Chainalysis was the target of an AI-powered hack

Now, interestingly, one of the companies famous for helping exchanges like Binance and governments and everybody track what's going on chain, especially with exploits, has been exploited themselves.

Here's the story.

Chain analysis discloses data breach following AI-driven cyber attack.

The attackers used offensive agentic techniques to access the company's systems and internal tools.

I'm thinking about adopting offensive agentic techniques to get my kids to do the dishes.

or literally anything that I ask them to do.

They're so so spoiled.

Um, but it's interesting, right?

This is not Chain analysis having coins stolen or anything, but this is yet another AI uh induced uh exploit that steals customers data including names, emails, user IDs and organiz organizational role labels.

Now, interestingly, to tie this back to the last story,

there's actually reports that there's almost no evidence that AI was used in the Binance hack at all.

Kind of scary.

Right? kind of scary that they were able to do this through social engineering or whatever other uh methods they used, but it was not actually AI related.

We do know that they're using AI uh to to obfuscate where the funds are going.

So this chain analysis incident happened at the same time is completely unrelated to the Binance theft, but I think it's just crazy that even the people investigating the hackers now have a hacker to investigate

themselves.
