AI doesn’t just write code anymore—it can also automatically create cyber weapons! Shocking news from Anthropic has just come to light.
Their Claude research model successfully discovered and developed an exploit for a critical vulnerability in the Linux kernel, CVE-2026-98432. In just 53 minutes, Claude turned a “use-after-free” bug into a tool for gaining root control.
The vulnerability has a severity rating of 9.8/10, has existed in Linux since version 4.4, and can be exploited remotely without authentication. Just think: a lot of cryptocurrency infrastructure runs on Linux.
This is a frightening turning point in cyberwarfare, as AI can now automatically go from finding bugs to weaponizing them.
As AI gets smarter, are our cybersecurity—and the crypto ecosystem—safe? What do you think?
