Liquid Network Hackers Issue Ransom Demand Following Exploit

Hackers behind the Liquid Network exploit sent a ransom note via an OP_RETURN message, accusing Blockstream of negligence and demanding a 10% bounty. The incident involved a range proof cache key collision that allowed approximately 4,000 unbacked L-BTC to be withdrawn. Industry experts discussed the exploit, alongside reports on Trezor's data handling, Navier-Stokes credit issues, an Anthropic researcher's resignation, and the 99% price collapse of LAPTOP.
