A global volunteer developer team used the AI tool Kimi K3 to scan nearly 400 projects within 24 hours, uncovering 4,962 security vulnerabilities, including 85 critical flaws. The findings heighten concerns about the Bitcoin ecosystem's security. The development comes after an attack on Coldcard hardware wallets that exploited a five-year-old key defect, resulting in more than $100 million worth of bitcoin being stolen. The incidents highlight risks tied to self-custody and the double-edged effects of AI in security.
Bitcoin's ecosystem is facing a sharp security deterioration. A global volunteer developer team used the AI tool Kimi K3 to scan nearly 400 projects in 24 hours, turning up 4,962 vulnerabilities — 85 of them critical.
The scan follows an attack on Coldcard hardware wallets that exploited a key defect present for five years, leading to more than $100 million worth of bitcoin being stolen. The episodes underscore the risks of self-custody and the dual-edged nature of AI in security.
