Taiwan faces wave of open-source AI attacks from China-linked hackers, FT

The attack highlights growing AI-enabled security risks for crypto infrastructure — from CEX custody and DeFi protocols to token launches and fundraising — and signals a need for stronger security, incident response, and regulatory scrutiny to protect adoption and assets.
