The $71 million court order involving Arbitrum and potential North Korean hackers highlights the complex legal risks facing decentralized protocols when they intervene in security incidents. Kelsie Nabben, Research Fellow at RMIT and author of *Decentralised Digital Security, Code Community Crisis*, joins the panel to examine how these interventions create precedents for legal liability. The discussion shifts to the rise of autonomous AI agents, which are fundamentally altering organizational efficiency and software development. These agents excel at bug hunting and complex refactoring but introduce significant security vulnerabilities, such as prompt injection attacks and unauthorized access to sensitive keys. Ultimately, the integration of AI into organizational workflows necessitates a shift toward assuming persistent insecurity, where the focus remains on containing the "loss radius" of potential exploits rather than attempting to achieve absolute, unattainable security.
