Two major cold wallet companies simultaneously call on AI vulnerability hunters: don’t use vulnerabilities to farm traffic

Recently, the crypto industry has been hit by a wave of vulnerability incidents one after another.
Wallet makers have entered a state of full readiness.
Ledger and Trezor—the two cold wallet giants—have rarely spoken in sync.
The core message is simple: security researchers have a responsibility to disclose vulnerabilities according to the rules.
If the vendor doesn’t fix it within the agreed timeframe, then of course you can disclose it.
But don’t turn vulnerability publication into a business of chasing views.

Read between the lines, and the target is a new phenomenon within the industry.
An “AI digging army” uses algorithms to scan code at scale for vulnerabilities.
The efficiency is so high that vendors can’t possibly keep up with fixes.
What’s even more worrying is that some people, upon finding a vulnerability, don’t report it to the vendor first.
Instead, they carefully package it into posts and videos—collecting attention first before anything else.
The vendors have given this behavior a name: attention-grabbing.

To be honest, each side has its own logic.
Researchers believe that if vendors drag their feet on patching, public pressure is entirely justified.
Vendors, on the other hand, argue that the timing of vulnerability disclosure matters—because if it’s exposed at the wrong moment, users’ funds are left exposed.
In this tug-of-war, the most innocent are ordinary users.
Wallet code is getting increasingly complex, and AI scanning is getting more aggressive.
Security is no longer about diligence alone; it’s about disclosure timing and responsibility.

If AI finds that your wallet has a vulnerability, do you want it to notify the vendor first, or to publish it directly so the whole internet can watch?
