus Protocol suffered from a classic price oracle manipulation scheme known since 2022. Audited projects (Resolv — 18 audits, Venus — five) lost $37.7 million. On average, their losses are higher than those of projects without audits. Protocols with a large TVL become targets for the most experienced hackers, noted Hacken.  Earlier in April, Solana project Drift Protocol lost $280 million. Experts linked the hack to the Lazarus group from North Korea.

Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, stated that the goal is to make digital asset transfers "as simple as sending a message"—without intermediaries and loss of control. Transaction fees are paid in the transferred asset. Private keys remain with the user, and operations are signed locally on the device. The company stated that the new product makes Tether's payment infrastructure directly accessible to users, not just as an internal layer for crypto markets. The application targets "billions of people without access to the traditional financial system."  "More than 570 million users already use Tether technology, and the next step is to make this infrastructure even more accessible and convenient for end users. […] tether.wallet is a 'people's wallet' because it truly reflects the natural evolution of our company's role," commented Ardoino.  Earlier in April, Tether introduced the QVAC SDK toolkit for launching AI on any device.

China has launched a national action plan to integrate artificial intelligence into its education system, as reported by SCMP. The initiative aims to ensure a competitive workforce for the future amid intensifying global competition in advanced technologies. The AI+ Education plan was introduced by the Ministry of Education in collaboration with four other agencies. It calls for the integration of AI at all stages of learning—from primary school to lifelong professional training. The initiative is part of China's long-term education development plan through 2035, published in January of last year. The document identifies artificial intelligence as a key driver of educational reform, aimed at meeting the needs of the digital economy and future industries. The authors described it as a direct response to fierce global competition, where major economies like the US, EU, and Singapore have launched programs to increase investment in AI education and training. “By redefining the skills needed for the modern era, AI necessitates a systemic and fundamental overhaul of education,” authorities emphasized. A central component of the plan is the creation of a nationwide infrastructure. Rather than relying on fragmented local projects, the government will consolidate computing platforms and data networks into a unified service. This centralized approach is intended to ensure efficiency. Three Phases The plan outlines a multi-tiered strategy for integrating AI across all educational sectors: At the basic level, schools are to offer lessons aimed at fostering curiosity and problem-solving skills; Universities will introduce foundational AI courses to encourage interdisciplinary innovation; Vocational and continuing education programs will focus on the “intelligent transformation” of traditional roles and provide broad access to AI learning opportunities for the population. To support the transition, Beijing plans to reform the teacher training system by including AI knowledge in certification and licensing requirements. The plan's funding will come from the central budget. In 2024, in the United States, the use of artificial intelligence in education increased significantly.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a statement clarifying the interpretation of software interfaces for cryptocurrency transactions under broker-dealer regulations. NEW 🚨: As part of Project Crypto, the Division of Trading and Markets issued a staff statement providing its views on broker-dealer registration requirements in connection with certain interfaces used to prepare transactions in crypto asset securities.https://t.co/8jCwFOJZcw pic.twitter.com/gmp7jbBhgV— U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (@SECGov) April 13, 2026 Staff from the Commission's Division of Trading and Markets indicated that solutions for operations through self-custodial wallets may be exempt from registration under certain circumstances. The main condition is not to steer investors towards specific transactions involving crypto asset securities. It is also required not to comment on transaction execution paths and to comply with other SEC standards. The clarification does not have the force of an official regulatory rule, which requires public discussion. However, it "provides greater clarity in the application of laws," the authors noted. Commissioner Hester Peirce supported the initiative. However, she emphasized that she would prefer a "more sustainable regulatory approach"—a revision of the broker definition considering current market conditions. New SEC staff statement on interfaces: https://t.co/9PnfmDrtFnAnd why we need rulemaking (so sharpen your pencils to weigh in): https://t.co/KcqpxIln1P— Hester Peirce (@HesterPeirce) April 13, 2026 "Cryptocurrencies force the Commission to wrestle with internal demons that have driven it towards ever broader interpretations of securities laws," added the "crypto mom."
