Fools have it every year, and bull markets are especially plentiful. A batch of fake AI arbitrage bot tutorials promoted through YouTube videos trick users into deploying malicious contracts, causing 224 victims to lose approximately 274.6 ETH in just a short time. The absolute numbers may not seem huge, but with AI Agent trading narratives hot right now, this is exactly when scammers can slip in easily. For most regular traders with smaller principal, the most dangerous thing isn’t that the AI you use isn’t smart enough—it’s that you hand your wallet permissions directly to code you can’t even understand.
AJian Little Tip: When using AI + Crypto products, you must have a separate wallet, small spending limits, manual signing, a whitelist, transaction logs, and a revocation/authorization-cancel flow. Above all, don’t directly copy so-called tutorials, don’t test unknown bots in your main wallet, and don’t grant unlimited approve.
