AI and crypto platforms hacks.

[SuperBitMan]

Because of way people are saying AI is helping hackers hack exchange, wallet, casinos etc, has now made some people think that hackers only gives AI introduction to steal crypto from a platform and send it to them, just like the picture above, or that they just instruct AI managing a particular crypto platform to send them crypto and they do it.

Person no go fit just send AI message to steal crypto, this hackers only use AI for some things which are, using AI to identify potential security weaknesses, create convincing phishing messages, automate attacks, assist in developing malicious software and they can use it to Impersonate and make their hacking easier.

So this hackers are not just sending messages to AI like the way some people are thinking now, they only use AI to create things that will make the job easier and smooth.

You are right if you say AI is the reason for the many hack on crypto platforms because without AI those things I mentioned above will be very difficult for hackers to have access to.

[Chibit01]

I also understand the misconception of some people in the industry, especially how AI helping hacker news is spreading without properly identifying where Ai helps and what they actually do. Someone like me who doesn't know anything about hacking, no matter the access I have to advanced Ai won't be able to pull out any hacking, those hackers are experienced the Ai is just making things easier and hacking more common than it used to be.

[Btcdeybodi]

I don't believe that AI can hack an exchange, it only gather information on how a successful hack can be carried out while the hackers do the rest of the shit. These hacks can even result from insider leaked information and not literally by AI prompts. I know that because of AI, a lot of people might be deceived into believing that AI is the reason why these hacks are happening but they fail to realize that it is human who tells AI to do this and that, and they follow the command and give outputs that aids them in performing a successful hack. We should not do the mistakes of attributing everything on AI because even before Al became relevant, some major exchanges suffered major hacks so what can we say that happened those days?

[Joy- maker]

You are right if you say AI is the reason for the many hack on crypto platforms because without AI those things I mentioned above will be very difficult for hackers to have access to.

I can agree with everything else you said, but I have to disagree with you on this one. Although, I can't deny the fact Al has made certain aspect of cybercrime easier, fast and potentially more sophisticated. But, hackers had successfully hacked crypto exchanges, wallets and other platforms long before the existence of Al. So saying that without Al it would be very difficult for hackers to carry out attacks on platforms is inaccurate because they can actually do so without Al.

It will be difficult for the hackers to figure it out in a short period of time, but it certainly will be possible with time.
The Binance hack is a real prof that these hackers are using AI to make their checks for vulnerabilities and checking for the easiest, fastest and more convenient ways to carry out these hacks.

Think of it, the EIP 7702 which is an ETH improvement proposal that lets standard wallets temporarily adopt smart contract features without changing their address. (This is possibly a code that performs activities inside of the ETH on its own)
 

Because EIP-7702 lets an account delegate execution control, signing a deceptive authorization can give a malicious contract deep access to drain a wallet.

This may take a long time for a hacker to find out the flaw of this upgrade which was released 7 May, 2025, but AI made it more easier to find it's flaw.

AI is a higher threat than the Quantum Computer that's yet to be released, it's just a matter of time for it to be made visible for all to see.

We should not do the mistakes of attributing everything on AI because even before Al became relevant, some major exchanges suffered major hacks so what can we say that happened those days?

AI don’t create new security flaws, it just a speed multiplier if used positively. AI makes this things easier to do, see the scanning of code that takes weeks now takes seconds or even the drafting of spear phishing emails.

The thing  is just that developers uses this AI tools for automated code auditing and also for threat detection.

In all at the end of the day, security fundamentals like that of multi sig and cold storage remain completely untouched by AI.

[ColdLava40]

You are right if you say AI is the reason for the many hack on crypto platforms because without AI those things I mentioned above will be very difficult for hackers to have access to.

It's a misconception.

What Ai helps these hackers do is to make their work easier. they use AI to scan for loopholes that are present on these platforms. It's not even as easy as it sounds Because they take their time to search for it.

It's really scary because this is just the work of Ai, you can imagine what will happen when we finally have quantum computers up and running. It will be a whole of mess with such supercomputers combined with AI technology.

Nowhere is safe at this point from being exploited. These platforms should double down on their security systems.

[PostQuantumBTC]

I also understand the misconception of some people in the industry, especially how AI helping hacker news is spreading without properly identifying where Ai helps and what they actually do.

I was expecting SuperBitMan to point out some people that are having this misconception, but he did not quote anyone or people on this forum or on their board or someone non social media that are having this misconception. So how is it a misconception? Or are you people assuming that is what people are thinking about AI usefulness to hackers?

[Nathrixxx]

A lot is happening on the internet these days and this is why we must not take privacy for granted and maintain security standards as well, all these recent events are enough reason to make us embrace holding our asset on a non-custodial storage, it is time we Wise up and avoid others taken away our pride and coins from us.

Before AI became popular hackers have been hacking however, since AI became very popular in 2022 the hack level has increased more than it used to be.
Do you know how many crypto hacks that has happened this year alone, as of today there have been 207 crypto hacks or more that been recorded for 2026 and this year has not ended and more may still happen, so why do you think hacking is happening this way, before AI became popular in 2022 has there been a year that hack was this many.

