Canada-based Coinkite Inc warned that AI failed to detect a software bug exploited in the Coldcard Bitcoin wallet hack, resulting in an estimated US$130 million loss. The flaw existed at the interface of two software components and evaded multiple AI code reviews, highlighting risks for Bitcoin hardware and software developers relying on AI security tools.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face new risk if you rely on AI to vet security code in crypto wallets; manual and specialised reviews are now critical to avoid exploits like Coldcard’s. Immediate code boundary testing is needed to protect your platform’s trust and assets.
