Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake urges crypto to prepare 'bunker mode' for AI threats
- —Drake flagged the AI threat to ECDSA on October 7, 2026
- —He urged large holders to migrate funds to new addresses first
- —For load-bearing signers, he recommended frequent key rotation and SPHINCS
- —Drake named Binance, Bitfinex and Tether among those that should act
Why it matters: If the scenario plays out, coins on addresses with exposed public keys would be most at risk, requiring a mass migration of funds.
