Paris-based startup C12 has unveiled its proprietary Pick & Place technology for the precise manufacturing of quantum processors using carbon nanotubes. Source: C12. The method enables the transfer of individual nanotubes onto silicon chips with micrometer precision in vacuum or inert atmospheres. A key feature of this approach is the ability to pre-test and select nanotubes before integrating them into the crystal, addressing one of the main challenges of quantum equipment—the variability of qubit characteristics. According to the company, by optimizing and partially automating the process, engineers assembled 50 devices over the past four weeks. For comparison, in 2025, it took an entire year to assemble a similar number of components. The Pick & Place technology also facilitates the creation of multi-qubit structures. As evidence, C12 demonstrated the High-Density chip, which integrates 17 quantum devices on a single substrate. “We have adapted advanced semiconductor packaging principles to the nanoscale. This opens up possibilities for mass production of quantum chips,” said C12's Chief Technology Officer Mathieu Desjardins. The development is part of the company's roadmap, published in April 2026. The strategy envisions transitioning from the first logical qubit to systems with 100,000 physical qubits by 2033. C12 emphasized that establishing a reproducible manufacturing base is critical to achieving these goals. Source: C12. On June 1, D-Wave Quantum revealed plans to develop a fault-tolerant quantum computer with 100 logical qubits by 2032.

Hackers have exploited Meta's AI support assistant to seize numerous Instagram accounts. This was reported by 404 Media, citing security researchers' reports. The hackers employed a direct "prompt injection" method. They instructed the chatbot to change the email address linked to the profile. The only additional requirement for the operation's success was using a VPN with a geolocation matching the true owner's data. Once the bot changed the email in the settings without further identity verification, the attackers initiated the standard password reset procedure and gained full control over the account. Scope of the Issue Among the compromised profiles were the White House's archival account from Barack Obama's era, the page of U.S. Space Force Chief Master Sergeant John Bentivegna, and the official profile of the Sephora brand. Former Meta employee Jane Wong stated that her personal accounts were also hacked. Hackers managed to post pro-Iranian content on the White House profile. Other attackers targeted rare "short" usernames for resale on dark forums. The Meta AI Support Assistant was launched in March. The company marketed it as a solution for end-to-end access recovery automation. Company representative Andy Stone announced that the vulnerability has been fixed. This issue has been resolved and we are securing impacted accounts.— Andy Stone (@andymstone) June 1, 2026 Expert Opinions Experts interviewed by MIT Technology Review described the incident as a failure of basic security protocols. University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor Somesh Jha noted that AI agents are "too eager to complete tasks" and overlook control questions that a human would necessarily ask. Experts emphasized that Meta neglected thorough "red testing" before deploying AI in critical areas like security settings management. In May, Socket reported on a supply chain attack targeting cryptocurrency and AI systems developers.

Disclaimer ForkLog is categorically against drugs and does not promote their sale or purchase. All materials are provided for informational purposes only. Chainalysis analysts have recorded an explosive growth in the turnover of the gray market for peptides. According to a report, the annual volume of on-chain payments in this sector has exceeded $100 million. Experts noted that in the first quarter of 2026 alone, the inflow of funds jumped by 159% — from $12 million to $32 million. Forecasts suggest that in the second quarter, the figure will reach $39 million. Source: Chainalysis. Analysts attribute the growing popularity of these substances to the shortage and high cost of official weight-loss drugs (like Ozempic). Due to banking restrictions on the sale of non-prescription compounds, the industry has almost entirely shifted to using Bitcoin and stablecoins. TikTok and the 'Looksmaxxing' Ideology Specialists identified three stages of market development. Until 2025, it remained niche with an average inflow of about $200,000 per month. This was followed by a surge of interest amid political events in the US — particularly, Robert Kennedy Jr.'s promotion of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiative. However, the key catalyst came at the end of 2025, when the topic of peptides went viral on TikTok within the 'looksmaxxing' subculture (the pursuit of radical appearance improvement). Source: Chainalysis. Against this backdrop, average monthly revenues for sellers rose to $9.9 million. According to the report, influencers actively promote Chinese suppliers, ignoring the risks of side effects. Meanwhile, minors are increasingly found in communities and Discord channels, seeking ways to bypass KYC to purchase substances. Decline in Safety Controls As an indicator of buyer behavior, Chainalysis cited data from Janoshik laboratory (Czech Republic), which specializes in testing the chemical purity of substances. Since 2023, wallets associated with it have received over $12 million in cryptocurrency. Source: Chainalysis. Despite the overall revenue growth of the laboratory, average spending on substance testing per buyer fell by 88% — to $8. Consumers increasingly trust certificates published by sellers themselves. Analysts warned: such documents often confirm the purity of the substance but not its sterility, which is deadly dangerous for injections. Source: Chainalysis. Links to Drug Cartels Chainalysis found that several major peptide suppliers are Chinese chemical companies that previously supplied drug cartels with precursors for fentanyl and amphetamine. Under regulatory pressure, they shifted to a less legally risky but more profitable D2C format. The report mentions two companies: Shanghai Sigma Audley: previously identified as a supplier of fentanyl precursors, including for darknet marketplaces. In 2025, the company began selling 'cosmetic' peptides on Reddit, using the same contact phone number as in ads for drug raw materials; Bigreat Technology: a supplier of reagents for synthetic drugs focusing on the Russian and Kazakh markets. Under the pseudonym Zhengzhou DEPU Technology, the firm switched to retailing weight-loss substances for cryptocurrency. Source: Chainalysis. Analysts emphasized that blockchain transparency allows tracking such transformations of illegal supply chains in real-time. Between 2020 and 2025, the volume of money laundering through cryptocurrencies increased from $10 billion to $82 billion.
