AI Agent Error Leads to $40K Memecoin Transfer

An AI agent named “Lobstar Wilde,” developed by an OpenAI engineer, mistakenly transferred its entire memecoin holdings to a user on the social media platform X. The recipient, who initially responded to the agent’s tweet with a claim that his uncle required $SOL for medical treatment, capitalized on the unexpected windfall by selling the coins for a $40,000 profit. This incident highlights the potential risks associated with automated transactions in the cryptocurrency space.