So since you say it’s incorrect to say without AI it will be very difficult for hackers to carry out attacks, why is it that successful hack is more now.

You are right if you say AI is the reason for the many hack on crypto platforms because without AI those things I mentioned above will be very difficult for hackers to have access to.

Honestly speaking, your comment dey right for the parts wey I remove, but small misunderstanding dey this particular statement because before AI was developed, I believe that hackers have been working tirelessly to exploit weaknesses on most platforms. However, hackers started using AI because it makes things much faster for them, but the real hacking is literally done by the hackers.

To be sincere here, I also believe that most hacks that we might have heard online are not done with the help of AI (although I can't prove it) because, let's just imagine, a company misplaced its seed phrase, and one can see/use it to gain access to the company's wallet, and that's also a "hack," or let's just call it a security breach.

So my whole point here is that not all hacks are done with the help of AI; most of them are done because the owners or those responsible for securing a platform were vulnerable.

If you believe say AI fit dey help the hackers achieve their aim, why you feel say the other part of the post you removed no dey valid? I believe say AI follow for the things wey dey cause wahala now so I completely agree with wetin OP write, starting from thw caption of hom post. The things we dey see now na just one of the problems wey AI dey bring so we have to just live with them because we no get choice for the matter. I just dey feel bad say people don find ways of using AI for bad things.

No just dey jump to conclusions man. This na watin I talk; calm down, read am make you understand me properly.

Honestly speaking, your comment dey right for the parts wey I remove

So tell me, where is the area I said the part of his comment I removed is not valid?

[Cryptoprincess101]

AI just dey collect stray bullet for wetin no concern am. It seems that most of you do not even know that Al is limited, it's not every information that it can process and access. There was a site that i told AI to give me inner information of that site but it blatantly told me that it cannot access that site due to the security protocols that protects that site. Exchange hacks are common, it didn't start today so let's not make it sound like something new just because many exchanges are experiencing hacks. We have already been warned that if you don't have your keys that it's not your coin so why so some persons still keep and store their funds on exchanges? Do you think that there is any exchange that is above hacks but they are all very vulnerable to hacks and attacks. Make una no dey put everything for AI head when him dey very innocent.

There is no doubt that since Al became popular the level of hacking incidents and cyber attacks has increased significantly, as the so called malicious actors now have more sophisticated tools to operate. Making it easier for individuals with malicious intentions to launch attacks on crypto exchanges, wallets and other platforms.

To answer your question, successful hacks are more now because Al has lowered the technical barriers to carry out Cyber attacks. But it doesn't change the fact that security remains a shared responsibility.

[Versatile_choice]

I don't know where you get this information from, but I want to tell you that AI does not engage themselves into something illegal. I'm saying this from experience, I and my friends were having a serous discussion and one of them Said that AI is also making things get worse as scammers are now using them as a tools to scam people and also in hacking platforms. This discussion pushed me into asking AI things that is illegal and guess what?  they plainly told me that they are not created in that purpose, so I'm surprised to see this, although there are ones that could do such a thing. But it is not going to be as simple as it appears here.

What you were say was actually flawed before Ai came in, yes they were hacks but not to this extent, with good promptly and manipulation hackers don't need exceptional skills to do very well and this is why there have been more successful hacks than before.

Writing Malware, finding vulnerabilities and others has been easier with Ai. Company doesn't really lose their seed phrase before all of these or most of it happens.

Truth is, I'm not against or arguing the fact that the complaints from before and now are not the same, as there are more hacks now than before, and the reason why is because hackers now make use of AI to gain/get (vulnerability) information on whatever they want to hack or gain access to.

Company doesn't really lose their seed phrase before all of these or most of it happens.

I was just giving an instance; nothing much.

If it's that easy then there would be chaos cause bad actors that that don't have the skills of hackers or armed robber/those with criminal mindset can steal effortlessly with just commanding AI's to steal for them, it takes hackers like the Lazarus group to successfully carry out such drains on crypto platforms.
 I know that AI models are becoming very advanced but am not sure they can steal from crypto platform with a command by any regular person that's not a hacker. What happened this year is something some black hat hackers might find it tough to scale through.

[PremiumcryptoHub]

Currently there are many crypto exchange hacking also we all can see that above 6 billion dollars of crypto assets have been stolen from the biggest exchange but that doesn't mean that AI is the main reason for this hacking of Binance, because first the laptop of a Binance DevOps engineer was controlled by hackers, which allowed them to access the system and they stole a large amount of money from the Binance hot wall. But it seems to us that the hackers used advanced automation and AI-driven scripts to hide the transactions of stolen crypto assets from these exchanges.

Besides you all may know that many crypto platform have been hacked when there was no AI but it is safe to say that this artificial intelligence is now making the process of cryptocurrency hacking easier, faster and at scale, therefore it's true that AI defense should be used for the security of these crypto platform.
