Taylor Hornby, the security engineer who found Zcash’s critical Orchard vulnerability, has added Monero to his audit queue after an AI-assisted review exposed one of the most serious privacy-coin flaws in years. Hornby confirmed the next target after being asked whether Monero could receive the same type of review. His answer was direct: he would add Monero to his queue of things to audit. The statement does not mean a Monero vulnerability has been found. It means one of the researchers behind Zcash’s emergency patch now intends to examine another major privacy-focused cryptocurrency.
