Solana Foundation CISO: AI is making crypto scams more difficult to prevent

On August 1, CoinDesk reported that Michael Coates, the new chief information security officer of the Solana Foundation, said that the biggest threat to the encryption industry is shifting from smart contract vulnerabilities to AI-driven social engineering and identity forgery. Coates pointed out that many sensational attacks actually stem from operational errors at the Web2 level rather than problems with the blockchain itself. With the popularization of AI and deep counterfeiting technology, fraud will become more difficult to identify."Be wary of completely forged voice calls from acquaintances." Anyone can be deceived, and project parties should build a multi-layered protection mechanism. Regarding quantum computing, Coates said that the Solana Foundation has developed a response strategy and emphasized that the industry should protect users by default, rather than requiring users to become security experts.
