Ripple Warns About AI Threat Following Bug That Could Have Created Billions of XRP

Mayukha Vadari, an engineer with RippleX, has warned about the increasing security threats with the advent of artificial intelligence. This comes after developers identified a critical vulnerability in XRP Ledger (XRPL) that would have enabled attackers to mint trillions of XRP from thin air. "Things have changed with AI. You can't just sneak in a critical bug patch in a regular public release process, because you're going to get caught and reverse engineered right away," Vadari said in a recent post on X.
