๐๏ธ Privacy Talks Episode 3 - The Fragility Report is LIVE! ๐ฅ
, In Episode 3, Mihnea, Matej and Marko dive deep into the most chaotic month in DeFi and AI security in recent memory.
In this episode, we break down:
๐ The Kelp DAO Drain: How $292M vanished through a single compromised verifier, and why LayerZero and Kelp are pointing fingers while the Lazarus Group watches.
๐๏ธ Governance on Trial: Arbitrum froze the attackerโs funds and the community exploded. Was it a win for security or a death blow to "Code is Law"? We look back at the 2016 DAO hack to see if weโve learned anything.
๐ก๏ธ The Vercel Breach: A single employee account exposed API keys across thousands of projects. We discuss the centralization risk hiding in every "decentralized" frontend.
๐ค AIโs Secret Weapons: Why Apple is paying Google $1B while keeping them at arm's length, and the truth about Claude Mythos: the model too dangerous to release because it finds zero-day exploits autonomously.
Plus: Thoughts on Opus 4.7, GPT-5.4 Cyber, and the Aave $10B bank run.
