600 million dollars evaporated, North Korean hackers + AI combined assault, this is no longer just technical offense and defense—it's a dimensionality reduction attack.

On May 15th, Drift Protocol and Kelp DAO suffered nearly $600 million in losses from two DeFi attacks, leading to approximately $9 billion in funds flowing out of Aave and other platforms. TRM Labs stated that suspected North Korean hacker groups are using AI to screen targets and design attack paths; Failsafe said AI has shortened vulnerability discovery time from several months to just a few hours. Research indicates that starting in 2025, AI could autonomously carry out most blockchain attacks, and Anthropic has not released Mythos but claims to have the ability to discover numerous zero-day vulnerabilities.
