OKX Founder Star: To Strengthen Security Self-Inspections; LLM Penetration Testing Launched Over a Year Ago

OKX founder Star said the exchange will strengthen internal security reviews and continue improving its security systems, drawing lessons from recent security incidents at other exchanges, according to a Nov. 1 post. He disclosed that OKX launched automated penetration testing based on large language models (LLMs) more than a year ago to enhance the depth, breadth, and efficiency of its security testing. Star added that OKX detects and responds to cyberattacks, including advanced persistent threats (APTs), on a monthly basis. The statement comes as security concerns across crypto exchanges have intensified following recent industry breaches. Watch for whether other major exchanges adopt similar LLM-driven security testing and for further disclosures on OKX's security posture.
