AI and crypto platforms hacks.

[Amphenomenon]

-Snip-

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.

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.

Ohh, now what you are saying is clearer, earlier there were quite a number of your words that was questionable. The risks and dangers Ai poised is alarming and it's even becoming more except regulation is as swift as this, the previous regulations or control will seem as nothing.

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.

I know it was an instance but it is not like I'm trying to being an argument but one wasn't a good one because the rate or chances of that happening is low, and then you use the word "most" on it.
Wording is important.

[Churchillvv]

The part AI participate in is less significant than the part which is done manually. Do if anybody Dey think say people we dey hack dey just wake up ask AI for hacks to money dey ignorant or misinformed na the truth of the matter. When this guys program code them dey keep data records of the current stage of application or programs and product once the company do any update them go first find the vulnerability then take billions out and some times go unnoticed but this days them Dey take huge amounts so e dey very noticeable and na group back not individual hack.

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.

This is a lie, you cannot ask AI for phishing answers and it offers you, it had been trained not to answer such questions. I have asked AI many similar questions to give me a clear answer hot to create phishing link or bypass certain procedures to get quick results, but AI told me she doesn't deliver such messages.

What hackers may do is to ask the question indirectly, so that AI will only give a legitimate answer that'll give the hackers clue on how to proceed with their dirty job.

You know there is a good template how to ask AI questions and then get direct answer how you want it to be. These hackers understand that and use it very well to their advantage.

Yes, I agree with you that hackers know very well how to ask AI what they want to know and how to get the information they want. Although AI never helps them with any information that hackers can use to harm people. If you ever ask AI how to make poison, AI will never answer you. But if you ask the same question a little differently, which things are poisonous and how to survive them, AI will give you a list of ideas and will advise you on its own what poison is. That is, I think hackers also use the same formula, they only search as much as they need to know and as much as they know, they get someone's personal information and that in a different way.

[Exitoral]

AI can't be the reason for many hacks. Hacks has been going on way before AI came on board. AI just made it much easier and cheaper. Just asking it a few questions and they will answer.

Hackers now focus on hacking AI agents. Attacking AI directly. People who use AI agents frequently with no proper security will bite dust. If you check how hackers operate, they only do so according to the trend. Everyone is fascinated about AI and hackers sees this and move with the trend.

[Agathamay]

Omo e come be like AI go don Dey regret wetin carry am come our country because anything wey just happen now especially the bad ones, the next thing na to throw the blame straight to AI  and this your post don make me remember how even government officials Dey deny some things wey dem been talk in the past and dem go just use claim say the previous thing wey dem talk na AI, so that kind thing go make people believe say, Ai fit even enter bank for broad day light rob the bank carry the money come give us lol.

[WhoYouCantKill]

E no even Dey possible say AI self go fit manage everything about a company, be it casino or exchanges. I no sure say anybody fit dey that foolish to hand over complete control to AI make e just dey make decisions, especially the financial decisions. Na true say AI don really dey advanced now and them fit actually do real work now, even work wey humans supposed do, but no matter how smart AI don become, e only get some tasks wey company owners fit just give AI to handle, e no fit ever be complete control, because them self already know the implications of that mumu action.

With time, hackers are becoming stronger, through which we are constantly hearing news of crypto platforms hacking, which is really putting the common people in more panic. Hackers can easily and quickly identify wallet weaknesses with the help of Artificial intelligence, due to which they can easily hack wallets and steal the money of common people. When hackers can find a wallet and platforms weakness, it becomes very easy to hack them. The more powerful the hacker becomes, the more difficult it will be for common people to keep their money safe. Awareness must be adopted to protect your money from hackers.

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.

If you can casually send AI to steal somebody's crypto from their wallet, hack into a platform that holds funds or hack into a bank to steal from their vault I believe that the world would be in a panic by now because loses would be imminent, AI cannot directly steal for anybody. AI thinks with speed many times than the fastest human intelligence so what can take us days, weeks and even months to figure out can take AI a very short time to think and figure out.

I believe that this artificial super intelligence is what these hackers are relying on to figure out complexities on how to figure out security lapses and assist them in developing softwares to aid their impersonations. For these platforms to counter these breaches they have to also develop their own stronger resistance possibly with AI to reject the hack attempts, now it would depend on who is ahead between the hackers and platforms in terms of using AI tools for their own purposes.

[Salahmu]

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, 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.

You are right, I no say technology done they do plenty things but however e never reach the way people they talk about am ooh and I no even believe say the technology go fit reach that point because e they impossible for person to send am go thief another company money by overriding all the platform security system, that's very absurd for anybody to think that way because there are things way AI no go fit do, so actually the only help way AI go fit give na this things way you explain and definitely e no go pass the means way those people they use hack exchanges.

[MainIbem]

You are right, I no say technology done they do plenty things but however e never reach the way people they talk about am ooh and I no even believe say the technology go fit reach that point because e they impossible for person to send am go thief another company money by overriding all the platform security system, that's very absurd for anybody to think that way because there are things way AI no go fit do, so actually the only help way AI go fit give na this things way you explain and definitely e no go pass the means way those people they use hack exchanges.

