Hacker threats in the AI era aren’t just a problem for the crypto industry!
CZ warns that AI is making hacker attacks more frequent and effective. Even crypto exchanges are vulnerable, and traditional banks and everyday infrastructure face risks as well.
Two incidents have occurred recently:
• 🇫🇷 French bank Crédit Mutuel Arkéa was hacked, with more than $133 million stolen from multiple accounts. The funds were transferred on-chain in the form of USDC and USDT.
• 🇸🇪 On November 2, hackers breached the refrigeration systems of several European supermarkets. The temperature in a freezer at a Swedish ICA store even rose to 50°C, causing large quantities of food to spoil and be discarded.
AI is lowering the barriers to launching cyberattacks. Cybersecurity is no longer a challenge exclusive to the crypto industry—it’s an issue that the entire financial system and society at large must confront.
