Autonomous AI Hackers Are Here: Anthropic's Agent Exploits Smart Contracts for $4.6M Loss

Описание: In this critical security alert from Navigator's Sword, we expose the dawn of a new era in cyber warfare: the fully Autonomous AI Agent. We break down the shocking new Anthropic Research which proves that advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) like Claude Opus 4.5 have evolved from coding assistants into highly proficient, automated hackers capable of draining liquidity pools in minutes.

We dissect the data from the "Scone Bench" simulation, where an AI agent successfully stole $4.6 million by independently discovering Smart Contract Vulnerabilities that human auditors missed. Crucially, these were Zero-Day Exploits—flaws in code the AI had never seen before. The video analyzes the terrifying economics of this new threat: with the cost to execute a comprehensive vulnerability scan dropping to just $1.22, the barrier to entry for profitable black-hat hacking has effectively vanished.

We also discuss the frightening speed of AI evolution, noting that the "exploit potential" of these models is doubling every six weeks. This deep dive challenges the entire DeFi Security industry to pivot immediately from human-led audits to defensive AI systems. If you hold assets in Decentralized Finance, you need to understand why the old security models are dead and how Web3 Risk management must change to survive the AI arms race.
