A Solana wallet was poisoned in the first documented AI poisoning attack on the cryptocurrency market, resulting in a loss of $2,500 USD.
The attack involved an AI chatbot providing a fake link containing an API for Solana services, which stole the wallet's private keys and transferred the funds to a fraudulent wallet.
AI poisoning refers to the act of feeding bad data to AI models during the training process, and this incident highlights the dangers of AI systems in specialized fields like blockchain.
Developers and users are advised to verify all code and APIs, segregate wallets, and monitor blockchain activity to prevent similar incidents.
