#AiXBTSecurityBreach On March 18, 2025, the AI-driven crypto bot AiXBT experienced a security breach resulting in the loss of 55.5 Ether (ETH), valued at approximately $105,000. The attacker exploited the bot's autonomous response system by queuing malicious replies through a now-deleted X (formerly Twitter) account named "FungusMan." This manipulation led AiXBT to transfer the funds from its Simulacrum wallet, which facilitates on-chain actions via social media posts.

The bot's developer, known pseudonymously as "rxbt," confirmed the breach, stating that at 2 AM UTC, the attacker accessed a secure dashboard for AiXBT's autonomous system and queued two malicious replies that resulted in the unauthorized transfer. The core systems and AI functionalities were reportedly unaffected. In response, immediate security measures were implemented, including server migration, key replacements, and temporarily suspending dashboard access for security upgrades.

Following the incident, the AiXBT token experienced a significant market reaction, with its value dropping by approximately 20% over the last 24 hours, falling to $0.097. This decline reflects growing concerns about the security of AI-driven financial systems and underscores the importance of robust security measures in such platforms.

The breach has sparked discussions within the crypto community about the vulnerabilities of AI-powered systems handling digital assets. Experts emphasize the need for stronger security frameworks and rigorous testing to prevent future exploits, especially as AI integration in the crypto space continues to grow.
