Bitcoin Red Team reports 5K findings in sweeping security audit
“There’s a lot of chaos right now in the ecosystem. We absolutely understand that many people are being bombarded with security issues right now,” said Bitcoin developer Calle.
A Bitcoin security group made up of just 16 volunteers said they have found nearly 5,000 potential issues during a rapid AI-assisted review of projects in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Bitcoin Red Team is a volunteer security effort that includes Rob Hamilton, CEO of AnchorWatch and Bitcoin developer Calle, among others, which has been using AI tools and human review to scan open-source Bitcoin-related repositories for vulnerabilities.
“We’re averaging on the order of 1 critical exploit per hour per person,” said Calle in a post to X on Wednesday.
