Web3 security platform Blockaid is seeing a sharp rise in attack activity, according to co-founder Ido Ben-Natan. In a post on X, Ben-Natan said the number of onchain cybersecurity incidents has continued to set record highs month after month since the company released its first-half report in August. He said attacks on onchain infrastructure offer the highest returns for hackers when the goal is financial gain, and warned that the pattern could worsen as AI agents gain access to larger pools of capital. Fortune separately reported that Ben-Natan described Blockaid as being at its busiest point ever, citing a major increase in hacking activity as one reason. In a separate report, Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik said he expects trading crypto through AI agents, rather than by manually clicking through interfaces, to become the norm by 2028.
Web3 security platform Blockaid is facing a surge in attack-related activity, according to co-founder Ido Ben-Natan.
In a post on X, Ben-Natan said the number of onchain cybersecurity incidents has continued to reach new record highs month after month since Blockaid published its first-half report in August.
He said that when attackers are motivated by profit, targeting onchain infrastructure offers the highest return for hackers. He also warned that the trend could become more severe as AI agents gain access to more deployable funds.
According to Fortune, Ben-Natan said the company is currently at its "busiest ever" in part because hacking attacks have risen sharply.
