Bitcoin Who? Wall Street Has a New Crypto Obsession

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-03-06 21:28:22

For over a decade, Bitcoin has been the undisputed face of digital finance. When you think “crypto,” you think Bitcoin. Its surges and crashes have been treated as bellwethers for the entire industry. This year, it even set new records, solidifying its reign. But for the past month, the crypto world hasn’t been talking about Bitcoin. The spotlight has been stolen by a company that most people have never heard of. While Bitcoin’s price reached an all-time high this spring, its dominance is bein

What We Know So Far About the Supposed ‘Mother of All Data Breaches’

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2026-03-06 21:55:42

Data breaches are so common these days that, when a new one gets announced, most web users can do little more than yawn and mutter something like “Yeah, no shit” before scrolling up to the next story in their newsfeed. This week, however, a breach was announced that was allegedly so earth-shatteringly huge that it managed to break through the internet’s wall of collective cynicism. Dubbed the “Mother of All Data Breaches,” the breach is said to involve some 16 billion user credentials, and impa

Something Big Is Twisting Mercury’s Crust

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2026-03-08 03:00:50

Mercury has it rough. Not only is it the smallest planet in the solar system, it’s also the closest to our Sun. This unfortunate position has caused Mercury to develop cracks and fractures across its surface, and generate stresses to its crust, a new study has found. Mercury is dry, rugged, and heavily cratered; the planet appears deformed with towering cliffs and ridges, as well as fracture lines that run along its surface. The origin of Mercury’s scars has long been a mystery: How did the pla
