Odaily reports: Yu Yuantan stated that Silicon Valley is engaged in a fierce debate over the pace and safety of AI development. After reviewing the 13 revisions of Anthropic's privacy policy since the first version was released in 2023 and comparing them with the privacy information management system standard ISO/IEC 27701, it was found that Anthropic's user privacy data security risks are increasing. There are three steps by which Anthropic became an "intelligence hub." First, transferring overseas user data to the United States; second, expanding the sources for obtaining user data; third, providing intelligence to U.S. intelligence agencies in exchange for benefits.

Odaily reports that SlowMist has issued an asset theft risk alert regarding FomoPeek App versions 1.1–1.2. Recently, multiple reports of user asset theft have been received. Upon verification, all related incidents involved private key leaks, and some affected users had previously downloaded and used FomoPeek versions 1.1–1.2.
Joint analysis by SlowMist & OKX security teams has confirmed: there is clear evidence that the application was implanted with malicious code. In addition to normal business functions, the app bundles two modules unrelated to its business operations, one of which contains a professional iOS kernel attack framework integrating 8 exploit methods that can automatically select an attack method based on device model and system version (affected iOS versions: iOS 12.0–18.7, 26.0–26.1).
After a successful attack, the app can break through the iOS sandbox isolation mechanism to read and decrypt the system Keychain, and access data files of other apps on the device. Users' private keys, mnemonic phrases, login credentials, chat records, and files stored on the device may all be at risk of exposure. Additionally, the app connects to covert servers unrelated to its public business operations to receive remote commands.
Intercepted plaintext communications show that its attack functionality is currently active and executes automatically on a regular basis. The lower the iOS version running on the device, the higher the potential risk.
If you have ever downloaded or used this app, please immediately: check your account asset and private key security status; create a new account and generate entirely new keys on a secure device confirmed to have never installed this app; transfer assets to the new account as soon as possible; update to the latest iOS version; and do not continue to use or reinstall this app. If you discover any abnormal asset activity, please immediately contact the official customer service of the relevant platform and preserve your device and related evidence for further investigation.

Odaily reports that multi-chain oracle project Switchboard has announced it is ceasing operations. Switchboard Technology Labs, its core development contributor, will gradually wind down remaining operations, all Switchboard implementations will stop being maintained effective immediately, and remaining support will be terminated on September 25. Protocols using its oracle are required to migrate immediately to alternatives such as Pyth and RedStone.
Switchboard stated that AI has reduced the cost of building in-house oracles, the crypto bear market has led to a decline in the number of new public chains and project budgets, and the model of direct collaboration between data providers such as Hyperliquid and S&P shows that protocols may increasingly obtain data directly, thereby weakening the value of third-party oracle networks.
