Crypto regulation should *force* self custody. No reason for pretend audits of funds. Banning exchanges from holding users funds AT ALL is the optimal solution.

That’s literally what the innovation is behind crypto. And we are ignoring it, and building banks instead.

Keplr Wallet @keplrwallet 3d
We have received reports of unauthorized transactions on some Keplr accounts created with Google or Apple login. We flagged this to the @Web3Auth team and have been working with them on the investigation since.

Based on our initial assessment: if you created your Keplr wallet with a recovery phrase or a hardware wallet, you are NOT affected.

If you created your Keplr account with Google or Apple login, your account may be affected. While we investigate:
– Do not send new funds to that account.
– Do not re-import or recreate it anywhere.
– Google/Apple login is paused for now.
– Trust updates only from this account. Ignore DMs or links offering “recovery”.

We will share verified details and next steps here as soon as we have them.

I’ve been saying this a lot to my non-engineer friends. Not many people understand how messy and insecure the digital world around them is.

I’ve built software in 5 different industries over the last 30 years. Most code sucks. “Well designed and security hardened” is very very rare. Like unicorn rare.

AI programmers is the natural progression of tech for the simple reason that human programmers are slow, make a lot of mistakes, and are expensive.

70 years of tech debt is going to be paid off in the next couple years, and everyone will be safer, and it was a collaborative effort by humanity. How rare.

Every tech worker for the past 30 years has used forums, chats, Reddit, stackoverflow, Wikipedia, etc to fully document and provide information sharing amongst ourselves.

Other engineers trained large language models over all this documented knowledge while others made hardware that could train models faster. Then even more engineers put those models to use to patch vulnerabilities.

The machines are patching it now. It’s their problem. Relax. We’ll have more secure software.

We all did this together.

Be proud.

It's a half century of thinking your CPU is a very very fast PDP-11, and that C is a good way to program it, all coming due at once.

Most software is garbage. Malpractice level garbage. We've been trying to tell you for a while.
