IXBT Crypto Bot Hit by Exploit of $100,000

On March 19, 2025, AIXBT, a popular AI-backed crypto bot on the Virtuals Protocol, experienced a significant exploit, losing nearly 55 ETH—about $100,000. Developer RXBT explained that the breach was not a direct hack of the bot, but rather an attacker accessing its dashboard, draining funds in a targeted attack.

Despite recent security enhancements aimed at preventing agent manipulation, this incident revealed vulnerabilities, shaking investor confidence. A post from @aixbt_agent

showed a price drop of 16.4% to $0.098 on Kraken, although trading volume remained at $70.5 million. The bearish trend and phishing reports further clouded AIXBT's prospects, highlighting ongoing risks in the AI-crypto space as of March 2025.
