🚨 CRYPTO HACKS ARE SURGING—BUT THERE'S A TWIST.

LATEST: Immunefi reports that the crypto industry lost $972 million across 207 hacks and exploits in the first half of 2026—the highest number of incidents on record.

Despite the spike in attacks, total losses were less than half of H1 2025, indicating that stronger security measures may be reducing the financial impact of exploits.

👀 Is crypto security finally improving, or are hackers simply changing their tactics?

#hksfcordersbrokerstoreplaceotplogins 🚨 Hong Kong Just Changed Crypto Security Forever! ! 🔐

👉 The people in charge of regulating things in Hong Kong told crypto exchanges and online brokers that they have to stop using OTP logins and start using passkeys in the year.

👀 They are doing this because a lot of people are getting tricked by phishing attacks. It is now 57% of all the things that happen with cybersecurity in the financial world.

👍⭐ This change will make peoples accounts safer because it will use things like Face ID and fingerprint login of codes sent to their phones.
👌It will also make it harder for hackers to get in. It will help keep peoples money safe. It will also make exchanges have security.

💥 Do you think this will be the way everyone does crypto security now?
💬 What do you, like passkeys or the old way of using OTPs to keep your crypto account safe?

Q-Day is no longer a sci-fi topic—it’s a migration blueprint on the CISO’s desk.

QIZ Security has just completed a $1.7 million seed round, co-led by Evolution Equity Partners and Singtel Innov8. Their entry point targets the most underestimated piece of the puzzle—Crypto Password Posture Management (CSPM for Crypto).

Their approach is pragmatic: no agent deployment required. Using APIs, it automatically maps all keys, certificates, encryption protocols, and weak-algorithm exposure across the enterprise, then consolidates the “encryption shadow assets” scattered across cloud, SaaS, and code repositories into a governable inventory. It also aligns with NIST to generate a quantum-ready migration roadmap.

Why this round is worth watching:
· The global PQC compliance window is shifting from “recommendation” to “mandate,” with finance, telecom, and government verticals facing pressure first
· Singtel Innov8’s involvement indicates that telecom-grade encryption migration scenarios have already been validated
· Compared with traditional PKI vendors, QIZ’s differentiator is visibility and governance—not certificate issuance itself. It’s a classic “shovel seller” position

The anti-quantum narrative is often treated as a meme on-chain, but for enterprises it’s a certain infrastructure rewrite for the next five years. Locking in top-tier security funding at the seed stage suggests institutions are getting in line early.

Quantum Break Countdown: First Get a Handle on Your Password Assets

QIZ Security just raised a $1.7 million seed round, led by Evolution Equity Partners with Singtel Innov8 also participating.

Founded in 2025, the company is tackling a question that very few people answer directly: exactly how many encryption credentials inside an enterprise will fail the moment “Q-Day” arrives?

Its approach is restrained—no agent theatrics. It uses APIs to automatically map end-to-end keys, protocols, and certificates, pulls out weak passwords and outdated algorithms one by one, and aligns them with NIST’s PQC migration roadmap to help institutions schedule ahead of time.

Personally, I care most about two points:

First, the entry point comes from the compliance side. The PQC timelines in the US and Singapore have already started to close in—the customer is being pushed to move.

Second, getting Singtel Innov8 indicates that the telecommunications + enterprise-government channel is working, and the seed round has effectively locked in the scenarios.

In the post-quantum narrative, fundraising has not been cold these past two years, but most teams get stuck on “selling algorithms.” QIZ chooses to operate at the governance layer instead—more like something that can show up in the form of ARR first.

In the short term, don’t expect a breakout. But this is a piece of infrastructure that will become harder and harder to обход after 2026.

#PQC #后量子密码 #CyberSecurity

QIZ Security raises a $1.7 million seed round; Evolution Equity Partners and Singtel Innov8 lead the investment. The company operates in a fast-moving frontier: cryptographic posture management plus post-quantum cryptography (PQC) governance.

In simple terms, it provides a “health check + migration navigation” for enterprise cryptographic assets. Without deploying any agents, it uses APIs to automatically map the entire chain—identifying keys, certificates, and encryption protocols—then pulls out weak algorithms, expired keys, and shadow encryption. It also helps organizations plan migration paths to quantum-resistant algorithms, while meeting PQC compliance requirements from places like NIST and the European Union.

Why pay attention? Q-Day—the day quantum computing breaks RSA/ECC—may be closer than you think. The U.S. has already legislated that federal systems complete PQC migration by 2035. Financial services, telecoms, and cloud providers are quietly lining up schedules. The team that builds the “cryptographic asset inventory” infrastructure will be the one to control the migration entry point.

The seed-round valuation isn’t high, but the direction sits right at the intersection of a compliance must-have and the quantum narrative. The next thing to watch is whether it can land the first batch of bank or telecom operator customers.

🚨 Artificial Intelligence is already helping strengthen Ethereum security.
The Ethereum Foundation confirmed that it is using AI agents to review the network’s code and that these systems have already found real vulnerabilities—one of them in a key infrastructure component, which was fixed before it could pose a greater risk.
However, the Foundation itself noted that AI does not replace experts: most alerts turn out to be false positives and require human review to confirm whether a vulnerability really exists.
This progress shows that AI can speed up security audits in blockchain, although developers’ judgment and validation remain essential.

A new player has joined the security race in the post-quantum era. QIZ Security has just completed a $17 million seed round, led by Bessemer Venture Partners and Merlin Ventures, with participation from Evolution Equity, Singtel Innov8, and others.

