Ethereum Foundation (Oct 2): Official guidance signals a shift toward privacy by default, rather than requiring users to opt in 2. Bitquery (Oct 10): Traced funds linked to the Ledger hack through Zcash’s shielded pool using transaction patterns. The cryptography wasn’t broken, but practical privacy limitations were exposed 3.
