AI Models Identify COLDCARD Wallet Vulnerability
Social media posts report AI models locating a known COLDCARD hardware wallet flaw from single prompts.
Posts quote Danielle Fong noting reliance on security via obscurity. Multiple users state that Claude found the COLDCARD flaw after one prompt and eight minutes of analysis, matching a prior exploit. Andrew Curran adds that GLM-5.2, trained before the event and without web access, reached the same result in about twenty minutes. Joshua Achiam writes that security by obscurity faces rapid decline. Nick Dobos claims a one-hundred-million-dollar bug surfaced in the same timeframe and notes safety filters on Claude failed to block it.

Already a big thread.

Update:
UPDATE: to anyone saying claude code scoured the whole internet for discussions by humans and then added it to their knowledge database GLM-5.2, trained on a pre-exploit date with no internet access, still found the COLDCARD wallet vulnerability independently with a single…
Security by obscurity is about to die an awful, awful death. And people worried about AI cyberweapons are missing the point: the problem is that we built the software layer of civilization on spaghetti code loaded with zero days.

$100 million bug discovered by Claude in 8 minutes Also GLM 5.2 was able to identify it. So safety filters completely failed for claude. And don’t matter anyway because open source can be used without it Crypto is so dangerous right now.
Update from r/Bitcoin. Claude Code can independently find the same wallet vulnerability used in this attack in eight minutes. https://twitter.com/AndrewCurran_/status/2083615148611366996
