⚠️ AI may pose a threat to crypto wallets. Expert urges people to prepare
Ethereum researcher Justin Drake suggests that AI could help find a way to calculate private keys from public ones. In his estimation, in the worst-case scenario, such a breakthrough could happen in months, not years.
This refers to a hypothetical attack in which a large cluster of graphics processing units could recover a key in about a week. Drake is particularly focused on addresses whose public keys have already been exposed.
He recommends planning in advance to transfer assets to new addresses and strengthening the security of large vaults.
