**Blockstream refuses Liquid exploit ransom**
Blockstream publicly refused a ransom demand from the Liquid Network attacker over the remaining 598.5 BTC holdout, saying simply "return the bitcoin," rather than pay a fee for the funds' return as some hackers have historically done in similar incidents.

Liquid Network resumed block production on September 10, four days after the breach, though user transactions and the BTC peg remain suspended during recovery work; Blockstream co-founder Adam Back said the L-BTC peg will be made whole. The attacker's 598.5 BTC holdout is unchanged. Separately, Trezor disclosed that hackers breached a third-party email provider and sent phishing messages disguised as a "Critical Security Alert: STM32 Entropy Vulnerability" to its customer list; BitBox confirmed identical emails hit its own users, pointing to a newsletter vendor shared across hardware-wallet makers. No confirmed losses reported from the phishing wave, and no update on the Coldcard Wave 3 laundering total beyond yesterday's roughly 97 BTC figure.
