Without hackers, encryption is like a hothouse flower. Everyone talks about decentralization, cryptographic security, and immutability. But when it comes to money, it's all about interface verification, third-party tools, internal processes, and human oversight. Unless these mechanisms are breached, no one will ever seriously dismantle it. Bybit was tricked into losing control through the Safe interface, Bitget was compromised by a third-party security product that inserted forged withdrawal slips, and Binance's signature pipeline was taken over and drained using EIP-7702. All three cases involve the same problem: you think you're signing a normal transaction, but you're actually handing over permissions. These vulnerabilities weren't invented by hackers; they were left by the industry itself. Everyone just pretends not to see them when no one is testing them. Hackers are currently the only people still seriously conducting stress tests. They don't look at white papers, audit reports, or "we use multi-signature" presentations; they only look at whether money can be transferred. If it can be transferred, it proves the system is fake. North Korea continues to attack the signature layer not because they are morally superior, but because they've discovered it's the most lucrative, slowest, and least likely to be modified area. The industry has been attacked and the cries for redress have been sung, but the necessary restructuring hasn't happened, waiting for the next opportunity. AI will make this happen faster. Attackers can find vulnerabilities in bulk, forge interactions, and automate probing. Defenders can use these methods too, but the difference is that attackers only need to succeed once. Without this continuous, results-oriented pressure, exchanges will continue to treat security as a cost item and loss coverage as a public relations tactic. Retail investors will continue to put their money into opaque signature chains, thinking that a protection fund is enough. Hackers are not the industry's enemies. They are the only ones still forcing the industry to move from feigned security to actual security. Without them, crypto will continue to live in the self-deception of "we are secure" until something truly significant comes and everything collapses. Being attacked is painful, but flowers in a greenhouse die sooner.
