Bloomberg: AI Threats Increasing, Over Half of Blockchain Attacks in 2025 Theoretically Executable Autonomously by AI

Odaily Planet Daily News In April 2026, two major DeFi attacks on Drift Protocol and Kelp DAO caused nearly $600 million in losses and led to approximately $9 billion in capital outflows from protocols such as Aave. TRM Labs investigator Nick Carlsen stated that hacker groups linked to North Korea are suspected of using AI to assist in target selection and attack path design. Failsafe CEO Aneirin Flynn said AI has compressed the time for discovering blockchain vulnerabilities from months to days or even hours. The report noted that Anthropic has not fully released its AI model, Mythos, due to cybersecurity risks, claiming the model has the ability to discover large-scale zero-day vulnerabilities. Its research shows that in 2025, over half of blockchain attacks could theoretically be completed autonomously by AI. (Bloomberg)
