AI’s New Ally: Hackers on the Payroll

AI companies are now hiring hackers to uncover security flaws. It's a nightmare scenario for startups: a hacker breaks into an AI model, using it to generate harmful content or extract sensitive data. But by paying hackers to do this, companies aim to identify and fix vulnerabilities.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are designed to block sensitive content, such as dangerous drug instructions. However, hackers can bypass these safeguards using various techniques, like feeding the model long strings of Q&A to trick it.

These vulnerabilities extend to image generators like Midjourney and DALL-E, which can produce explicit or violent content.

Haize Labs, a new startup, partners with companies like Anthropic to intentionally jailbreak models, exposing and fixing weaknesses. Israeli security group DeepKeep helped Meta revamp its firewall after discovering methods to access user information.

Not all hackers play by the rules. Some, like the vigilante known as Pliny the Prompter, create unauthorized versions of AI models. His “Godmode” version of GPT-4, stripped of safety features, was quickly taken down, highlighting the ongoing struggle AI companies face in keeping up with prompting attacks.

Is Altcoin Liquidity a Ticking Time Bomb?

Bitcoin briefly surged above $62,000 in the early Asian session but fell to $61,400 amid significant on-chain activity involving the German government’s BTC holdings. Germany transferred 750 BTC, worth over $46 million, possibly preparing for a sale, which added bearish pressure. Ether followed suit, dropping from $3,425 to $3,375, while the CoinDesk 20 Index also retreated.

Alternative cryptocurrencies have faced a bigger liquidity drain than Bitcoin and Ether, with open interest in altcoin futures dropping 34% since BTC peaked above $70,000. In contrast, Bitcoin and Ether futures fell by only 13%. Arca's Jeff Dorman highlighted the instability in the altcoin market due to reduced bid-side liquidity and fewer market makers.

Meanwhile, the Cardano blockchain successfully repelled a DDoS attack aimed at stealing staked tokens, without disrupting network operations. Cardano's ADA token remained stable before dipping slightly below 39 cents, reflecting broader market sentiment.
