The Brussels government launched an age verification app that hackers reportedly broke within two minutes. The app was designed to check users' ages for accessing certain services. Security vulnerabilities were quickly exposed by cybersecurity researchers.

Researchers have demonstrated that a quantum computer could theoretically steal Bitcoin by breaking its cryptographic security in approximately nine minutes. This highlights the potential threat quantum computing poses to cryptocurrency security systems. The research underscores the need for quantum-resistant cryptography in blockchain technology.
