The Guardian reported that Binance is addressing a cryptocurrency hack valued at $6.3bn, described as a record. The exchange, described as the world's largest, is dealing with the consequences among customers who have expressed concern about the incident. The Guardian also reported on Lula's victory, linking it to political mobilisation through WhatsApp. The report was published in TechScape, a newsletter focused on how technology shapes everyday life. The newsletter said its author will attend Web Summit in Lisbon next week and will moderate panels covering open-source AI and human agency in the age of AI agents. Readers affected by the Binance hack were invited to share their experiences. Other subjects covered in the edition included Polymarket temporarily suspending trading on its international platform following a security incident, and how cryptocurrency hacking funds North Korea's nuclear programme despite its isolation. The Guardian also looked at AI's role in searches for the supernatural, and at psychics responding to AI-generated readings. Further coverage examined technology in the US midterms, including $446m spent by Elon Musk, a proposed billionaire tax in California described as originating from a union leader's idea, and spending of one million dollars a day by wealthy opponents of that tax proposal.
