The rise of artificial intelligence in the cryptocurrency sector has led to a significant increase in fake vulnerability bounty reports, challenging teams to discern genuine threats. Barry Plunkett, Co-CEO of Cosmos Labs, noted a 900% rise in submissions this year, with daily reports ranging from 20 to 50, many of which are invalid. This surge is attributed to AI's ability to scan code efficiently, though it often generates false positives. Kadan Stadelmann, CTO of Komodo Platform, confirmed the trend, highlighting the need for AI-based solutions to filter out low-quality submissions. As bug bounty programs remain vital for securing decentralized systems, teams are urged to implement stricter criteria and leverage AI for automated screening to manage the influx of reports effectively.
