I wonder how difficult it is for hackers to play around with different LLMs, “trying their luck” to find bugs in the different blockchains in their open source code.
I wonder the same thing about developers auditing their own code.
The skill lies in knowing what to attack; the #AI will tell you how.

Hey #Monero Community, check this out.
On November 21, 2025, an incident occurred on the Cardano mainnet that caused a temporary disruption: Someone deliberately sent a malformed delegation transaction (a type of transaction used to delegate ADA to a stake pool).
This transaction caused a bug in the Cardano node that caused part of the network to start producing an “invalid” chain (a temporary fork).
For over an hour, block production slowed down significantly, and on the invalid chain, 846 blocks were reorganized (chain reorg).
According to Charles Hoskinson (founder of Cardano), the culprit was a disgruntled stake pool operator belonging to the “Fake Fred” group/discord (a group known for harshly criticizing Charles and IOHK).
The attack was specifically directed at Charles' personal stake pool, with the aid of #AI.
The attacker first said publicly that it had been “a personal challenge with no malicious intent,” but Charles insists that it was a premeditated attack and that an FBI investigation is already underway.
Perhaps when there are attacks against Monero, we should report them to the FBI.
I propose creating a Monero security committee, with five bureaucrats in charge, to be voted on by the community 😂
