Black October! What Is Happening to the Internet? | Hari Mulackal & Odysseas Lamtzidis

AI has made hacking roughly 15x cheaper and scaling exponentially, forcing a defensive catch-up where crypto firms start with a structural edge over legacy finance.

• AI collapses hacking costs: Hari Mulackal says offensive cyber capability is now ~15x cheaper than January, and halves (10x) every 6-12 months, turning hacking from a bespoke skill into a scalable "factory."
• Zero-day clock hit negative: Companies used to have months to patch disclosed vulnerabilities (CVEs); Mulackal says that window is now effectively negative days.
