Crypto News: Hackers Target Kaito AI with False Claims of Wallet Compromise

The post Crypto News: Hackers Target Kaito AI with False Claims of Wallet Compromise appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

On March 15, 2025, Kaito AI, an artificial intelligence-powered platform for crypto market analysis, and its founder, Yu, fell victim to a social media hack on X (formerly Twitter). The attackers gained control of the account and falsely claimed that Kaito AI’s wallets had been compromised, warning users that their funds were at risk. 

According to blockchain investigator Defi Warhol, the attackers also reportedly opened a short position on Kaito tokens before posting the false alerts. Their goal appeared to be manipulating the token’s price downward so they could profit from the artificial decline. 

However, Kaito AI’s team quickly regained control of the compromised account and reassured users that their wallets remained secure. The team also said that they had implemented robust security measures to prevent such incidents in the future, noting that the attack seemed similar to other recent breaches targeting crypto-related accounts.

The company wrote, “This account and @Punk9277 were just compromised. The KAITO wallets were NOT and are NOT compromised. We now have regained access to the twitter accounts. Please bare with us as we investigate how this happened. We had high standard security measures in place to prevent it – so it seems to be similar or the same to other recent Twitter account hacks. We’ll update as soon as we can. To reiterate – KAITO token wallets have not been compromised.”

The rise in such cyberattacks has led to an alarming increase in losses within the crypto ecosystem. According to a report by blockchain security platform Immunefi, losses in February 2025 were 20 times higher than in January 2025, with a sharp increase in scams targeting investors.
