Promote with Leviathan NewsMythos hit a 72.4% exploit success rate on zero-days across TLS, AES-GCM, and SSH — the exact cryptographic primitives underpinning $200B+ in DeFi TVL. Every multisig, every timelock, every bridge relay assumes those transport and encryption layers are sound, and that assumption just got invalidated for under $50 in compute. Formal verification of Solidity doesn't help when the model can chain four vulns to escape a browser sandbox entirely. Bessent got Citi, Goldman, Morgan Stanley, BoA, and Wells Fargo in the room but Dimon skipped — meanwhile JPMorgan is already inside Project Glasswing with access to the model, which tells you everything about who's actually moving on this versus who's still treating it as a briefing.
