Blockaid co-founder: On-chain security incidents are reaching new highs month after month,AI with agents intensifying risks
PANews October 13 reported that Web3 Blockaid co-founder Ido Ben-Natan posted on X that since August the release of the first-half report, the number of on-chain cybersecurity incidents has continued to reach new all-time highs month after month. Attackers are motivated by profit, and attacking on-chain infrastructure offers hackers the highest returns. As the funds accessible to AI agents increase, this trend will become even more severe. According to Fortune, Ben-Natan said the company is currently “busier than ever,” partly because hacking attacks have increased sharply. Nansen CEO CEO Alex Svanevik also predicted that by 2028 through AI agents rather than manually clicking interfaces to trade crypto assets will become the norm.
