More →Discord is making public chats searchable on Google: How to opt out
Discord conversations on large public servers will soon reach audiences far beyond their communities, raising privacy concerns. Discord is making a policy change that will make conversations from its largest public servers discoverable in search engines, including Google, raising privacy concerns among users whose conversations were previously confined to the platform. The change applies to Discoverable Servers — communities with at least 1,000 members listed in Discord’s public directory that do not require an invitation to join. From Nov. 16, every Discoverable Server will have a web page that may include summaries of public channel discussions. From mid-December, individual messages posted in eligible channels may appear in web search, Discord<a href="https://discord.com/blog/making-content-from-discoverable-servers-easier-to-discover" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">> <span>said</span></a> Tuesday. Messages posted before the rollout will not be included, while usernames and avatars will be excluded from published messages. Example of an individual message being shown online.

We want to fix this,” the company said.

The change could also affect cryptocurrency communities that use Discord for technical discussions, support and project announcements.

Shiba Inu's 24-hour burn rate surged 428,862%, the highest this month.
CoinWorld data: According to U.Today, Shiba Inu's burn rate surged 428,862% in the past 24 hours, hitting the highest level this month. Although Shiba Inu's burn activity had been relatively stable over the previous few days, the recent significant increase has drawn the attention of market analysts. According to the latest data from Shiba Inu burn tracker Shibburn, more than 1 million SHIB were destroyed in the past day. Compared with its average daily burn volume, the 1.4 million SHIB burned in the past day appears relatively low. However, activity slowed significantly in the preceding days, which led to such a huge surge. The surge in Shiba Inu's burn rate coincides with the broader crypto market beginning to recover from last week's extreme volatility, and Shiba Inu has also rebounded from recent lows, rising about 3% in the past day and currently trading near the key $0.000005 level.

According to nada news, the cloud desktop service of Japanese internet giant GMO Group suffered unauthorized access, affecting as many as 26,739 potential servers.

Google launches multi-party computation security service for financial institutions
CoinWorld news, according to CoinDesk, Google will launch a multi-party computation security service for financial institutions, Google Multi-Party Compute (MPC), used to protect and transfer cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets.

Google's parent company Alphabet has begun using the technology to protect its digital assets on the Ethereum and Solana networks, but did not disclose the specific asset types. The service reduces the risk of single-point key leakage by distributing control of private keys across multiple independent environments, combined with transaction approval policies, threshold signatures, and key recovery features. Google stated that customers retain control over key material, and Google cannot access the relevant keys in unencrypted form.
