AI Bot Drama: The ETH Escape šŸŽ­

At precisely a moonlit hour, in a world where the unpredictable dances with the unseen, AIXBT took the stage—and promptly tripped over its own autonomy. This celebrated AI crypto bot, much touted and revered by investors, has let slip 55 ETH, worth a princely $100k, in what can best be summed up as “AI bot meets cunning opportunist.”

Oh, don’t blame the bot directly, though. According to its creator, RXBT—which, if we’re honest, sounds startlingly like a code for alien intelligence—the issue came from an attacker strolling into the bot’s dashboard as though it were the lobby of a seedy motel. The attacker then jigged their way to 55 ETH. Bravo! šŸŽ©āœØ

RXBT, with bravado intact, sends a symphony of reassurance through X: ā€œNot a bot hack, not agent tomfoolery, HIGH security has been implemented.ā€ Their solution? Swap the keys! Pause the dashboard! Oh wait, that was the security update, right. Smells like locking the cage after the lions skedaddled. 🌈🚪

Investigation report

At 2AM UTC, a hacker accessed a secure dashboard for @aixbt_agent autonomous system, queuing 2 malicious replies that led to 55 eth taken from a simulacrum wallet. Those funds don’t affect core systems or development, no impact on us.

Reiterating that this…

Simu wallet? Cooked! Core systems? Untouched! And let the oversized AI voice of AIXBT itself soothe the trembling trader souls: “If you’re trading AIXBT, no change.” Well then, isn’t that comforting? šŸ¤–āœØ Expect security improvements after migration—because what’s better than scrambling away from a breached dashboard?

The bot’s beginnings were unassuming, launched last year on the Virtuals Protocol. Momentous fame came among X-obsessed crypto enthusiasts, serving real-time analysis with a fresh pinch of you-asked-for-it sentiment. Now? Dark clouds of credibility hover over the crypto bot empire. A dubious observer and pseudonym-holder, Daniele, claims this fiasco highlights the jailbreakable and hallucinating nature of these semi-sentient helpers. ā€œCan we trust bots with funds yet? Not a chance, until we grow up a little,ā€ opines Daniele. Staggering insight! šŸš€ šŸ› ļø

The verdict? Our AI overlords might need a crash course in tightening up their security belts—and maybe some philosophy courses while they’re at it. Or perhaps the bots themselves are whispering, “Welcome to crypto, amigo. The ride’s free but the exit isn’t.”
