X User Reportedly Used Morse Code Prompt to Induce Grok-Linked Trading Bot to Transfer $200,000 in Tokens
An X user reportedly induced Grok and Bankrbot to transfer 3 billion DRB tokens, then valued at about $200,000. After reportedly sending a Bankr Club Membership NFT to Grok's wallet, the user allegedly asked Grok to translate a Morse code message and relay it to Bankrbot. The decoded instruction reportedly directed a transfer to a specified wallet, which was reportedly executed on Base. The recipient reportedly sold the tokens soon afterward; linked funds were later returned or converted.
