The Atlanta-based company said the intrusion was discovered on March 23 and later judged material on April 6, before being […]
Fresh academic work is pushing back against some of the louder claims surrounding quantum computers and Bitcoin, arguing that one feared route of attack — using a quantum machine to dominate mining — remains so physically demanding that it would require energy on an astronomical scale. A separate paper has cast doubt on headline-grabbing “quantum factoring breakthroughs”, arguing with deliberate sarcasm that many such claims can be […]
XRP climbed sharply alongside Bitcoin, but the advance has yet to settle the bigger question hanging over the token: whether this is the start of a durable reversal or another rally inside a broader weak trend.

Solana’s effort to prepare for a future quantum-computing threat is exposing a basic tension for high-speed blockchains: the safer the signature system becomes, the heavier and slower it is likely to be. That trade-off has moved into sharper focus as Bitcoin developers debate draft quantum-safe address proposals, Ethereum’s post-quantum team lays out a multi-year migration plan, and new research from Google and outside experts brings forward the […]

America’s labour market delivered a stronger headline performance in March, but the underlying picture still points to a jobs backdrop that remains exposed to shocks. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 178,000 and the unemployment rate edged down to 4.3 per cent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, offering relief after February’s revised loss of 133,000 jobs. Yet the rebound was flattered by temporary factors, including the return […]
