Revolut Hackers Demanding $3 Million in Monero Ransom — The host discusses a ransomware attack by a group called "iamnotavillain" who demanded a $3 million payment in Monero (a privacy-focused cryptocurrency).

Sam Bankman-Fried's $500 Million Investment Still Hawks on Top — An update on SBF's investments and financial standing, examining how his portfolio and assets continue to hold value despite ongoing legal proceedings. Book Review: "In His Own Words" by C.J. Miller (Hitler's Speeches) — The host discusses a book he's been reading about Hitler's speeches, describing himself as "somewhat of a Hitler historian recently."

    GrapheneOS shadow banned on ZOG Hacker News, Why Johnny Should Not Delegate Email Encryption to Gateways, Google keeping same domain site data from being removed from Chrome, Jigsaw: more on Android 17 rolling out ECH support

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. Host Cryptowires opens Episode 25 with the story of GrapheneOS being shadowbanned on Hacker News. The privacy-focused Android ROM's team publicly revealed that nearly all their recent posts were flagged and hidden by default, while years of harassment and libel against their developers went unmoderated. The host questions whether Hacker News — funded by Y Combinator and populated largely by engineers from surveillance-heavy companies like Palantir, Meta, and Google — can ever be a neutral forum. He recommends Lobsters as a less manipulated alternative and urges users to enable "show dead" in settings to surface suppressed content. The episode shifts to cryptography with a new ETH Zurich paper, "Why Johnny Should Not Delegate Email Encryption to Gateways," which analyzed four S/MIME and PGP gateway products and uncovered 29 attacks enabling full message decryption and email spoofing. The key takeaway: delegating crypto operations to centralized gateways undermines end-to-end security, re-enabling previously resolved attack vectors like EFAIL. Next, the host covers Google Chrome once again quietly exempting google.com from its "delete site data" privacy setting — a bug first reported and fixed years ago, now reintroduced. Cookies and storage on google.com persist across sessions even with the setting enabled, reinforcing Google's pattern of ignoring privacy issues that conflict with their data collection model. The discussion turns to Google Project Zero's measured response to Anthropic's research claiming to have weakened the Hawk PQC candidate and reduced-round AES. Google's bug hunters argue the findings were overhyped — the Hawk attack used existing tools, and the AES attack requires resources so vast it would take 10 billion years. They frame AI-assisted cryptanalysis as a welcome contribution to PQC standardization, not an existential threat. Finally, the episode covers Jigsaw's announcement that Android 17 will enable Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) by default — encrypting domain names in TLS handshakes and closing one of the last major metadata leaks on the internet. Global testing across 212 countries and 740 ISPs showed near-zero failures, including in censored networks like Russia and China. The host urges developers to adopt OKHTTP 5.x and push for industry-wide ECH support. The episode also touches on VPN viability, off-grid communication research proposals, and teases next episode's coverage of a critical kernel vulnerability — the "OEM Apocalypse" — affecting Xiaomi, Oppo, and Samsung devices.

    Anthropic researcher quits over AI's out-of-control fears, a glance of Spyfail

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. The hosts open with a look at the 25th anniversary of 9/11, encouraging listeners to question the official narrative and watch Europa: The Last Battle instead of consuming mainstream retrospectives. The episode then dives into James Bamford's book Spyfail, focusing on Israeli spy Arnon Milchan — who allegedly smuggled nuclear technology from the US while posing as a Hollywood producer, yet was never charged or prosecuted. They discuss the OPM hack attributed to China, the Cypher Brief's criticism of Bamford's "anti-Israel bias," and Netanyahu's personal intervention to restore Milchan's US visa. The conversation touches on media distrust, immigration concerns, and the Charlie Kirk assassination. Finally, they cover the story of Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon quitting over fears that AI companies are racing to build self-improving systems they can't control — with other researchers echoing the concern that AI could pose existential risks. Episode wraps with mention of upcoming coverage potentially dedicated to 9/11. This episode contains strong language and adult themes, listener discretion advised.

    Florida's Caruso will be the first to face the death penalty for a law he favored? 4K BTC stolen from (L-BTC) Liquid Network, calls for Zuckerberg to resign from Meta

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. Episode 20 of Private On Chain opens with the arrest of Michael Caruso, a 67-year-old Republican former Florida State representative and appointee of Governor Ron DeSantis, who was charged with five felonies related to the sexual abuse of his 12-year-old grandson. The episode then moves into discussions about Mark Zuckerberg being pressured by lawmakers to step down from Meta, and the ongoing criticism of Apple and Tim Cook over censorship of apps in China, particularly in light of Cook's recent departure from his position. The hosts also mention an older 2023 article by Anil Dash on the radicalization of tech tycoons, though they debate whether to dive into it given its age. The episode wraps up with a teaser for Episode 21, which may feature a deep dive into the 25th anniversary of September 11th and the surprising lack of critical facts and details that have emerged over the past two and a half decades. This episode contains strong language and adult themes, listener discretion advised.
