Cross-chain protocol Allbridge has suspended operations after a flash loan attack drained one point six five million dollars from its liquidity pools. The attacker borrowed over one million dollars through Kamino, used those funds to skew pool ratios, then withdrew assets at artificially favorable rates before bridging the money out. It's a familiar playbook, and decentralized finance keeps getting hit by it.
Shifting to a story with serious national security implications, a new analysis from Wired found that more than one in eight mobile applications built specifically for United States military personnel contain code originating from companies in China or Russia — nations the Pentagon formally designates as adversaries. Researchers call it the first study of its kind, and the findings raise hard questions about how thoroughly the defense supply chain is actually being vetted.
And in the cloud sovereignty story worth watching, Airbus is moving roughly nine hundred applications off Amazon Web Services and onto Scaleway, a French provider, with seventy apps getting priority in the first wave. The European aerospace giant is explicitly framing this as a matter of keeping critical systems and data under European control, a signal that the transatlantic cloud relationship may be quietly but meaningfully shifting.
That's the landscape for now. Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
