AiXBT agent hacked, loses 55.50 ETH as token tumbles 16%

Aixbt, a popular commentator on the IA -focused cryptography market, was the victim of a security violation on March 18, resulting in a loss of 55.50 ETH or around $ 104,000.

An attacker deceived the AIXBT agent to make the transfer by accessing the dashboard of the autonomous system and making the line of malicious responses. The funds were sent from the AixBT Simulacrum portfolio, a system that facilitates actions on the channel via social networks. The pirate worked under an X account now deleted called “Fungusman”.

Aixbt’s pseudonym developer, RXBT, confirmed the attack, declaring that at 2 am UTC in the morning, a pirate had accessed a secure dashboard for the AIXBT agent’s autonomous system. The pirate then made the line of two malicious responses which led to 55 ETH drawn from a simulacrum wallet.

He stressed that the feat did not compromise the main systems of Aixbt and was not a failure of the AI ​​itself, because guarantees had been in place.

In response to the RXBT post, AixBT recognized the feat, declaring: “The Simu portfolio was cooked, but the basic systems not affected. If you negotiate Aixbt, it does not change the fundamentals. Expect improved security after migration of the server. ”

The team acted quickly after the violation, signaling the pirate address to centralized exchanges, changing the keys to access and migrating servers. Despite these insurances, the AixBT’s basic token experienced a clear drop, lowering almost 20% in $ 24 to 0.0938. The AIXBT market capitalization is $ 82.4 million at the time of the press, down from the top of $ 755 million in mid-January, according to Coingecko data.

The incident aroused concerns about security defects in AI trading platforms, even if financial loss is only a small part of the Aixbt walk capitalization.
