Experts Assess the Risk of AI-Powered Crypto Wallet Hacks 🔹 Cybersecurity and blockchain industry experts have assessed the risk of cryptocurrency wallet hacks resulting from potential breakthroughs in mathematical research powered by artificial intelligence. The debate intensified after Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake warned that AI could threaten cryptographic security before quantum computers do and urged investors to prepare for “bunker mode.” 🔹 Vitalik Buterin agreed that these risks need to be taken into account while also urging the industry not to panic. Incrypted asked experts how realistic this scenario is and how the blockchain industry can prepare for it. 🔹 Drake warned that new mathematical methods could emerge, allowing attackers to recover private keys from public keys. This would threaten digital signatures, which verify a user's right to control their crypto assets.
