Up to 90% of Hacked Smart Contracts Passed Prior Audits
Up to 90% of smart contracts that were later hacked had previously passed audits, while attackers increasingly target human error and outdated infrastructure, ForkLog reports.
ForkLog cites data showing that up to 90% of smart contracts that were later hacked had previously passed audits. The attack surface is no longer limited to blockchain code: human factors and outdated infrastructure are playing a growing role.
Its latest report examines how Anthropic models have learned to automatically detect vulnerabilities in third-party code and generate exploits, reducing response times for teams. It also discusses why the industry was unprepared for this shift and how the rules are changing.
This may leave traditional audit-based security approaches insufficient as AI-driven exploit generation becomes more common.
