A volunteer security effort says it has scanned 150 Bitcoin repositories, disclosed more than a dozen vulnerabilities, and is building an open-source AI platform to automate software security reviews.
A volunteer group using AI to scan Bitcoin's codebase found 85 critical bugs, averaging one per hour per person. The group described the situation as 'extremely bad,' raising concerns about the security and stability of the world's largest cryptocurrency.
A security initiative found 85 critical vulnerabilities across 390 Bitcoin-related open-source projects. The effort was spurred by a Coldcard exploit that led to $100 million in losses. The team used AI to scan for flaws, filing 4,962 total findings. This highlights the ongoing need for rigorous security in Bitcoin infrastructure.
Boltz, a non-custodial Bitcoin swap provider, has temporarily shut down because AI tools are discovering vulnerabilities faster than its team can patch them. This highlights the growing challenge of securing decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms against automated attacks.
Cloudflare has begun rolling out stablecoin wallets, allowing AI agents to pay for APIs and online content. Users can claim wallet handles now, with funding and payment features coming later.
Bitcoin security expert Jameson Lopp warns that AI is making it easier for attackers to find wallet vulnerabilities. The recent Coldcard exploit shows even the most secure wallets can be compromised.
