Onchain security incidents hit record monthly highs, Blockaid co-founder says AI agents will exacerbate risks

Odaily News: Blockaid co-founder Ido Ben-Natan stated that since the release of the H1 report in August, the number of onchain cybersecurity incidents has continued to hit record monthly highs. Attackers are profit-driven, and attacking onchain infrastructure offers the highest return on investment for hackers. As AI agents gain access to more capital, this trend will become even more severe. Ben-Natan also noted that Blockaid is currently in one of its busiest periods since inception, partly due to the significant increase in hacking attacks. Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik predicts that by 2028, trading crypto assets through AI agents rather than manually clicking through interfaces will become the norm.
