Indian Cybersecurity Agency Warns AI-Assisted Attacks Affect Crypto Exchanges

According to TechFlow, on November 5, an advisory from India's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) said the AI-assisted attack campaign named CRAFTY FALCON is escalating, affecting institutions including cryptocurrency exchanges and virtual digital asset service providers, with attackers stealing wallet keys and transferring funds.

The agency said attackers enter systems through test environments exposed to the internet, then move to production environments using shared credentials and other methods, and use AI security tools to generate and refine attack scripts. Some attacks are scheduled on weekends or holidays to delay detection and response. CERT-In recommended that relevant institutions strengthen 24/7 monitoring.
