A Confidential Informants Deepfake Indicted An Innocent Person

getty　　Federal prosecutors indicted an innocent person on fabricated audiovisual evidence last winter. Nobody challenged the file as a deepfake. The fake only came out when the confidential informant who produced it pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice at his own sentencing hearing.　　The case appears in the first federal survey of judges on how courts handle deepfake challenges, released March 25, 2026 by the Federal Judicial Center. Of the 931 federal judges and magistrates who responded, only 15 had ever fielded a challenge to audiovisual evidence as a deepfake. The response rate was 45 percent. Two-thirds of those 15 had seen just one such challenge across calendar years 2024 and 2025. Most cases were civil.　　Late last year, federal and state judges told reporters they were not ready for AI-generated evidence in court. The new survey shows what “ready” looks like from the bench. The Texas indictment shows why the count of past challenges does not measure the size of the problem.　　The Federal Judicial Center pulled four of the challenged cases from PACER. One was tossed on a procedural deadline before the court reached the merits. Another turned out to involve a zoomed-in clip of evidence already admitted. That is not what

Saylors Strategy May Slow BTC Buys after $28B STRC Issuance Cap: Delphi

Bitcoin　　Saylors Strategy May Slow BTC Buys after $28B STRC Issuance Cap: Delphi　　Strategy‘s preferred stock funding engine could hit a key constraint within the next year, potentially slowing the company’s Bitcoin purchases unless it expands issuance capacity or leans more heavily on common-stock sales, according to Delphi Digital.　　Delphi said Strategy‘s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, known as STRC, has become one of the company’s main Bitcoin-buying tools but has an authorized issuance cap of about $28.3 billion.　　If the cap is reached without an extension, Strategys Bitcoin accumulation could “slow or stop while the dividend obligation remains,” the report said.　　The report highlights how one of Strategys main capital-raising mechanisms is approaching an inflection point that may dictate the BTC accumulation rate of the largest corporate Bitcoin holder.　　The report comes after Strategy announced another 535 Bitcoin acquisition for $43 million on Monday, marking its first investment since April 27, when the company bought 3,273 BTC for $255 million. The filing showed that only about $100,000 worth of capital was funded from the issuance of STRC stock, while the majority of the acquisition, or $42.9 million, was funded through the sales of Class A common stock (MSTR).　　STRC was first introduced by

CertiK reports North Korea laundered billions through crypto theft, now shifting to physical infiltration

Crypto　　CertiK reports North Korea laundered billions through crypto theft, now shifting to physical infiltration　　North Korea has turned crypto theft into something resembling a nationalized industry. And business is booming.　　A new report from blockchain security firm CertiK attributes roughly $2.06 billion of the $3.4 billion lost to crypto hacks in 2025 to groups linked to the Democratic People‘s Republic of Korea. That’s 60% of the entire industrys security losses for the year, spread across just 79 of 656 documented incidents.　　Put differently, DPRK-linked hackers accounted for 12% of all reported attacks but walked away with the majority of the money.　　The numbers keep getting worse　　CertiKs Skynet DPRK Crypto Threats Report, shared with Cointelegraph on Tuesday, paints a picture of escalating sophistication. Between 2016 and early 2026, North Korean hacking groups stole approximately $6.75 billion in digital assets across 263 incidents. CertiK itself notes that figure is likely understated.　　And 2026 isnt starting any better. So far this year, DPRK hackers have already claimed $620.9 million of the $1.1 billion in crypto losses reported, led by a $291 million exploit targeting KelpDAO.　　The proceeds are funneled directly into funding North Korea‘s nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Crypto theft has become, in CertiK’s assessment, a state-managed revenue

Gold inches higher above $4,650 amid Trump–Xi summit hopes

Finance　　Gold inches higher above $4,650 amid Trump–Xi summit hopes　　Gold price (XAU/USD) recovers some lost ground around $4,660 during the early Asian session on Friday. However, the potential upside for the precious metal might be limited as the prospects of US rate cuts have largely faded. Traders will closely monitor US President Donald Trumps meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing.　　Trump and Xi called for a better US-China relationship on Thursday as they began a two-day summit likely to cover issues ranging from tariffs to artificial intelligence. Xi reportedly told the US business leaders their companies could be “deeply involved in China‘s reform and opening up” and that “China’s door will only open wider.”　　Trump said after Thursdays meetings that Xi offered help to resolve the conflict and pledged not to provide military equipment to Iran. Xi also wants to see the critical Strait of Hormuz reopened.　　“The market is trying to decipher the likelihood of a potential end to hostilities in the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz reopening fully,” said Nicholas Frappell, global head of institutional markets at ABC Refinery. “Gold will get a boost from a softer dollar and less aggressive policy tightening from central banks if the

Indias IT shares hit three-year low as OpenAI move revives AI fears

Indias biggest technology stocks just had their worst stretch in years, and the catalyst was not an earnings miss or a regulatory crackdown. It was OpenAI announcing a new enterprise AI venture backed by more than $4 billion.　　The Nifty IT index dropped 3.7% on May 12, marking its third consecutive session of losses and dragging the benchmark to levels not seen since May 2023. Service-oriented heavyweights like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro bore the brunt of the sell-off, as investors rushed to reprice what AI-native competitors could mean for the traditional outsourcing model that has powered Indias tech economy for decades.　　What happened and why it matters　　The new venture, armed with billions in capital, is aimed squarely at enterprise customers. The same enterprise customers that currently pay Indian IT firms to build, maintain, and manage their technology stacks.　　The sell-off was concentrated in service-based IT firms, the companies most exposed to the risk that AI tools could automate significant chunks of what their employees do today. Profit booking accelerated as traders who had been sitting on gains decided the risk-reward calculus had shifted.　　As of May 13, no meaningful rebound had materialized. The index remained near its three-year trough, suggesting this was not a
