BlockBeats News, April 19, Bankless co-founder Ryan Sean Adams posted, stating, "The frequency of hacks in crypto has reached an all-time high. I believe this is related to AI. AI is giving hackers 'dark superpowers.' Defense must catch up as soon as possible; we are running out of time."


Earlier reports indicated that Kelp DAO suffered a hack resulting in approximately $292 million in losses. Kelp DAO issued a statement identifying suspicious cross-chain activities involving rsETH and has since paused the rsETH contract on the mainnet and several Layer 2 chains. They are conducting a root cause analysis in collaboration with LayerZero, Unichain, and security experts.
