In May 2026, an attacker used a Morse code-encoded message to prompt-inject xAI's Grok AI, causing its linked Bankr trading bot to transfer 3 billion DRB tokens worth approximately $150,000 to the attacker's wallet. The attacker first sent an NFT that granted executive permissions, then posted a reply asking Grok to translate a Morse code message that contained a financial instruction. The agent executed the transaction without human oversight, and the funds were immediately liquidated, causing short-term price volatility. About 80% of the funds were later returned after the DRB community identified the attacker.
