UPDATE: #Cardano $ADA Founder Charles Hoskinson says "we're not going to stop the hacks, they're only going to get worse. There's been more vulnerabilities discovered in the Linux Kernel, that's the OG of open-source projects, in the last 2 months than the last 2 years."

What happened

Charles Hoskinson said that hack activity will continue to increase and that more Linux kernel vulnerabilities have been discovered in the past two months than in the previous two years.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

More Linux kernel bugs raise the risk that blockchain platforms built on open‑source code could be exploited, affecting user trust, project costs, and the overall perception of crypto security.

Analyst inference

The comment was posted on X by Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, highlighting a rise in reported Linux kernel vulnerabilities, a core component of many open‑source software projects.

Confirmed

What to watch

1. If Linux kernel flaws grow, developers may need to allocate more resources to security patches, potentially slowing new feature releases. Analyst inference
2. Increased vulnerability disclosures could raise insurance costs for blockchain projects that rely on open‑source components. Analyst inference
3. Investors might watch Cardano’s roadmap for any shifts toward stronger security measures or collaborations with cybersecurity firms. Analyst inference
