X user tricks Grok into sending them $200,000 in crypto using morse code [View all]
https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/x-user-tricks-grok-into-sending-them-200000-in-crypto-using-morse-code-3361036/Simple! Grok has a link with an automated trading bot,' Bankrbot'
NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!
As explained by cryptopolitan, the user sent a Bankr Club Membership NFT to Grok’s wallet. This expanded the AI’s permissions within the Bankr system, allowing it to perform actions like transfers and swaps that were previously restricted.
Grok was then prompted on X to translate a Morse code message and pass it directly to Bankrbot. The decoded message instructed the bot to send 3 billion DRB tokens to a specific wallet address.
The translated message was then treated as a valid command and executed immediately, with the transaction completed on Base, transferring the full token amount to the attacker’s wallet.
Tokens sold immediately after exploit
