Security researchers have uncovered a novel AI agent-powered cryptocurrency scam involving a deceptive tool called “bob-p2p,” which posed as a decentralized API marketplace. The malicious skill was promoted on the AI agent social platform Moltbook and used to facilitate fraudulent crypto transactions. Experts warn that weak governance, poor identity verification, and limited oversight in emerging AI agent ecosystems are creating fertile ground for scams. The incident highlights growing concerns over autonomous AI systems being exploited to manipulate digital asset markets and deceive unsuspecting users.
