Audit log

Every state-changing event for aixbt (AIXBT): moderation decisions on community submissions, plus corrections and updates from the news pipeline. URL-based decisions are designed to carry three independent witnesses — the original source, an Internet Archive snapshot, and a Solana memo signed by our publicly-disclosed publisher key. Archive coverage is still being backfilled, so each decision below reports its own snapshot status rather than assuming one exists.

Observers initially believed the AI had been manipulated, after Simulacrum AI posted that it had sent a 55.5 ETH tip to an X account, 0xhungusman, which has since been suspended. The maintainer, rxbt, stated that core systems were not affected and that the breach did not result from manipulating the AI. Remediation steps reported were migrating servers, swapping keys, pausing dashboard access for security upgrades, and reporting the attacker's addresses to exchanges. The AI Incident Database (incident 1003) records the event as an alleged compromise and lists rxbt as developer and 0xhungusman as alleged deployer; the attribution is unconfirmed and the identity of the attacker has not been established in the sources reviewed. Per CoinGecko data cited by Cointelegraph, the AIXBT token fell 15.5% to about 9 cents after the incident.","heading":"March 2025 dashboard compromise","severity":"high","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Cointelegraph: Hacker breaches AI crypto bot aixbt, steals 55 ETH","type":"news_article","url":"https://cointelegraph.com/news/hacker-breaches-ai-crypto-bot-aixbt-steals-55-eth"},{"credibility":2,"name":"AI Incident Database, Incident 1003","type":"research","url":"https://incidentdatabase.ai/cite/1003"}]},{"content":"Sources describe the project as maintained by a pseudonymous developer, rxbt. The 2025 incident involved a dashboard that allowed prompts to direct the agent to move funds, which the maintainer characterized as an access breach rather than AI manipulation. A researcher quoted by Cointelegraph (S4mmy) said AI agents managing crypto funds need more testing to resist compromise. Only one explainer-type source (low credibility) describes the pseudonymous team; no formal complaint or enforcement action naming any individual was found.","heading":"Pseudonymous maintainer and operational security","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Cointelegraph: Hacker breaches AI crypto bot aixbt, steals 55 ETH","type":"news_article","url":"https://cointelegraph.com/news/hacker-breaches-ai-crypto-bot-aixbt-steals-55-eth"},{"credibility":3,"name":"Plisio: AIXBT explained (explainer)","type":"other","url":"https://plisio.net/de/ai/aixbt"}]},{"content":"On a CoinGecko page fetched on 13 October 2026, AIXBT showed a price of about $0.02065 and a market cap of about $20.6M (the page also gave $20,537,701 in its FAQ); circulating, total and maximum supply were each listed as 1 billion. Other CoinGecko-derived snapshots in search results showed values between roughly $19.4M and $26.9M, so the figure is time-dependent; the requester's $20.8M figure on 7 October could not be independently reproduced but is consistent with this range (a Blockworks page powered by CoinGecko listed $20.86M). CoinGecko lists an all-time high of $0.9426 and an all-time low of $0.01634 on that page, implying a decline of roughly 98% from peak. Low-credibility guides report similar drawdowns.","heading":"Market profile and volatility","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"CoinGecko: aixbt","type":"other","url":"https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/aixbt"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Blockworks: AIXBT price","type":"other","url":"https://blockworks.com/price/aixbt"}]},{"content":"No regulatory action, court filing or formal investigation concerning aixbt was found in the searches performed.
