On March 15, 2025, Kaito AI, an intelligent artificial platform to analyze the Crypto market, and its founder, Yu, is a victim of social media on X (previously Twitter). The attackers took control of the account and claimed that the Kaito AI governor had been at risk, and the users warned that their money was in danger.
According to the Blockchain Defi Warhol investigator, the attackers opened a short position on Kaito symbols before publishing the wrong alerts. Their goal appears to manipulate the code price down so that they can benefit from the artificial decline.
However, the Kaito AI team quickly regained control of the account at risk and reassured users that their wallets remained safe. The team also said that they had implemented strong security measures to prevent such incidents in the future, noting that the attack seemed similar to recent violations targeting encryption accounts.
The company wrote, “This account and @punk9277 were at risk. Kaito’s governor was not at risk. We have now prepared access to Twitter accounts. Please naked with us and we check how this occur Kaito.
The rise in such electronic attacks led to a disturbing increase in losses within the ecosystem for encryption. According to a report issued by the Blockchain IMMUNEFI security platform, the losses in February 2025 were 20 times higher than in January 2025, with a sharp increase in fraud targeting investors.
