Hackers use open-source AI to implant malicious instructions on the chain, with a surge of 440% within a year

The Chainalysis report points out that cases of hackers using open-source AI to implant malicious instructions into on chain transactions and smart contracts have surged 440% within a year, with daily incidents increasing from about 2 to about 11. Attackers manipulate devices to steal passwords and funds through malicious instructions on the chain, and redirect assets to designated wallets. Hackers with backgrounds in North Korea and Iran have become the main force of such activities, and open-source models support local operation and bypass cloud defenses. (Source: Bloomberg)
