Hacker breaks into AI crypto bot aixbt's dashboard to snatch 55 ETH - 'Coin Telegraph' News Summary (United States) | BEAMSTART
In a March 18 X post, “rxbt” — the maintainer of the bot called “aixbt,” which commentates on the market — said its core systems weren’t impacted, and the breach wasn’t the result of manipulating the AI.“We’ve migrated servers, swapped keys, paused dashboard access for security upgrades, and reported hacker addresses to exchanges,” rxbt added.
Observers initially thought someone had manipulated the bot, after the AI agent platform Simulacrum AI posted to X that it sent a 55.5 Ether (ETH) tip to the attacker, X user “0xhungusman,” whose account has since been suspended.
