Blockaid co-founder says onchain security incidents have been hitting new monthly highs

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.
