This May be a Solution to the Cryptocurrency Market’s Massive Quantum Problem

Distributed on behalf of 01 Quantum Inc.

The multi-trillion-dollar cryptocurrency market may have a major quantum computing problem on its hands moving forward. In fact, according to Tech Radar, “Sooner or later, quantum computers will be able to break through today’s encryption, and when that happens, critical industries such as defense, critical infrastructure, telecommunications, and others, will be at risk of nation-state attackers with enough resources to use the advanced tech for nefarious purposes such as espionage or data theft, research has warned.”

Unfortunately, quantum could have the potential to break down the codes that keep cryptocurrencies safe. They could decrypt private keys, ultimately allowing others to control and access others’ cryptocurrency holdings, creating a nightmare for investors.

“Quantum computers are posing a serious challenge to the security of the Bitcoin blockchain. Presently, about 25% of the Bitcoins in circulation are vulnerable to a quantum attack,” according to Deloitte. “Even if everyone takes the same protection measures, quantum computers might eventually become so fast that they will undermine the Bitcoin transaction process. In this case the security of the Bitcoin blockchain will be fundamentally broken.”

So, protection is essential from companies, such as 01 Quantum Inc. (TSXV: ONE) (OTCQB: OONEF), Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA), and Zscaler (NASDAQ: ZS).

01 Quantum and qLABS, For Example, Just Provided Further Details of the qLABS Token – The Foundation of Quantum-Safe Web3 Infrastructure on Hyperliquid

01 Quantum (TSXV: ONE) (OTCQB: OONEF), one of the first-to-market, enterprise-level cybersecurity provider for the quantum computing era, and qLABS, a crypto foundation focused on quantum resilience, today announced the economic utility and value exchange in preparation for the launch of the qLABS Token, the first quantum-resistant governance and ecosystem token designed to secure the next generation of Web3 infrastructure on the Hyperliquid blockchain.

Built on 01 Quantum’s Quantum Crytpo Wrapper (QCW) technology as unveiled in the Company’s September 25, 2025 press release and incorporating 01 Quantum’s IronCAP™ post-quantum cryptographic engine, the qLABS Token is at the core of the initiative to make the Hyperliquid ecosystem fully resistant to the threat of quantum computing. This is the next step in moving from technical readiness into economic utility and value exchange as now the instrument of participation and utility, the qLABS Token is defined.

“The arrival of quantum computing represents a fundamental shift for cybersecurity,” said Andrew Cheung, Chief Executive Officer of 01 Quantum. “With qLABS, we are embedding NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography directly into Web3 infrastructure. The qLABS Token unites security, utility, and governance in a single architecture that future-proofs the blockchain economy. We are now moving from technical readiness into economic utility and value exchange.”

The qLABS Token is a fixed-supply governance and utility token deployed on the Hyperliquid network. Its economic model is designed to align long-term value creation with adoption of quantum-safe infrastructure:

· Capped Total Supply. The token supply is fixed, ensuring long-term scarcity and avoiding inflationary dilution.

· Revenue-Backed Buybacks. A portion of protocol revenue from wrapping, staking, and vault operations will be used to repurchase qLABS Tokens from the open market, reducing supply over time.

· Deflationary Burn Mechanisms. Token supply is further reduced through automatic burns triggered by early unstaking events or major quantum-security milestones—such as new NIST PQC standards or credible hardware breakthroughs toward fault-tolerant quantum computing.

· Governance Rights. Holders participate in key ecosystem decisions, including treasury allocation, fee models, and integration priorities, ensuring community-driven evolution of the protocol.

· Utility Integration. qLABS Tokens are required for core ecosystem functions such as creating quantum-resistant tokens via the qLABS Token Generator SDK, wrapping existing $HYPE assets, and offering new staking or vault strategies for quantum-resistant $HYPE holders.

“This design directly links token value to measurable ecosystem growth milestones,” said Ada Jonuse, Executive Director of qLABS. “As adoption scales and quantum-risk awareness increases, the deflationary model ensures long-term alignment between network security and holder value.”

The qLABS Token supports the rollout of a comprehensive quantum-resistant product suite built on IronCAP™ and Quantum Crypto Wrapper (QCW) technology, including:

· Quantum-Resistant Verification Protocol: on-chain validation using post-quantum signatures and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs).

