A Miami man faces multiple felony charges after police say he stole nearly $2 million worth of Bitcoin from a former employer — a theft that went undetected for years while the cryptocurrency sat locked in a safe. Nahum Reynaldo Castro, 40, was arrested Tuesday on charges of grand theft, money laundering, unlawful use of a communications device, and offenses against computer users, according to an arrest report obtained by NBC 6. The case stretches back to December 2017, when the victim began purchasing Bitcoin as a long-term investment. He bought a hardware wallet to store the digital currency, and…

A website called UK Visa Portal publicly exposed thousands of passports and selfie photos of applicants who paid the site to obtain a U.K. immigration visa, TechCrunch has learned. An anonymous person notified TechCrunch about the security lapse, saying that the website was exposing at least 100,000 documents from people who uploaded their passports and selfies to the website as part of the application process. The website is not affiliated with the U.K. government, and some have complained that they mistakenly paid a fee to this company instead of using the official GOV.UK website. The exposed data was secured overnight…

CrowdStrike, working with Google and Shadowserver, a nonprofit organization that scans and monitors the internet for cyberattacks, took down a botnet that cybercriminals used to push malware and steal passwords from open-source software developers. The takedown operation had the goal of disrupting the activities of the cybercriminals behind the so-called Glassworm botnet, who have been targeting the broader open source software supply chain for two years, according to CrowdStrike.  In recent months, several hacking groups have targeted developers and open source projects to push malicious software to companies and organizations who in turn use that software. These attacks can be…

University of Houston researchers have achieved a major superconductivity breakthrough by setting a new temperature record for superconductors operating under ambient pressure conditions. The advance could eventually help create more efficient electrical grids, improved energy storage systems, faster electronics, and new technologies for fusion energy and medical imaging. Scientists from the Texas Center for Superconductivity (TcSUH) and the University of Houston department of physics reached a superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of 151 Kelvin (about minus 122 degrees Celsius). That is now the highest Tc ever reported for a superconductor functioning at ambient pressure since superconductivity was first discovered in 1911.…

Cognition, the makers of the autonomous AI software engineer named Devin, has raised more than $1 billion at a $25 billion pre-money valuation, the company announced on Wednesday. That’s a major leap from its $10.2 billion post-money valuation when it closed a $400 million funding round just eight months ago in September. The round was led by Lux Capital and General Catalyst, with existing investors pouring in, including Founders Fund, 8VC, and others. The round also included new investors Ribbit Capital, Atreides, and Layer Global.  This is a giant vote of confidence from top-tier VCs that there will be room for…

The delay was caused by turf damage earlier this spring due to leatherjacket and nematode infestations, which left the track unsafe. Leatherjackets, the larvae of crane flies, feed on grass roots and destabilise turf, while nematodes are microscopic soil-dwelling worms that damage root systems. Brighton Racecourse’s grounds team, alongside independent agronomy specialists and the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), carried out extensive remedial work. A successful track inspection and trial gallop took place on May 20, with the surface deemed race-ready by the BHA Racecourse Inspectorate. Paul Ellison, executive director of Brighton Racecourse, said: “We are delighted that the work undertaken…
