On-chain security incidents hit record highs month after month, Blockaid co-founder says AI agents will worsen the risks

Odaily News — Blockaid co-founder Ido Ben-Natan said that since the release of the first-half report in August, the number of on-chain cybersecurity incidents has continued to hit record highs month after month. Attackers are motivated by profit, and attacking on-chain infrastructure offers the highest return on investment for hackers. As the funds accessible to AI agents increase, this trend will become even more severe. Ben-Natan also said that Blockaid is currently in one of its busiest periods since its founding, partly due to the sharp increase in hacker 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.
