AiXBT Token Falls 20% After AI Influencer Hacked for $100K in Ethereum
AiXBT, a popular AI influencer, was hacked, leading to a loss of 55.5 ETH (approximately $105,000). The breach occurred when the scammer, operating under the pseudonym FungusMan, exploited vulnerabilities in AiXBT’s autonomous system to queu malicious responses, which resulted in the transfer of funds from the agent's Simulacrum wallet. The developer, RXBT, stated that the attack did not compromise the core systems, and additional security measures have since been implemented, including server migrations. Despite assurances regarding the fundamentals of AiXBT, the token's market value dropped by about 20%, bringing it to $0.097. This decline reflects a larger trend in AI-related tokens, whose combined market capitalization has fallen from nearly $17 billion to below $5 billion since January.
