Crypto: Avalanche Founder Warns of Vulnerabilities AI Could Exploit

The founder of Avalanche believes that the crypto industry is too focused on a potential break of cryptography. According to him, artificial intelligence could first exploit the vulnerabilities already present in software and wallets. The debate gained momentum on October 7, when Justin Drake, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, called on the industry to prepare a “bunker mode” . He specifically recommends transferring funds to never-before-used addresses, to keep public keys hidden behind a hash function. His concern involves ECDSA, the signature mechanism used by many wallets.
