📰 Ubuntu Snap Prompting Improvements
If you haven’t tried Ubuntu’s ‘Permission Prompting’ feature for a while, there’s more reason to do so in the latest release. Canonical’s Oliver Calder has shared an update on recent improvements to the security feature, which sets out to “empower users” by letting them decide what software can access on the rest of the system at runtime rather than retrospectively.

🚨 BREAKING: $117M in assets stolen from @Balancer in the last 2 hours after a major hack!!!
🔹 Assets stolen are across multiple chains: #Ethereum, #Base, #Optimism, #Sonic, #Polygon, #Berachain – mainly in Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) of $ETH.
Top 5 stolen assets:
• 7,838 $WETH (~$29.1M)
• 6,841 $OSETH (~$26.8M)
• 4,459 $WSTETH (~$20.1M)
• 2,405 $SFRXETH (~$10M)
• 2,038 $RSETH (~$8.67M)
🔹 The hacker is acting quickly: Converting LSTs into $ETH in real-time!
🔹 Big move: Whale account 0x009, dormant for 3 YEARS, just resurfaced after the exploit and withdrew $7.38M worth of assets from #Balancer!
⚠️ ALERT: If you’re still on #Balancer, secure your funds NOW before it’s too late! 🔐
