AI is making crypto attacks faster and cheaper, Ledger CTO warns.
Hackers are using AI to find and exploit vulnerabilities in seconds instead of months. That’s a big problem for crypto, where code controls billions in assets.
Just this week, Drift lost $285M in a Solana exploit, and Resolv was hit for $25M. Over $1.4B in crypto was stolen last year alone, per DefiLlama.
The old security balance — where hacking costs more than rewards — is breaking. AI-generated code is spreading bugs faster, and traditional audits can’t keep up.
Ledger’s CTO says teams must shift to formal verification and hardware-based security like cold wallets. For users, the message is simple: don’t trust connected systems.
Expect more hacks, more malware, and a growing gap between secure protocols and vulnerable software. Security isn’t optional anymore — it’s survival.
