avoid.net/kaito→63/100[CAUTIONARY]

KAITO is the native token of Kaito AI, an AI-powered 'InfoFi' (information finance) platform built on Base blockchain, founded by former Citadel quantitative trader Yu Hu and launched in February 2025. On March 15, 2025, both the official Kaito AI X account and Yu Hu's personal account were compromised by hackers who spread false claims of wallet breaches while simultaneously holding short positions on KAITO, netting an estimated $1 million in profit from the manufactured price panic. The platform faced additional scrutiny from blockchain investigator ZachXBT over alleged AI bot spam incentivized by its Yaps reward system, which was ultimately sunset in January 2026 after X revoked API access to all InfoFi applications.

avoid.net/hypurr-nfts→64/100[CAUTIONARY]

Hypurr NFTs are a 4,600-piece cat-themed NFT collection airdropped by the Hyper Foundation on September 28, 2025, to early Hyperliquid users who participated in the November 2024 Genesis Event. On the day of launch, blockchain investigator ZachXBT flagged the theft of eight Hypurr NFTs from compromised HyperEVM wallets, yielding approximately $400,000 in profit for the attacker. The collection itself is a legitimate product of the Hyper Foundation, but the incident exposed wallet security vulnerabilities in the HyperEVM ecosystem and coincided with a broader pattern of exploits across Hyperliquid-based protocols in late September 2025.

avoid.net/eigenlayer→76/100[LOW RISK]

EigenLayer is a legitimate Ethereum restaking protocol operated by Eigen Labs that became a high-value target for phishing campaigns, wallet drainer attacks, and social engineering in 2024 following the launch of its EIGEN token. In October 2024 alone, the protocol's official X account was compromised to promote a fake airdrop resulting in at least $800,000 lost by one victim, and a separate email-based social engineering attack redirected approximately $5.7 million in locked investor tokens to an attacker's wallet. EIGEN holders and restakers face an elevated and persistent threat surface from impersonation sites, fake airdrop claims, and token-approval drainer schemes that exploit the protocol's name and brand recognition.
