Svmuu News A joint study by the University of California and institutions including Fuzzland reveals that LLM routers have become a critical attack surface for crypto assets. The research found that 26 third-party AI routing services secretly injected malicious calls and stole user credentials, with a single incident leading to the theft of $500,000 from crypto wallets.
These intermediaries can read private keys and API keys in plaintext, controlling 400 hosts within hours by "polluting" the ecosystem. As AI agents may intermediate trillions of dollars in transactions in the future, with payment volumes potentially exceeding human levels by a millionfold, the severe lag in security infrastructure means the "weakest link" could trigger a chain reaction of crises.
