CZ warns AI-driven phishing, not broken Bitcoin cryptography, is the real threat

  • —Zhao: AI does not need to crack Bitcoin's cryptography, only exploit leaked data
  • —Ledger devices sold via CryptoBilis tied to $93–95 million in thefts; Tether froze 10 million USDT
  • —Coldcard seed flaw let attackers drain about 1,816 BTC (~$116 million) from over 5,200 addresses
  • —Zhao: no crypto wallet and no technology is 100% secure
Why it matters: The threat is shifting from blockchain exploits to user compromise, raising the bar for key hygiene and hardware wallet supply-chain checks.