Even if say technology done advance, AI no be merlin, person no fit just tell AI to go theif dem eh go run am, lie lie eh no dey work lie that. Ai not on em own sabi person keys or penetrate any wallet. Eh never get that kind power. Hacker they only use am to enhance their activity, like scan for loopholes or human error wey fit give dem access to penetrate. Make we just say AI dey assist dem carry out better job but no get power on em own to to override servers.

[Showlove01]

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.

That is what we call been at an advantage of something, if someone is a hacker and fortunately he understands or knows how to use an AI that is a big plus for the person, ai is an advance machine or tools that can facilitate any task given to it especially those within it's capacity, because there are things AI can not do no matter how smart it is. So you are right we can only make use of something if we have knowledge about that particular thing.

[Cryptomultiplier]

You are right, I no say technology done they do plenty things but however e never reach the way people they talk about am ooh and I no even believe say the technology go fit reach that point because e they impossible for person to send am go thief another company money by overriding all the platform security system, that's very absurd for anybody to think that way because there are things way AI no go fit do, so actually the only help way AI go fit give na this things way you explain and definitely e no go pass the means way those people they use hack exchanges.

Hacker they only use am to enhance their activity, like scan for loopholes or human error wey fit give dem access to penetrate. Make we just say AI dey assist dem carry out better job but no get power on em own to to override servers.

I still remember a story of how hackers used AI tools to fake real facial identity of top leaders in a company and then instructed them during a kind of meeting online to send some funds and the managers did so thinking it was their bosses. Only later to discover that it was AI tools that created the visual resemblance and was used in deceiving them.
So AI is only as good as the person using it, otherwise it is just like another spanner or hammer in the hands of a novice.

Na true AI no fit just act on him own, e no get how he wan be wey AI go just work by himself con go thief money. Dem just depend on your instructions to do what you want and na true say for now Dem never really get the power to carry out all hacking prompt on their own and even as Dem dey like that, no be everything Dem fit access even if you give them command but I still think say wetin Dem fit do more than to just scan for loopholes and weakness. I go just say everything has advantage and disadvantage and na how e be with AI. Even if Dem design am to assist us make work easier some people go still prefer to use am do bad just as we dey see now.

A lot of things are already going wrong because of AI, we have many people that have been scammed through the help of AI and right now hack is happening successfully through the help of AI.
I don’t know if AI is a blessing to the world or a problem to the world, with the way things are going if it continues like this AI will become a big problem to the world and some countries will start banning the use of AI, I know that AI was created to make things very easy for human but humans, being what they are, have decided to use the same AI to scam people and making things difficult for people.

The only thing I can say is that people should start getting smart. Don’t believe anything you see until you verify because AI can do a lot of things that some people still don’t know about.

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.

Before the coming of AI, crypto scams had been happening, hackers are live and they keep doing their activities, with or without AI, hacks will happen.

About how AI had made it easy, I think it has made some difficult works easier for hackers, because they can give them more guideline how to go about everything, but mind you, if you don’t know how to do it, you can not do it with just the use of AI. Therefore, all these hackers knows their work, they only use AI to make their works easier, and some difficult tasks are been done by AI for them to help them have access to what they think cannot be possible for them and that’s why hackers are becoming serious since they have tools to ease their work.

[Su-asa]

You are right, I no say technology done they do plenty things but however e never reach the way people they talk about am ooh and I no even believe say the technology go fit reach that point because

I understand your point, and I agree with some parts of your comment. Tye part I have to agree with is that technology hasn't gotten to the point where it will steal funds from an entity and then send it to your wallet or whatever without you doing anything.

e they impossible for person to send am go thief another company money by overriding all the platform security system,
On the other hand,

Here comes the part where I don't think it's correct; the reason for not agreeing with this party is that ai don't really need to override all the security systems on an entity before it gets any information it wants, as any little weakness can be exploited by a hacker, but at the same time, it's not all weak security vulnerability that can give a better result to a hacker
However, what I actually mean here is that ai can be used to detect a weakness on any platform (but it's not guaranteed because not all platforms have vulnerability for hackers to exploit), then send the information to a hacker then the hacker takes advantage of it.

[Perfectbaby]

Do you know that the AI is being coded by an ordinary user just like me and you? Of course, not everything that AI can actually do and again, some of the information that is being encoded could be wrong at the process of formation.
Security should be out priority and whenever people are not cared about security then there is every tendency for the platform to be compromised. The more days are going the more people are deploying different tools to pipeline their fellow users or exchange or even gambling sites, as I know platform should be updating their security on a regular basis as that is their priority. When users funds are well secured then there are every need for them to keep patronizing that Same site.

Thank you for understanding me,  that is the exact template hackers uses to bypass many protocols in the crypto industry, as long as you know how to bait AI to pour out answers to you, a smart person will point out the weakness and the strength from what AI answers to them. And you know these hackers are smart in the game, especially too they have every dollar to acquire every tools and software needed to bypass any boundaries across many cex and wallet.

[osasshem]

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.

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.

2026 has shown how fast the use of AI can improve and make things easier for everyone who can make use of it, and that's what these hackers are exploiting at this moment. Hackers are always on the chase of breaking anything that is said to be very secured, just to prove you wrong. AI came to make it much easier for them on the part of brainstorming and looking for an easy/faster way to bypass the security protocols, that's why to stand in a fight, you must be ready to fight back.
