AIXBT bot breached, AI agent security risk alarm
Hackers gained unauthorized access to the security dashboard of the AIXBT automated system. According to preliminary analysis, the hackers used two misleading responses to manipulate the bot to transfer approximately 55 ETH (equivalent to 100,000 USD) from the victim's wallet to the hacker's wallet.
This is a simulated wallet that AIXBT uses to build a sample portfolio, unrelated to the core system. Although there is no detailed technical report yet, many experts suspect that the hackers executed a form of "command injection" through social media posts to deceive the bot.
Information about the incident was first disclosed by 0rxbt, the manager of the AIXBT account, through a post on X. 0rxbt confirmed that this is a security incident related to unauthorized access but asserted that it was not due to direct manipulation of the AI agent.
The price of the AIXBT token subsequently plummeted over 21%, down to around 0.094 USD. Currently, the token has slightly recovered to 0.096 USD, down nearly 10% in 24 hours. The project's market capitalization currently stands at 82.46 million USD.
The AIXBT team stated that they have completed server migration and security upgrades. 0rxbt plans to improve the system following the incident while asserting that the attack did not alter the fundamental value of AIXBT.
Although the project claims that the lost funds do not impact core operations, the drop in token price reflects investor concerns about the platform's security. The community is awaiting a detailed report to better understand how the hackers bypassed the initial protective layers.
