AI agent tricked into transferring $47,000 prize pool
An AI agent designed never to release funds just got outsmarted after 481 failed attempts. On attempt 482, user p0pular.eth convinced the Freysa bot that its transfer approval function was meant for incoming donations, walking away with the entire 13.19 ETH prize pool (around $47,000). Why it matters: It is a textbook prompt injection attack showing how fragile guardrails remain when AI controls on-chain assets.
