Aixbt Hacked: 55 ETH Stolen, AIXBT Token Dips

Hackers infiltrated the secure control panel of the autonomous system Aixbt, resulting in the theft of 55 ETH (approximately $107,000) from the wallet of Simulacrum—a tool designed for constructing model portfolios. The bot’s developer, Rxbt, confirmed the incident, stating that the attacker inserted two malicious responses that enabled the unauthorized withdrawal of funds.

Aixbt, an autonomous AI agent launched in late 2024 on the Virtuals Protocol platform, rapidly gained traction among traders as an analytical tool for market trends, accessible via the purchase of the AIXBT token.

Rxbt asserted that the attack did not compromise the bot’s core systems or its ongoing development, emphasizing that user funds remained unaffected. The developer further clarified that the assailant had not manipulated the AI agent itself, as stringent security measures had been implemented over the past few months. In response to the breach, the development team migrated servers, altered access keys, temporarily suspended control panel access, and provided cryptocurrency exchanges with information on the hacker’s wallet addresses.

Aixbt itself confirmed that the Simulacrum wallet had been compromised, though its core systems remained intact. A company representative reassured users that security enhancements would follow the completion of the server migration. In a separate post, the team downplayed the impact of the 55 ETH loss, likening the incident to a routine occurrence in the industry.

Speculation arose among some users that the theft may have been an inside job. In response, Rxbt stated that additional security measures were being introduced to fortify the system.

Following the breach, the AIXBT token depreciated by 5% in a single day, with monthly losses reaching 55%.
