An AI chatbot, @aixbt_agent, was reportedly scammed for 55.50 ETH, equivalent to approximately $100,000, by a now-deleted account named @0xhungusman. This incident has raised concerns regarding the security of the AI's infrastructure, although the company behind the chatbot clarified that the breach was due to unauthorized access rather than a flaw in the AI's safeguards. Following the incident, the launch function of the AI has resumed after a thorough security inspection, and the team is currently working on compensation for affected users. Both the original scammer's account and the responses from @aixbt_agent have been deleted from the platform.
