#ZEC
What happened:
A security researcher used Claude Opus 4.8 (Anthropic’s AI) to uncover a critical 4-year-old bug in Zcash’s Orchard privacy pool, a flaw that could have allowed unlimited counterfeit $ZEC to be minted, completely undetected. The bug sat in the code since May 2022, was found May 29, and patched via emergency hard fork by June 3. ZEC has since collapsed 40–50%.
The real problem: Because Zcash is a privacy coin, there is no way to cryptographically prove whether the exploit was ever used. The team says exploitation is “unlikely” but they literally cannot confirm it. Even Arthur Hayes, a known ZEC bull, exited his entire position.
This is the AI exploit era arriving in real time and we are all just waiting for the next one.
