US 5G glasses rollout, Ukraine cyber ops, and major bitcoin thefts

You're catching up on the latest tech events. First, a quiet shift in the US: people going into operator salons are now walking out with 5G glasses instead of new phones. It’s early days, but it signals a new way telecoms might get advanced connectivity gear into users’ hands. Over in Ukraine, cyberpolice have been busy. They ran a major operation called WallHack through July and August, taking down a fraud network that was stealing from people across Ukraine and the EU. Twenty-three people have been charged in connection with that. Separately, Russian forces had their Orion drone control station disabled in Crimea, along with related sites in Donetsk and Luhansk — part of ongoing electronic warfare. Back in the US, there are two big bitcoin theft cases making headlines. One is a record: a gang stole over $245 million in bitcoin from a single victim, with a Singaporean national pleading in a Washington DC court. The other is smaller but still significant — a hacker took $770,000 from a DeFi platform by exploiting a basic coding flaw in a smart contract. That’s the picture: new devices, cyber crackdowns, and major crypto heists.