· qLABS Wallet: a multi-key wallet for individuals and institutions offering dual classical/quantum-resistant key pairs.

· Quantum-Resistant $HYPE: a 1:1 wrapped version of Hyperliquid’s native token providing yield generation, DeFi composability and protection against quantum attacks.

· Developer SDK and Stablecoin Infrastructure: tools enabling builders to issue and manage fully quantum-safe tokens and stablecoins directly on Hyperliquid.

“We are building the missing security layer for the world’s most innovative DeFi ecosystem,” said Antanas Guoga (Tony G), President of qLABS. “qLABS ensures that Hyperliquid’s financial applications will stay secure and operable well beyond Q-Day.”

Other related developments from around the markets include:

Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, announced Prisma® SASE 4.0, the industry’s most advanced AI-driven secure access service edge (SASE) solution. It sets a new standard with innovations in Prisma Browser that neutralize sophisticated web threats in real-time directly within the browser, where legacy solutions have critical blind spots. It’s designed to intercept and neutralize encrypted, evasive attacks that assemble inside the browser and bypass traditional secure web gateways. The browser is becoming the new operating system for the enterprise, the primary interface for AI and cloud applications. Securing it is not optional. As more critical applications and data reside within the browser, traditional consumer-grade browsers are no longer sufficient for businesses as they lack the necessary security controls to protect against the increasing number of cyberattacks. With Prisma SASE 4.0, Prisma Browser’s new in-browser advanced web protection identifies and neutralizes malware in real-time before it can do harm.

According to the 2025 State of Ransomware Survey from CrowdStrike, 76% of global organizations struggle to match the speed and sophistication of AI-powered attacks. With 89% viewing AI-powered protection as essential to closing the gap, the findings make clear that the future of stopping breaches will be decided by who holds the AI advantage – adversaries or defenders. “From malware development to social engineering, adversaries are weaponizing AI to accelerate every stage of attacks, collapsing the defender’s window of response,” said Elia Zaitsev, CTO at CrowdStrike. “The 2025 State of Ransomware Survey reinforces that legacy defenses can’t match the speed or sophistication of AI-driven attacks. Time is the currency of modern cyber defense – and in today’s AI-driven threat landscape, every second counts.”

Okta, the leading independent identity partner, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended July 31, 2025. “Okta’s unified identity platform is winning customers ranging from the world’s largest global organizations to massive government agencies,” said Todd McKinnon, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Okta. “Our solid Q2 results are highlighted by continued strength in new product adoption, the public sector, Auth0, and cash flow. In the age of AI, Okta’s independence and neutrality will continue to give organizations the freedom to innovate securely and on their own terms.”

Zscaler, the leader in cloud security, announced financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended July 31, 2025. “We had an outstanding Q4, in which we achieved a new milestone of more than $3 billion of Annual Recurring Revenue while achieving our highest ever operating margin for a quarter. We believe Zscaler’s Zero Trust and AI security solutions are imperative in today’s world and are driving robust demand,” said Jay Chaudhry, Chairman and CEO of Zscaler. “We recently delivered AI Guardrails for Public and Private apps, and we are rapidly expanding our AI security portfolio to address the emerging risks of AI models and applications.”

St. Augustine Film Festival will honor creator of film about crypto scams

St. Augustine Film Festival will honor creator of film about crypto scams

Ben McKenzie will receive a Career Achievement Award at the St. Augustine Film Festival Jan. 10 prior to the screening of his documentary, “Everyone is Lying to You for Money.”

The former star of “The OC” wrote, directed and produced the film while writing his New York Times bestseller “Easy Money,” which spotlights cryptocurrency as a large-scale scam.

Working in collaboration with journalist Jacob Silverman, the film includes interviews with currently jailed cryptocurrency industry leaders and celebrities now facing trials for misleading the public on the value of cryptocurrencies as virtual money.

Sporting degrees in economics and political science from the University of Virginia, McKensie traveled to El Salvador – also known as Bitcoin city – and London’s banking district to showcase fraud perpetrated by Alex Mashinsky, the founder and CEO of Celsius Network, who was sentenced to 12 years in prison for one count of commodities fraud and one count of securities fraud.

