$BTC $ETH $BNB #纳指跌4.18%创逾一年最大单日跌幅 According to CoinDesk, security engineer Taylor Hornby, who discovered a serious vulnerability in Zcash using the Anthropic Opus 4.8 AI model, has added Monero (XMR) to the audit queue and plans to conduct security reviews on more privacy coin projects in the future.
Hornby previously uncovered a critical flaw in the Zcash Orchard privacy pool on May 29, which had remained undetected since May 2022, potentially allowing attackers to infinitely mint undetectable fake ZEC. The development team at Shielded Labs completed an emergency fix by June 1 and subsequently disclosed the details of the vulnerability. Following the news, ZEC plummeted 38% within 24 hours, with the market fearing that attackers may have exploited the loophole to siphon funds from the privacy pool without leaving any on-chain traces.
Hornby noted that he was commissioned by the non-profit organization Shielded Labs in April to identify protocol vulnerabilities before attackers could exploit them. Despite having the means to profit from the flaw, he chose to report the issue to the development team, stating, "I can't accept such a betrayal." Additionally, Hornby plans to apply for funding from the Zcash community to support ongoing security research efforts.
