Anthropic 的 X 賬戶被盜,顯示代幣地址約 30 分鐘。最近的社交媒體漏洞是針對主流企業發起新的代幣地址的高調攻擊趨勢中的最新一例。
Anthropic 是從 OpenAI 中分離出來的,是最新一個被黑客攻擊並隨後被用來推廣加密代幣地址的知名賬戶。 Anthropic 很早就注意到了這一漏洞,並很快重新獲得了對其帳戶的訪問權限。
被黑的 Anthropic X 賬戶欺騙了 Venti,一個經過 X 溝通和風格訓練的機器人。該機器人的主要任務是通過內容進行營銷。 Venti 的行爲不敬,使用了最新的互聯網術語,被認爲與 4Chan 的價值觀和內容一致。
黑客與股票代碼 CLAUDE 共享了 VENTI 和冒充官方的代幣。其中一枚與此次黑客攻擊有關的代幣立即暴漲,在快速拉動後,爲利用者留下了大約 10 萬美元。

Crypto AI agents have gained popularity in the last months of 2024, first ignited by experimental accounts like Truth Terminal, Numogram (GNON), and their offshoots. Soon after that, high-profile AI agents like AI16Z combined their content with DeFi features.
As of December 2024, there are hundreds of small AI agent accounts, all fighting for attention. While Anthropic’s Claude was gaining ground, minor agents tried to attract followers and traders with their specific brand of content.
Even after the exposure, VENTI is still a relatively minor token a week into trading. The asset has been sliding since its launch, currently at $0.00025. In addition to the Anthropic hack, the token’s creators also caused a fast artificial pump, using it to rug-pull buyers who showed interest in the token.
The choice of promoting Venti through a hacked account is also seen as an attack on the project itself. Venti aimed for organic growth while training on X content data. The promotion coincided with a rug pull, which hurt VENTI more than the promotion helped. Venti was promoted in a second X message, which quoted an account that is generally supportive of AI memes.
AI agents are in a relentless tussle for mindshare. Even the original Truth Terminal is struggling to remain among the top 10 agents on social media. For Venti, the recent exposure for 11 minutes on the page of Anthropic is yet to translate into any significant following or token success.
The AI agent space as a whole has a market capitalization close to $10B, though new and small tokens can hardly compete with legacy assets that pivoted into AI. Not all AI agents are the same, and there are tiers of specialization. Some are intermixed with DeFi, others are content generators, and some are used for AI market analysis.
Previous hacks have been used to promote regular meme tokens or other types of projects. This time around, Anthropic was used to drive interest toward a new AI agent and a new token pretending to officially belong to Claude.
The latest hack follows attacks against corporate X accounts and influential persons. The account of AI agent Truth Terminal was also stolen briefly, although it has been recovered.
X account hacks have been one of the most common attacks this year. Just days ago, the Cardano Foundation lost control of its social media, where hackers promoted another Web3 asset. Other notable hacks include the account of Philip Bankss, the artist behind the CHILLGIY image and meme.
Even Drake’s account was compromised this week to shill a new meme token. The list also included McDonald’s Corporation and even the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
The hacked accounts have promoted fake airdrops, new token launches, or have spread malicious links.
