FBI Investigates Cardano Chain Split Triggered by AI Error

The Cardano blockchain experienced a brief chain split in October 2023 after an AI-generated transaction executed by a staking pool operator, Homer J., led to potential malicious intent and an investigation by the FBI. Founder Charles Hoskinson involved the FBI due to concerns of a deliberate attack on the network. This incident raises concerns about blockchain vulnerabilities, prompting legal scrutiny and a slight dip in ADA prices. The ecosystem is actively working to address the vulnerability and mitigate further risks.
