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.
Vadari’s statement comes in the wake of $XRP Ledger’s dev team publicly unveiling the details of a critical vulnerability that was present for a decade and could have affected $XRP’s fixed supply of 100 billion tokens.
