How YOLO Revolutionized Real-Time Object Detection

Welcome to another day of writing about why machines are officially outpacing humans in spotting objects, sorting data, and apparently deciding the fate of onions in cold storage. Today’s main character is YOLO — You Only Look Once. If you’re new here, that’s not advice from a motivational poster, but the name of an algorithm that looked at traditional object detection methods and said, “Wow, cute, but why are you wasting so much time?”

YOLO is the unapologetic speed demon of computer vision. Whether you’re looking for pedestrians, sports balls, or onions slowly rotting away in a warehouse corner, YOLO doesn’t politely wait its turn. It barges in, processes everything at once, and spits out results faster than you can blink. And unlike the older models that treated object detection like a never-ending group project — dividing tasks, stalling, and burning your GPU in the process — YOLO decided to handle everything in a single, elegant pass.

Life Before YOLO: The Dark Ages of Object Detection

Let’s rewind to 2014. Back then, training an R-CNN to detect objects was like waiting for a government document to get approved: unnecessarily long, confusing, and not worth the stress. You’d feed it an image, and by the time it identified a cat, that cat had gone on to have kittens…

Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum

The post Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A crypto whale lost more than $6 million in staked Ethereum (stETH) and Aave-wrapped Bitcoin (aEthWBTC) after approving malicious signatures in a phishing scheme on Sept. 18, according to blockchain security firm Scam Sniffer. According to the firm, the attackers disguised their move as a routine wallet confirmation through “Permit” signatures, which tricked the victim into authorizing fund transfers without triggering obvious red flags. Yu Xian, founder of blockchain security company SlowMist, noted that the victim did not recognize the danger because the transaction required no gas fees. He wrote: “From the victim’s perspective, he just clicked a few times to confirm the wallet’s pop-up signature requests, didn’t spend a single penny of gas, and $6.28 million was gone.” How Permit exploits work Permit approvals were originally designed to simplify token transfers. Instead of submitting an on-chain approval and paying fees, a user can sign an off-chain message authorizing a spender. That efficiency, however, has created a new attack surface for malicious players. Once a user signs such a permit, attackers can combine two functions—Permit and TransferFrom—to drain assets directly. Because the authorization takes place off-chain, wallet dashboards show no unusual activity until the funds move. As a result, the assets are gone when the approval executes on-chain, and tokens are redirected to the attacker’s wallet. This loophole has made permit exploits increasingly attractive for malicious actors, who can siphon millions without needing complex hacks or high-cost gas wars. Phishing losses The latest theft highlights a wider trend of escalating phishing campaigns. Scam Sniffer reported that in August alone, attackers stole $12.17 million from more than 15,200 victims. That figure represented a 72% jump in losses compared with July. According to the firm, the most significant share of August’s damages came from three large accounts that accounted for nearly half…
