Bankr Disables Transactions After Hacker Accessed 14 Crypto Wallets
Summary
AI-powered trading assistant Bankr has suspended its services, including swaps and transfers, after an attacker gained unauthorized access to 14 user wallets. While reports suggest individual losses may reach $150,000, Bankr has pledged to reimburse all stolen funds. Security experts, including SlowMist founder Yu Xian, suggest the breach likely involved social engineering and prompt injection exploits targeting the interaction between automated agents like Grok and Bankr. Users have been advised to stop signing transactions and secure their assets on new, clean devices.
