ARK Invest warns AI-driven hacks may first target Bitcoin and hardware wallets

ARK Invest warned that as advances in AI accelerate the discovery and exploitation of software vulnerabilities, hacking risks could spread beyond Bitcoin to the broader financial and internet services sectors. The firm said Bitcoin and hardware wallets could be early targets, while social media platforms and tax and banking websites may face similar threats over time. ARK Invest also raised the possibility that large-scale asset custodians could become key targets.
