Hacking & security — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 12 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 55% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

31 posts held, back to 26 July 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 8 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 31 posts for this entry, the most recent from 11 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
777 reactions across 31 posts, in 10 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 22.4% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 31 of the 31 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 777 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 31 most recent posts we hold, published 26 July 2026 to 11 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
⚠️ NEW IN: Coreum Bridge Exploited for $200K+ Approximately 200,000 XRP was reportedly drained from the Coreum–XRPL Bridge. The attacker allegedly exploited a flaw in the bridge's validation logic, triggering legitimate XRP payouts from its multisig. The funds were subsequently routed through THORChain, converted to ETH, and reportedly sent through Tornado Cash. Attacker: 0xad363E11007f98b93790ba3ABAe332402b31643…

⚠️ NEW IN: 20-year-old “The Com” member Justin Swaddle has been sentenced to 2 years in prison in the UK.

Investigators say he groomed and blackmailed victims into sexual activity and self-harm, threatening to leak intimate material or expose them to their families and schools. He was 17 when the offen…

⚠️ NEW IN: Tiffany Milanovich is reportedly tied to more than $5M in crypto thefts through fake hardware-wallet and exchange support scams. She allegedly recorded calls with victims — even taunting them after their funds were drained. Online, she has also reportedly flaunted luxury purchases, stolen funds and casino gambling. The allegations are raising serious questions about how far crypto support impersonation …

⚠️ NEW IN: $7.9M+ GONE FROM COINSBUY An attacker reportedly drained Coinsbuy wallets across Ethereum and TRON. The stolen funds were then routed through exchanges in an apparent attempt to convert them into Monero and make tracing more difficult. Six figures were reportedly frozen.

⚠️ NEW IN: A fake Wasabi Wallet app reportedly made it onto Apple’s App Store. One victim claims they lost 6+ BTC after downloading the fake wallet while moving funds from a Coldcard. This could mark the 27th fake crypto-wallet clone discovered on the App Store this year. The biggest reported case remains a fake Ledger app linked to roughly $9.5M in stolen crypto. Apple’s App Store is clearly not immune to crypto…

⚠️ NEW IN: ZachXBT says he will NOT investigate the $100M+ Coldcard Bitcoin hack. The on-chain investigator says he no longer feels obligated to take on complex, unpaid investigations, citing a lack of support from the Bitcoin community. The decision means the massive Coldcard theft will not be actively tracked by one of crypto’s most prominent blockchain investigators. ❄️ @Release 💬 @Conversate

⚠️ NEW IN: $1.5B CRYPTO HEIST JUST WENT TO COURT. Bybit is suing North Korea and Lazarus Group over the largest crypto theft in history.

Showing the 12 most recent of 31 posts we hold for @release. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Named by 10 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 18 September 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
