The cryptocurrency wallet provider Bitget Wallet announced plans to expand AI-assisted threat detection. In the third quarter of 2026, the average number of signature requests flagged as potential phishing increased by 7.4 times, rising from about 5,000 in the second quarter to approximately 37,000. Bitget Wallet's Chief Operating Officer Alvin Kan stated that this increase may reflect both a rise in threat activity and enhanced detection capabilities, but existing data cannot quantify the contribution of each.Alvin Kan added that the statistic refers to flagged signature interactions, rather than independent attack incidents or confirmed financial losses. Bitget Wallet introduced AI-assisted risk detection in the second quarter, and the expanded AI checks analyze website code and domain registration information to identify signs of fraud, simulating transactions before user signatures to uncover hidden permissions. In October, 90% of the newly intercepted high-risk domains were identified by AI, compared to 36% in the second quarter; nearly 70% of the domains flagged by AI that month did not have matching alerts in the external threat intelligence sources it checked.Phishing threats continue to target cryptocurrency users. In July this year, a trader lost nearly $1 million due to signing a malicious Ethereum token authorization. An August survey by Rapid7 found that a phishing campaign targeted 885,000 phone numbers, directing recipients to a website impersonating a cryptocurrency wallet provider.
