Maybe its a noob question, but I woke up this morning wondering: what if somebody makes an ASIC to instead of mining, destroy Bitcoin from the inside...?

There are ASICs out there with capabilities of TH/s, if someone applies this to hash cracking, it becomes a bit dangerous, no?

That would be 1000000000000 hash cracking attempts per second.

Your thoughts?
