The US Department of Justice has charged active-duty service member Gannon Kane Van Dyke, suspected of using classified information for betting on the prediction platform Polymarket. PRESS RELEASE | DOJ State Prosecutors, AMLC Legal Officers secure conviction for violation of AMLA Record-Keeping requirementsRead more: https://t.co/YQZucLJdNe#DOJPH#BagongPilipinas pic.twitter.com/HY2aqYNAQc— Department of Justice (DOJ) (@dojphofficial) April 23, 2026 According to the investigation, Van Dyke was involved in the planning and execution of Operation "Absolute Resolve" to capture former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. With access to confidential data on the mission's timing and details, the military officer allegedly used this information for profit. Court documents reveal that the suspect placed approximately $33,000 on related events and earned over $400,000 in profits. Prosecutors claim that after winning, he attempted to conceal his tracks through an offshore crypto wallet and brokerage account. The charges against the suspect include: illegal use of confidential government information; theft of non-public data; fraud in commodity markets and using electronic communications; illegal financial operations. Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that access to classified information cannot be used for personal gain. The US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton, described the accused's actions as "blatant insider trading." "Our department will continue to hold accountable those who abuse confidential or secret information in ways that undermine and exploit our national security," the prosecutor emphasized. Polymarket stated that they themselves provided authorities with data on the user's suspicious activity, as the platform had previously tightened rules against insider activity. Last month, we published our enhanced market integrity rules to combat insider trading. When we identified a user trading on classified government information, we referred the matter to the DOJ & cooperated with their investigation.Insider trading has no place on Polymarket.…— Polymarket (@Polymarket) April 23, 2026    The 38-year-old Van Dyke faces up to 10 years in prison on four of the five charges. The maximum penalty for fraud using electronic communications is 20 years of imprisonment. In April, two accounts on Polymarket were suspected of manipulation after they earned $37,000 from correct bets on abnormal temperature readings at the Charles de Gaulle Airport weather station in Paris.

Independent researcher Giancarlo Lelli calculated a 15-bit cryptographic key on ECC using a publicly accessible quantum computer, as reported by the startup team Project Eleven.  Project Eleven Awards 1 BTC Q-Day Prize for Largest Quantum Attack on Elliptic Curve Cryptography to DateResearcher breaks 15-bit ECC key on publicly accessible quantum hardware in a 512x jump from the previous public demonstration.Project Eleven today awarded the Q-Day…— Project Eleven (@projecteleven) April 24, 2026 Lelli applied a modification of Shor's algorithm to a search space of 32,767 combinations. This method targets the discrete logarithm problem on elliptic curves, the mathematical foundation of digital signatures used in most blockchains. Project Eleven awarded the researcher 1 BTC as part of the Q-Day Prize program. The initiative was launched in 2025 to crack keys ranging from 1 to 25 bits.  In September, engineer Steve Tippeconnic extracted a six-bit ECC key on a 133-qubit IBM computer. Developers noted that this was the first public attack of its kind on quantum hardware.  Lelli's result surpassed it by 512 times. The project team described the latest experiment as the largest quantum-based attack on elliptic curves to date. The scale of the demonstration is still incomparable to real systems: Bitcoin uses 256-bit ECC for wallet protection. Project Eleven noted the gap. However, programmers consider the transition more of an engineering challenge than a fundamental physical problem.  Preparation Needed  CEO of Project Eleven Alex Pruden stated that the resource requirements for such attacks are decreasing, and the barrier to their practical implementation is gradually lowering. According to him, this underscores the need to transition to post-quantum cryptography. The company also pointed out that about 6.9 million BTC are held in addresses where public keys are already visible on-chain. Should sufficiently powerful quantum systems emerge, such wallets could become the most vulnerable. In recent months, discussions about quantum risks to the crypto market have intensified. Earlier, Google researchers reduced the estimate of quantum power needed to break Bitcoin. However, some believe the issue is exaggerated.  Back in April, Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp and a group of experts presented a draft proposal BIP-361. The initiative suggests freezing coins vulnerable to quantum computers.  The community criticized the idea, calling it authoritarian and confiscatory.  Other blockchains have also begun preparing for a transition to post-quantum cryptography, including Ethereum and Ripple.
