Chainalysis: Chinese AI models drove 440% surge in malicious blockchain records

  • Daily malicious on-chain records rose from 2.06 to 11.1 in less than a year
  • Chainalysis links the 440% increase to unrestricted open Chinese AI models
  • North Korea and Iran generate about two-thirds of new BDD activity
  • UNC5342 uses relays on TRON, Aptos and BNB Smart Chain
Why it matters: Blockchains are increasingly used as a censorship-resistant malware delivery channel, raising reputational and regulatory risks for public networks.
