That said, after getting throttled, I’ve toned down my attitude a lot — no point in ranting when it does absolutely nothing.

The past few weeks of back-and-forth on X have felt like going in circles — constantly experimenting with its rules but getting nowhere. For someone trying to leverage X for growth, it’s been incredibly unfriendly.

Coinbase data leak could put users in physical danger: TechCrunch founder A recent data breach at Coinbase, the world's third-largest cryptocurrency exchange, has raised concerns about user safety after hackers gained access to sensitive information, including home addresses. The breach is estimated to have affected less than 1% of Coinbase's transacting monthly users and may cost the exchange up to $400 million in reimbursement expenses. However, the human cost of the breach may be much higher for users, with some experts warning that it could lead to physical harm or even death. The hackers reportedly bribed overseas customer service contractors to access internal systems, allowing them to steal personal data that could be used in social engineering scams or physical extortion attempts. No passwords, private keys, or account funds were exposed, but the leaked data could still be used to target high-net-worth individuals. With the growing value of cryptocurrency, crypto wealth has become a target for criminals, and experts warn that leaked address data could expose individuals to real-world risks. There have been several reported cases of violent robberies targeting cryptocurrency investors, including a recent incident in Paris where the father of a French crypto entrepreneur was abducted and held for ransom. To prevent similar breaches, crypto exchanges need to adopt a layered defense strategy, including privileged access management, zero trust architecture, and continuous monitoring with behavioral analytics. The rising threat of social engineering schemes, such as phishing scams, is also a major concern, with these types of attacks costing the industry over $1 billion in 2024. Crypto exchanges will need to rethink their security posture to protect against these types of threats, which increasingly target human vulnerabilities rather than technical ones.

Haha, the official Microsoft Developer account actually replied to me — I'm so happy! 🤩

Both Microsoft and GitHub announced support for a coding agent that you can assign a pull request and it goes off and sorts it (or at least tries). Microsoft: this is within Copilot. Google: called Jules (uses GitHub)

Feels like Big Tech eating coding startups’ lunch already.

Who would've thought — Microsoft is now 50 years old.❤️ #MSBuild

It's cool that Microsoft released a new text mode editor, but I must point out that the original MS-DOS 5 editor was officially called "Microsoft Editor", and not EDIT.

Microsoft has been so adorable these past couple of years — really starting to feel more and more Unix-like.❤️

Although Xcode is among the top 3 for visualization in the IDE, after this packaging process, I think its toolchain is more complex than Android’s command line, and its usability is too low. #Unity #iOSDev #buildinpublic

For now, I’ll briefly note these issues. I’ll update with detailed solutions later.
To add some project background, we are developing a synthesis-type mini-game, using the Unity game engine, and preparing to launch on iOS.

Got slapped with a "temporary tag" again—now I'm shadowbanned for 7 to 20 days under observation. WTF. I'm a brand-new legit account, only posting tech tweets, and they still limit my reach. Seriously, what the hell. #ShadowBanned #RIPTwitter

x is now full of hot spots. I just added two more hashtags, and they gave me a temporary tag again—damn. #ElonsPlayground #RIPTwitter

Why is the Coinbase hack getting so little attention? I scrolled through my timeline for ages and saw nothing. Besides proving X's timeline is getting worse, it seems Web3 security incidents are fading from people's radar. #defi #Coinbase

Decentralized finance is booming − and so are the security risks. My team surveyed nearly 500 crypto investors and uncovered the most common mistakes Researchers identified 5 major security pitfalls – and how to steer clear of them.

#DeFi isn't as secure as many think.

This new study reveals 5 common mistakes crypto investors make—like overtrusting 2FA, neglecting token approvals, and more ⬇️

In decentralized finance (DeFi), users have full control over their assets, eliminating the need to trust a central authority. However, this autonomy comes with the responsibility of safeguarding one's private keys. #coinbasehack

In centralized finance (CeFi) platforms, users' cryptocurrency assets are typically held by the platform, meaning users do not directly control their private keys. #coinbasehack

Perhaps, this is the current state of Web3:

① Declining trust in CeFi
② Increasing focus on DeFi
③ Diminishing reactions to security incidents

We need to reassess our priorities. #web3 #coinbase #defi
