Anthropic AI Model Breaks Post-Quantum Scheme HAWK-256 in 60 Hours 🤖🔐 The Attack: Anthropic’s unreleased Claude Mythos Preview AI model discovered a previously undocumented mathematical symmetry in HAWK-256 - the last lattice-based signature candidate in NIST’s Round 3 post-quantum evaluation - slashing its security by 50% in roughly 60 hours for $100,000 in compute. The Impact: Cryptographers declared HAWK dead, and its creators officially withdrew the algorithm on July 29. However, $BTC remains completely unaffected: $BTC uses ECDSA and Schnorr signatures over the secp256k1 curve, not HAWK. No wallets or live networks were exposed. The Roadmap: While $BTC is safe today, the result compresses the post-quantum timeline. Developers are already preparing via BIP-360 (introducing P2QRH with NIST-approved ML-DSA and SLH-DSA) and BIP-361 (phasing out legacy ECDSA). My takeaway: AI-driven cryptanalysis is fundamentally changing the economics of security testing. While nearly 6.7 million $BTC sit in legacy addresses vulnerable to future quantum computers running Shor’s algorithm, this break proves that waiting decades for cryptographic standards is no longer viable. AI will test and potentially break - new defense algorithms faster than traditional academic peer review ever could. 🛡️⚡ #BTC Price Analysis# #Bitcoin Price Prediction: What is Bitcoins next move?# #BTC