New York prosecutors accused Mashinsky with deceiving clients about the company’s finances and manipulating the price of Celsius’ token, which caused billions of dollars in losses.

The movie also includes interviews with individuals who were part of the scam before it collapsed, McKensie’s testimony before Congress following the arrest of Sam Bankman-Fried and his trip to El Salvador.

“I turned the cameras on to document the difference between the marketing campaign and the reality of what was happening on the ground,” he told the St. Augustine Record. “Cryptocurrency was perpetuated by a very small number of people who made a lot of money in an industry rife with fraud, corruption and criminal activity.”

McKensie underscored the film as an unusual comedy that he’s deeply proud of.

“The film highlights the idea of avoiding intermediaries as appealing, but creating a currency that bypasses a banking system would never work,” he said. “The idea of investing in this obtuse thing that was hard to understand evolved/metastasized to exhibit the worst parts of our current system.”

McKensie described the “command tactic” of the get rich scheme as a con man tactic that lured people in as Bitcoin emerged during the wake of a financial crisis.

Bankman-Fried, the founder of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange, was eventually convicted of wire, securities and commodities fraud along with money laundering and conspiracy and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

McKensie’s involvement was born and bred from COVID, “when I had time on my hands to check the financial markets.”

“I’m not an economist, but I love theory and behavioral economics,” he said. “I especially love the writings of the Nobel Prize winning economist Robert Schiller, who talks about things that were applicable to crypto that naturally occur in Ponzi schemes.”

Convinced that no one was monitoring the “price of a speculative asset rising far beyond what it was worth in terms of practical use in the real world,” McKensie turned to social media as a platform to show that “crypto was getting out of hand.”

Posts connected him to Silverman and together they worked on reporting on the ill-fated concept. It didn’t take long before a book proposal landed on his desk.

“Then it was off to the races,” he said.

“I’ve met a lot of really interesting people I never would have met if not for the book,” he said. “I’ve never done anything like this before so I’m really glad I did.”

McKensie said that Greg von Hausch, co-founder of the SAFF, was persistent in adding “Everyone is Lying to You for Money” to the festival.

While the success of the book and the film remain paramount to an actor who hedged his bets in New York because of his love of “the art,” the Texas native has a long and successful acting resume that includes stints on Broadway for “Grand Horizons,” which received a Tony nod for Best New Play, an appearance in “Junebug” with Amy Adams and one in “88 Minutes” starring Al Pacino. Other film credits include the indie film “Johnny Got His Gun” and “Some Kind of Beautiful” with Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek.

Other film credits include “Decoding Annie Parker” opposite Helen Hunt and a starring role in the short film “The Eight Per Cent of the 2009” shown in New York’s Tribeca Film Festival.

In 2009, he returned to series television in “Southland,” portraying a patrol officer in Los Angeles. McKensie also starred as Detective James Gordon in the series “Gotham,” detailing Gordon’s rise in Gotham City before Batman’s appearance.

McKensie made his directorial debut in Season 3 of “Gotham” where he met his then co-star and now wife, Morena Baccarin, who is the mother to his two children. The family resides in New York.

Glasgow police warn public of cryptocurrency scam – WNKY News 40 Television

GLASGOW, Ky. – The Glasgow Police Department says a scam is targeting individuals, according to a release.

Major Terry Flatt says the department has received complaints about scams and fraud resulting in thousands of dollars in losses.

Flatt says that individuals are being contacted by someone claiming to be an investment manager who promises to grow their money by purchasing cryptocurrency.

The caller will advise the phone call recipient to visit a website that appears authentic but is actually fraudulent.

Flatt says that when scam victims attempt to withdraw earnings, they are told that they need to pay high fees.

The GPD media release states that scammers advertise individual retirement accounts as IRS-approved.

The fraud begins with a pop-up message from internationally recognized companies. The pop-ups state that the individual has a virus on their personal device.

The scammers encourage victims to contact them for remote support, allowing the scammers to access all of the victims’ information and to install malware.

Flatt says some of the scams require victims to place money on gift cards. The scammers will then ask for the gift card code.
