“Four Doors, One Key”
Four separate crews were caught using the same exploit kit against Chrome and Windows — and the reason is that holes are now being found faster than they are being closed, since machines started doing the finding. Plus: Kalshi’s election markets went live on a market-data delivery platform ahead of the November midterms, so you can now subscribe to a feed of what people are betting the country will do; bitcoin sits at $78,136, down 0.80%; Tether and Fasanara are launching a $400 million fund for stablecoin-enabled private credit, seeking up to $3 billion; and the President gave a war an end date, pinned to an election. The anchors decline to make that last one funny, and say why.
