BackyardProduction/iStock Editorial via Getty Images BlockFills is preparing for restructuring amid the recent crypto downturn, with the Susquehanna-backed crypto lender having sought restructuring advice from consulting firm BRG and lawyers Katten Muchin Rosenman, the Financial Times reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Last month, the Chicago-based company had said it temporarily suspended client deposits and withdrawals, given the recent market and financial conditions. BlockFills has since told potential new investors that it previously suffered inaccuracies in its financial reporting, the Friday, March 6, report noted. The company is also said to be battling a lawsuit from one of its clients, Dominion Capital, which alleges that the company improperly handled customer funds. Consequently, a Manhattan federal judge imposed a temporary restraining order on BlockFills. According to the FT, BlockFills is one of the first firms to fall victim to the recent crypto downturn. Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) has lost ~23% year-to-date and Ethereum ( ETH-USD ) ~34%. Meanwhile, the crypto-linked stocks are largely in the red, with significant losses seen across Robinhood Markets ( HOOD ) (~32% lower YTD), Bitmine Immersion Technologies ( BMNR ) (~30% lower YTD), and Figure Technology Solutions ( FIGR ) (~24% lower YTD).

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has ordered federal agencies to patch three critical iOS vulnerabilities that were exploited over a 10-month span in hacking campaigns conducted by three distinct groups. The hacking campaigns came to light on Thursday in a report published by Google. All three campaigns used Coruna, the name of an advanced hacking kit that amassed 23 separate iOS exploits into five potent exploit chains. While some of the vulnerabilities had been exploited as zero-days in earlier, unrelated campaigns, all had been patched by the time Google observed them being exploited by Coruna. When used against older iOS versions, the kit nonetheless posed a formidable threat given the high caliber of the exploit code and the wide range of capabilities. The case of the promiscuous 2nd-hand zero-days “The core technical value of this exploit kit lies in its comprehensive collection of iOS exploits,” Google researchers wrote. “The exploits feature extensive documentation, including docstrings and comments authored in native English. The most advanced ones are using non-public exploitation techniques and mitigation bypasses.” Read full article Comments

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright is calling to restart a shuttered nuclear plant north of New York City, saying it is needed to meet surging demand for power. Wright was joined by New York Congressman Mike Lawler as they toured the Indian Point nuclear plant, which was shuttered in 2021. “This facility right behind me can be rebuilt,” Lawler said Friday. “This facility could generate the power that is needed for New York.” Owner Holtec International is in the process of decommissioning the site. Spokesman Patrick O’Brien said the company has no plans to restart the facility but it could be done, for about $10 billion to $12 billion, and it would take about five years.

Nearly 20,000 Americans Have Safely Returned Home From The Mid-East: State Dept Authored by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), Nearly 20,000 U.S. citizens have returned safely from the Middle East since Feb. 28 , when the Iran conflict broke out, Dylan Johnson, assistant secretary at the Bureau of Global Public Affairs, said in a March 5 statement. Smoke rises from a reported Iranian strike in the industrial district of Doha, Qatar, on March 1, 2026. Mahmud Hams/AFP via Getty Images “These figures do not include the many Americans who have safely relocated to other countries or those who have departed the Middle East but are still in transit back to the United States,” Johnson said. “ At the direction of Secretary [Marco] Rubio, Department of State charter flight and ground transportation operations are underway and will continue to ramp up with additional flights and ground transports taking place today .” “Through the State Department’s 24/7 Task Force, we have assisted over 10,000 Americans abroad, including offering security guidance and travel assistance.

Anthropic PBC runs the risk of losing a wide range of US government business after the Defense Department declared it a supply-chain risk, a rare designation that until now has only been assigned to companies from adversary nations like China’s Huawei Technologies Co. Such a penalty has never been imposed on an American company, let alone one at the leading edge of new technology that the government has declared a priority, according to contracting and national security specialists. The Pentagon’s decision, they said, risks setting a dangerous precedent for companies seeking to innovate in areas like Anthropic in artificial intelligence. “Using this tool against a domestic AI firm sends a troubling signal that could chill innovation and weaken the very technology ecosystem the United States needs to stay competitive,” said Morgan Plummer, Vice President of Policy at Americans for Responsible Innovation. “These authorities were designed to keep foreign adversaries out of our supply chains, not to punish American companies for building safeguards into their technology.” The move threatens to unravel Anthropic’s $200 million contract to provide the Pentagon with classified AI tools, and could bar it from partnering with other companies on defense work. While that’s a fraction of the $20 billion in revenue the firm has projected for 2026, the supply-chain risk label threatens to cast a pall over the company, whose AI tools have quickly gained favor in the corporate world. The decision culminated weeks of tense negotiations over access to the company’s technology. Talks broke down last week after the firm demanded assurances that its AI wouldn’t be used for mass surveillance of Americans or autonomous weapons deployment, prompting President Donald Trump to order US agencies to cease work with Anthropic and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to threaten the rarely invoked supply-chain exclusion. To implement its finding, the Pentagon is relying on a measure known as section 3...

The husband of former Labour MP Gloria De Piero has confirmed his home was searched on Wednesday as part of a police investigation into an alleged Chinese spying ring. James Robinson, a former aide to the ex-Labour deputy leader Tom Watson, issued a statement confirming the raid on the home he shares with his wife, but said he had not been detained or questioned by police. He said: “I can confirm that police officers visited my home yesterday with a search warrant. I understand their attendance was part of enquiries into those arrested and questioned over matters allegedly relating to China.” Robinson, the founder and director of Woburn Partners and a former media correspondent for the Guardian, added: “I would like to make it absolutely clear that I have neither been detained, arrested nor questioned in connection with this, or any other, matter.” De Piero, the former MP for Ashfield, served in the shadow cabinet under Ed Miliband and Jeremy Corbyn. She left the Commons in 2019 and is now a senior adviser to her husband’s firm. There is no suggestion that De Piero was detained, arrested or questioned by police, and the search is understood to have related to her husband. Robinson, the fourth person with ties to Labour to be named in connection with the investigation, worked as director of communications for Watson in the late 2010s when Watson was the party’s deputy leader. Anti-terror police arrested three individuals who previously worked for the Labour party on Wednesday. David Taylor, 39, Matthew Aplin, 43, and Steve Jones, 68, were arrested on suspicion of assisting a foreign intelligence service, contrary to the National Security Act. All three were later released on bail. Taylor, husband of the Labour MP Joani Reid, was a former special adviser to the Labour peer Peter Hain when he was the secretary of state for Wales. He has since worked as a lobbyist with a company called Earthcott. Earthcott is listed as a supporter of a Labour business group, SME4Labour....
