Blockchain technology—originally designed as the decentralized ledger behind Bitcoin—has evolved into a core infrastructure layer for payments, cloud computing, AI, supply chains, and digital assets.

Ledger, the cold wallet brand, has once again experienced a data breach scandal, but the cause was due to an incident involving third-party payment service provider Global-e. The official response stated that only names and contact information were leaked, with no payment information or private keys involved, ensuring the security of the wallet itself. This incident highlights the vulnerability of the cryptocurrency industry’s reliance on third-party services and also raises the risk of related phishing attacks. Third-party payment partner affected by hacking incident at Ledger, security concerns emerge On-chain detective ZachXBT posted last night that Ledger experienced another data leak due to its payment processing partner Global-e being hacked. Global-e informed users via email that its cloud system was compromised, resulting in the exposure of some Ledger users’ personal information. The affected time, scope, and number of victims were not disclosed, but the breach has been confirmed.

IBM Security Technology Director Jeff Crume, in his latest video analysis, reviews his previous judgments on AI, cybersecurity risks, and emerging technologies, and summarizes the most noteworthy cybersecurity changes after 2026. He states that as enterprises rapidly adopt AI to improve efficiency, cybersecurity risks are also being amplified. From shadow AI, deepfake attacks, proxy AI, to encryption threats brought by quantum computing, the future of cybersecurity will enter a new phase with faster attack-defense cycles and broader impact. AI Enhances Convenience While Simultaneously Amplifying Security Risks Crume points out that while AI brings efficiency to enterprises, it is also rapidly expanding cybersecurity risks. The most representative issue is "Shadow AI." Shadow AI refers to AI systems that are unapproved by the organization and lack governance and security controls. They may simply be someone downloading models in the cloud and connecting to internal data, which

The M&A boom in the venture capital market in 2025 has once again heated up, and it is expected that the competition for acquisitions of startups will become even more intense in 2026. Especially in the fields of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, actions to quickly acquire talent and technology have been fully launched, with "technological competitiveness" and "technology acquisitions" becoming the core values of mergers and acquisitions. According to Crunchbase data, there were approximately 2,300 venture capital-based M&A transactions worldwide in 2025, with publicly disclosed transaction amounts reaching approximately $214 billion. This figure represents a 91% increase compared to 2024. The US market accounted for 73% of these, serving as the M&A hub, with a total of 1,300 transactions amounting to $157 billion. A representative case leading this trend is Google's $32 billion acquisition of cloud security startup Wiz, which is the largest M&A deal in the history of venture capital-based acquisitions of US startups.

At 24 years old, entrepreneur Lin Yuanlin from Taoyuan, Taiwan, graduated from the Computer Science Department of Zhejiang University in 2023 and previously interned as a front-end engineer at Ant Group. During his university years, he took on numerous outsourced development projects but found that the real time-consuming aspect was not coding, but deployment and delivery. This led him to transform what was originally regarded as a graduation project that would be shelved after completion into an AI startup that spans across Taiwan and the United States, gaining favor with Silicon Valley venture capitalists. Recently, he shared his insights on his journey in the YouTube channel Kelly Tsai. The cloud deployment platform Zeabur (formerly known as Zeebird), founded by him, has recently completed a $2 million seed round financing led by the well-known American venture capital firm 500 Global. Currently, the registered users have exceeded 100,000, with about 5,000 paying users. The product has been featured in the world's largest product.
