CZ says AI crypto hacking fears are overblown, phishing is the real threat

  • —CZ: AI won't crack crypto encryption; cryptography isn't the weak link
  • —AI makes phishing messages more convincing, especially with leaked data
  • —Banks and internet systems use weaker encryption than crypto networks
  • —On Oct. 22 CZ flagged PHP flaws CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619
Why it matters: The focus shifts from quantum and AI threats to operational hygiene: phishing and unpatched servers remain the main attack vector against users and exchanges.
