Hacker steals record $1.46 billion from Bybit ETH cold wallet

Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit revealed today that an unknown attacker stole over $1.46 billion worth of cryptocurrency from one of its ETH cold wallets. "The incident occurred when our ETH multisig cold wallet executed a transfer to our warm wallet. Unfortunately, this transaction was manipulated through a sophisticated attack that masked the signing interface, displaying the correct address while altering the underlying smart contract logic," Bybit explained. "As a result, the attacker was ab

Oppo's new foldable phone is one of the thinnest I've seen - and I hope OnePlus and Samsung follow suit

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET The world's thinnest book-style foldable, the Oppo Find N5, is finally here. I've had it for a week, and it has surprised me in more ways than one -- both positively and negatively. At 8.93mm thick when folded, it's closer to slab phones than any other foldable has ever been. But that slimness didn't come without compromises. Judging by the on-paper camera specifications, I expected it to be underwhelming, but it's better than other foldable phones in almost every regard.

I tested Huawei's $3,600 tri-foldable, and it made me question why tablets still exist

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET Huawei unveiled the world's first tri-fold phone, the Mate XT Ultimate, in its home country late last year. We weren't holding out hope for a global release, but it's finally coming outside China after receiving a record number of preorders -- even before the pricing was announced. Also: I tested Oppo's Find N5 for a week - here's why it's a near-perfect foldable phone The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate pushes the boundaries of what you can expect from a phone by fitting a 10.2-

If COBOL is so problematic, why does the US government still use it?

Matthew Busch for The Washington Post via Getty Images Some people think tens of millions of dead people are collecting Social Security checks. That's not true. What's really going on is people don't understand its old, underlying technology. The saga of 150-year-old Social Security recipients is a tale that intertwines aging technology, government systems, and modern misunderstandings by the youthful Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) IT people. At the heart of this story lies COBOL,

OPPO’s Find N5 is ready to challenge your foldable expectations

TL;DR OPPO introduces the Find N5, the thinnest book-style foldable around measuring just 8.5mm thick closed. Fully expanded, the phone offers an expansive 8.12-inch internal screen, with OPPO’s least prominent crease to date. While the Find N5 is being made available internationally, those plans don’t include US sales. Foldable smartphones penetrated the mainstream years ago, but there’s still plenty of room for manufacturers to innovate. The allure of having a tablet-sized screen ready to u

The Oppo Find N5 is an impressive, very thin foldable with a giant battery

Oppo is back with a new foldable, and the Find N5 is a technically impressive balance of thinness and power. Skipping over the whole unlucky number four thing (this is technically the fourth iteration of the Find foldable), the company claims its latest book-style foldable is the world’s thinnest at 8.92mm. That's not a lot thicker than a typical flagship phone. Despite that, the Find N5 has a 6.62-inch outer display and an 8.12-inch inner screen which, Oppo says, features multiple durability im

I tested Oppo's super-thin foldable for a week, and it made my iPhone 16 Pro feel ordinary

Oppo Find N5 review: the final evolution of foldables

Oppo’s Find N5 feels like the end game for foldable phones. Not because it’s make or break for a segment of the phone market that never quite took off like manufacturers hoped it would, but because I simply don’t know where we go from here. There’s scarcely room to make the phone thinner without ditching USB-C entirely; battery life, performance, and even cameras are now on par with other flagship phones; and this time, Oppo even managed to fit wireless charging and water resistance in, too.
