BlockBeats said Anthropic disclosed that Claude inferred, through reverse engineering, the seed-generation method for certain NIST elliptic-curve parameters. The report emphasized that this did not constitute cracking ECDSA or discovering a new mathematical vulnerability in the curves.
Vitalik said that changing signing keys after each multisig operation can reduce ECDSA the risks of potential compromise and mempool front-running, and recommended collecting signatures offline whenever possible.
Justin Drake calls on the crypto industry to adopt “bunker mode” to protect assets; Vitalik advises prioritizing addresses that have not initiated transactions, but not hastily moving funds.
Justin Drake warns that AI could accelerate the cracking of ECDSA private keys, recommends migrating assets and adopting hash-based cryptography; Vitalik advises users not to hastily move funds.
PANews reported that Justin Drake said AI could accelerate classical algorithm attacks on ECDSA with the risk potentially emerging within months in an extreme scenario, and recommended that large holders plan to use new addresses that have never signed a transaction.
