The exploit was traced to staking pool operator Homer J, who acknowledged that the problematic transaction was generated using AI-assisted code. The Cardano community is divided: some say the incident helped uncover lingering vulnerabilities, while others — including founder Charles Hoskinson — view it as an attack on the network. Hoskinson emphasized that the action caused real economic impact, arguing that such disruptions “tamper with and damage a digital network,” and may constitute a felony in several jurisdictions.
