🚨 AI is giving fraudsters an unfair advantage, and it's happening fast.
We caught up with Eric Henry, CEO of @EXFILAI at @consensus2026 in Miami and one thing stuck with us:
"The bad guys don't have red tape."
While security teams react, bad actors are using #AI to:
⚠️ Scale scams at unprecedented speed
⚠️ Build fraudulent infrastructure in minutes
⚠️ Use social engineering to manipulate real people into giving up their assets
That last one is the scariest part.
The most sophisticated attack isn't always technical, sometimes it's just a convincing message at the right time.

By far my highlight in today's XRPL Commons Townhall.
A growing XRP ecosystem also attracts scammers.
@chainaraio is doing XRP forensic work, if you see a scam, report it to them so they can report it to authorities and flag it.
⚠️ Fake Recovery Scam Alert
Bots warn of "active scams", then send DMs to victims looking for crypto recovery help. This is a classic secondary scam!
Example scam accounts targetting XRP holders: @FrederickGl6 & @gustaborecalde
Always report scam losses to law enforcement!
🚨 Why this isn’t just a scam
• Abuse of trusted update paths, not fake links
• Soft wallets with frequent updates = prime targets
• Wallets drained silently
• Web2 Infra abuse indicate high attacker maturity
This is a systemic attack surface in Web3’s software supply chain

@Vet_X0 Bad actors often hack vulnerable internet facing servers (like the unpatched Synology NAS) and use them as middlemen.
That way, scams, phishing, and wallet drains come from someone else’s server, hiding the attacker’s real location and identity.
🚨 TrustWallet Hacker Infrastructure Discovered
A hacked Synology NAS running DSM 6.2.4 is likely vulnerable to RCE (CVE-2024-10441)

At chainara.io, we track when Web2 is weaponized in Web3 attacks
We’ve identified a security incident affecting Trust Wallet Browser Extension version 2.68 only. Users with Browser Extension 2.68 should disable and upgrade to 2.69.
Please refer to the official Chrome Webstore link here: chrome.google.com/webstore/detai…
Please note: Mobile-only users and all other browser extension versions are not impacted.
We understand how concerning this is and our team is actively working on the issue.
We’ll keep sharing updates as soon as possible.
⚠️ PSA: This is what a seed-phrase stealer looks like.
Scam sites mimic “rewards” or “wallet sync” pages, then ask for your seed phrase.
Real platforms NEVER do that.
Your seed phrase = your money.
Protect it.
Beware of scams using fake Ripple or XRP livestreams, giveaways, or deepfake videos.
Ripple employees will never ask you to send funds, share wallet info, or join investment streams.
Always verify information through @Ripple and @RippleXDev. Keep your XRP yours.
🚨 XRP Scam Alert 🚨
A fake “Xaman Wallet” site at xaman-xrpl.web[.]app is stealing user seed phrases. It impersonates XAMAN support and sends stolen funds to wallets!

I tagged Chainara on the $3 Million XRP theft and they immediately researched it. 🙏
The link:

Huge increase in phishing emails claiming hardware wallet security upgrades or verification processes. Ignore any such messages you receive unless you can independently confirm them and NEVER enter a hardware wallet's seed phrase into anything other than the hardware wallet.
