Palo Alto, California, United States, September 5th, 2024, Chainwire

AI-driven platform detects fraud at its earliest stages, preventing billions in potential crypto losses

As scams grow more sophisticated and increasingly target crypto for laundering billions in losses, CUBE3.AI is pioneering a new era in fraud prevention. Today, the company announced major enhancements to its platform that bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3, enabling real-time risk assessment and the proactive blocking of scams like pig butchering, ransomware, sextortion, and others.

In 2023, investment scams alone led to more than $4.5 billion in losses, with 86% linked to cryptocurrency. A substantial portion of these scams originate in Web2—through social media interactions, fraudulent websites, or other online channels—before transitioning into crypto where recovering stolen assets becomes nearly impossible. While the industry has traditionally focused on either Web2 or Web3, CUBE3.AI leverages unique expertise and proprietary AI technology that seamlessly integrates both realms, enabling the detection and prevention of fraud across the entire digital landscape. This approach addresses a critical gap by offering a holistic view of fraud patterns across both Web2 and Web3, enabling early detection, thorough risk assessment, and timely intervention.

“The most damaging scams often involve complex journeys that span both traditional and crypto spaces. We’ve built a solution that looks at the full picture, from initial contact in Web2 all the way to final transactions in Web3,” said Einaras Gravrock, CEO of CUBE3.AI. “Real-time fraud prevention is a complex challenge that requires expertise in both realms, along with advanced technology capable of interpreting diverse data and understanding context. Our platform is more than just technology—it’s about restoring trust. Whether it’s protecting businesses from dirty money or safeguarding people from devastating losses, this solution marks a significant step forward in the fight against digital fraud.”

CUBE3.AI’s enhanced platform integrates data from social media, online platforms, and dark web sources, combining it with real-time Web3 transaction monitoring. Proprietary AI models trained to interpret the context of this data generate a comprehensive risk score, empowering businesses to act swiftly before scams escalate. By offering seamless visibility into both Web2 and Web3 activities, CUBE3.AI allows organizations to preemptively block threats that would otherwise go unnoticed until it’s too late.

“As criminals increasingly rely on AI to scale their attacks, our response has to be just as sophisticated. Our AI-powered tools connect the dots between Web2 and Web3, giving us a unique edge in identifying threats before they escalate,” said Chris Griffiths, CTO of CUBE3.AI. “By offering this level of visibility and speed, we empower businesses to make informed decisions and protect their users in real time.”

These new capabilities provide exchanges, financial institutions, and service providers with the early detection and risk management they need to avoid facilitating fraud, protect user trust, and minimize financial losses. By offering a solution that integrates data from both Web2 and Web3, CUBE3.AI sets a new standard in fraud prevention, helping businesses stay ahead of rapidly evolving threats.

Strengthening Crypto Security: Bybit’s AI Risk Engine Fortifies Hot and Cold Wallets, Screening $1 Billion in Withdrawals in First Half of 2024

2024-09-20T12:29:38Z

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Sept. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is stepping up its security efforts, using cutting-edge AI technology to fend off hackers and bad actors. In the first half of 2024, Bybit protected users by executing 32 million withdrawals and prevented the loss of over $79 million in client assets by vetting close to $1 billion in suspicious withdrawal attempts. More than $37 million in project funds were also safeguarded.

As part of its tiered approach to fund safety, Bybit’s focus on protecting hot wallets and cold wallets plays a critical role in preventing hacking and fraud. Bybit has strengthened its verification processes, applying extra scrutiny to large transactions and high-risk withdrawals. While most fraudulent attempts were prevented in the early stage, the exchange detected abnormal withdrawal requests involving over $940 million in cryptocurrency during the first six months of 2024, with over 8.4% confirmed as attempted fraudulent withdrawals.

Fraud Prevention in an Evolving Threat Landscape

As crypto adoption scales, fraudsters and hackers increasingly target individual users and institutional vulnerabilities. Bybit, as one of the leading crypto exchanges, stands as a critical line of defense against these threats, employing sophisticated AI-driven security protocols to foil illicit schemes. The rise of AI has emerged as an area of concern for security and risk experts, prompting service providers to reconfigure their security posture.

Covering Every Vulnerability with AI-Driven Protection

Bybit’s deployment of AI technology serves as a robust shield against evolving risks. From securing user wallet systems to detecting complex, AI-enabled fraud attempts, Bybit's enterprise-level AI fortifies each layer of its defenses.

All Bybit users can opt into multi-channel verifications and biometric authentication to ensure that their identities are securely verified. For instance, Bybit's risk engine recently thwarted an attempt involving face-swapping technology aimed at bypassing facial verification in its Know Your Customer (KYC) process. Thanks to its live face detection and virtual camera detection, Bybit's system swiftly blocked the attempt by the hacker.

With a proprietary risk control engine and user behavioral analytics models, Bybit streamlined fraud detection with a combination of both automated and human scrutiny. The wealth of data and algorithmic processes help the system and a team of over 50 risk and security experts detect irregular behavioral patterns and sound the alarm for suspicious activities. The approach significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, instructions and withdrawals.

A “Safety-first” Approach to Trading

“One of the main reasons users choose to use centralized exchanges is the high level of support and protection they offer. Bybit invests heavily in software, hardware and talent to ensure that our 40 million customers can trade with confidence, knowing that their assets are protected by the most secure blockchain security measures,” said Helen Liu, Chief Operating Officer of Bybit.

“We are pleased to have kept the fraudulent rate in withdrawals below 10% in the first half of 2024, and we are committed to strengthening our first lines of defenses to ensure that every aspect of the Bybit experience is safe and secure,” continued Liu.

Raising the Bar for Industry Security

Bybit has recently announced a comprehensive upgrade of its security measures. Verified by blockchain auditor CertiK, Bybit’s state-of-the-art safety model helped it secure a 10/10 trust score on CoinGecko. By leveraging multi-faceted security frameworks and heavily guarded vaults, Bybit ensures its users’ assets are stored in infrastructures designed to withstand even the most vigorous hacking attacks.

With its commitment to building lasting trust in the Web3 ecosystem, Bybit aspires to deliver the highest standards in security to set new security standards for the industry.
