The Indian Cyber‑Security Agency has disclosed that criminals are using artificial intelligence to facilitate cryptocurrency theft.
New Delhi – The Indian Cyber‑Security Agency issued a public alert stating that sophisticated artificial‑intelligence techniques are now being leveraged by cyber‑criminals to pilfer funds from cryptocurrency wallets.
According to the agency, AI‑driven tools can automate the creation of convincing phishing messages, mimic legitimate transaction prompts, and even analyze blockchain data to identify vulnerable accounts. These capabilities allow attackers to scale theft operations that previously required manual effort.
Officials urged cryptocurrency users and service providers to strengthen authentication measures, monitor transaction anomalies, and stay updated on emerging AI‑based threats. The agency also announced plans to enhance its monitoring infrastructure to detect AI‑facilitated fraud in real time.
