The rise of AI-assisted hacking is expanding the threat landscape beyond exchanges and into every layer of the crypto ecosystem. Developers, employees, and anyone with access to sensitive systems are now potential targets for highly personalized and convincing attacks.

Experts warn that these campaigns can last weeks or even months, using trust and familiarity as weapons. With AI enhancing communication, impersonation, and content creation, attackers can operate with unprecedented precision and scale.

The key takeaway is clear: security is no longer just about code—it’s about people. As AI continues to evolve, organizations and individuals must become more vigilant, verifying identities, limiting access, and recognizing that even the most routine interactions could be part of a larger attack strategy.