What I care about more is the team background—co-founders Itan Barmes previously led Deloitte’s global quantum network security readiness business, and Ben Volkow and Lenny Ridel are also seasoned enterprise security veterans. What they’re doing isn’t flashy, but it’s hardcore: helping enterprises inventory their cryptographic assets, assessing the risk of being broken by quantum computing, and driving migration and remediation. The platform is already deployed in finance, telecom, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. Partners include Cisco, AWS, Google, CrowdStrike, Deloitte, EY, and IBM.

The takeaway for the crypto industry is quite straightforward. The elliptic curve algorithms that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most on-chain signatures rely on are vulnerable in the presence of sufficiently powerful quantum computers. While “Q-day” hasn’t arrived yet, regulators are already pushing PQC migration timelines. Institutional wallets and custodians will inevitably face the same issue. When traditional finance and cloud providers start budgeting for post-quantum, crypto project teams should put this into their multi-year roadmap—not wait until the critical point and then scramble.

A $17 million seed round is an unusually aggressive valuation signal for a PQC management platform, suggesting VCs believe the window of opportunity is opening.

QIZ Security raises $17 million in seed funding, led by Bessemer and Merlin Ventures, with Evolution, Qbeat, Singtel Innov8, and Qino Cyber joining as investors.

The founding team is no small affair: Ben Volkow, Lenny Ridel, and Itan Barmes, who previously led global quantum network security preparedness at Deloitte.

Its platform is positioned very clearly: helping enterprises inventory crypto assets, assess risks, and drive post-quantum migration. It is used across finance, telecommunications, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. Key partners have been lined up extensively: Cisco, AWS, Google, CrowdStrike, Deloitte, EY, and IBM.

From an individual perspective: quantum threats may sound like a future story, but the attack pattern of “steal first, decrypt later” is already underway. The real window isn’t the day quantum computers are built—it’s now. Capital is starting to bet on PQC infrastructure, suggesting that big players’ timelines are tighter than what they publicly say.

It’s also worth thinking about how this maps to the crypto industry—on-chain signatures, cold wallets, and cross-chain bridges are all built on elliptic curves. The PQC migration question will have to be answered sooner or later.

QIZ Security raises $17 million in a seed round, led by Bessemer and Merlin Ventures, with participation from Evolution, Singtel Innov8, and others.

The company builds a “post-quantum cryptography (PQC) management platform” — helping enterprises inventory cryptographic assets, assess the risk of quantum decryption, and drive migration and remediation.

The founding team’s background is no small feat: Barmes previously led Deloitte’s global quantum network security readiness team. Its customers span finance, telecom, healthcare, and critical infrastructure, and partners include Cisco, AWS, Google, CrowdStrike, and IBM.

Traditional capital is starting to bet on PQC, and the signal is clear: quantum threats are no longer just topics for white papers, but something institutions are writing into procurement checklists.

The ripple effects for the crypto industry are worth watching. Bitcoin and Ethereum’s signature schemes are built on elliptic curves; once the PQC migration wave truly kicks off, the pressure to upgrade on-chain security models will first land on custodians, exchanges, and cross-chain bridges. Funding in this kind of infrastructure track can be a useful reference “anchor” for gauging the industry’s clock.

Do you think PQC migration will become an exchange’s mandatory compliance item within the next few years?

Quantum threats are shifting from “future risk” to “compliance countdown.”

QIZ Security has just secured a $17 million seed round, led by Bessemer and Merlin Ventures, with participation from Evolution, Singtel Innov8, and others. The team’s background is especially noteworthy: Co-founder Itan Barmes previously led Deloitte’s global quantum network security readiness business, focusing on the hardest-to-crack piece—“crypto-asset discovery + a PQC migration roadmap.”

What I care about more is how it lands in the real world: the four highly sensitive industries—finance, telecom, healthcare, and critical infrastructure—are already using it. Partners can directly engage with Cisco, AWS, Google, CrowdStrike, and IBM. This means enterprise-grade PQC migration is no longer just a whitepaper topic, but a line item in a procurement budget.

The knock-on impact for the crypto industry can’t be ignored: the underlying signature schemes of BTC and ETH (ECDSA/Schnorr) are, in theory, within the range of quantum attacks. Once traditional security vendors push the on-chain migration timeline to accelerate, PQC concepts (lattice cryptography, hash signatures) may be the first to get spotlighted in managed services, cross-chain bridges, and institutional wallet scenarios.

In the short term, it won’t cause a market crash, but this kind of “invisible infrastructure funding” often serves as a setup for the next round of narrative. Worth adding to an observation list.

A quantum threat countdown is being re-priced by capital.

QIZ Security, the post-quantum cryptography management platform, has just completed a $17 million seed round led by Bessemer and Merlin Ventures, with Evolution, Qbeat, Singtel Innov8, and Qino Cyber Capital participating. The founding team brings serious pedigree—Ben Volkow, Lenny Ridel, and Itan Barmes, who previously led Deloitte’s global quantum network security readiness business.

What is it trying to solve? In enterprises, crypto assets are scattered and inventories are unclear, and algorithm migration is hard to get started. QIZ’s platform is responsible for discovering, assessing risk, and driving remediation. Its customers span financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. Partners include Cisco, AWS, Google, CrowdStrike, Deloitte, EY, and IBM.

The lesson for the crypto industry is even more direct: Bitcoin’s ECDSA and Ethereum’s signature schemes are, in essence, all built on the same kind of “classical challenge.” When quantum computing power truly matures, migrating on-chain wallets and cross-chain bridges won’t be more comfortable than it is for traditional finance. The PQC track was previously seen as a “problem for ten years from now,” but institutional capital clearly believes the window has already narrowed.

Signals worth watching: first, the rollout timeline for NIST post-quantum standards; second, updates to mainstream public chains’ roadmaps for quantum-resistant signature schemes.
