    AI cracks unsolved WWII Enigma cables in 10 hours

    AI models have just cracked German military Enigma messages from World War II that went unsolved for over 80 years.

CryptoCellar now marks several 1941 radio intercepts officially solved by AI. Why it matters: Frontier AI is graduating from chat into genuine archival forensics and historic codebreaking.
