The overwhelming number of AI coding tool tutorials may be quietly planting an invisible bomb

I'm bringing up this topic because whether you're using Claude Code, Cursor, or other AI development tools, you need to be aware of a security vulnerability that is often overlooked.

Looking back at the attack chains over the past few years, it becomes clear. Initially, hackers targeted social channels that hold personal information, such as Telegram and email. After information leaks, what’s the next step? Naturally, it’s to target associated encrypted wallets and assets. The logic is straightforward—personal info → social accounts → asset transfer.

Where are the variables now? They lie within the AI tool ecosystem.

More and more developers are using these AI programming assistants to handle sensitive code, private key-related logic, and even debug smart contracts. Tutorials are everywhere, but few discuss: where are the security boundaries for your code snippets, development logs, and API keys when passing through these tools?

If history repeats itself, hackers might start by exploiting data from AI platforms, such as recorded code snippets, session histories, and linked account information. Once connected, from virtual identities to real wallet assets, the consequences could be disastrous.

This is not alarmism—Web3 developers really need to be alert right now.
