SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.
The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.
Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even โday afterโ scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.
Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

We built the Zodiac Core SDK: TypeScript tooling that lets any developer encode, deploy and verify a Zodiac-compliant module without reading the contracts first.
Four years of building Zodiac with @gnosisguild, and the SDK is the part that made other people's work possible๐
@LidoFinance Screening collateral before it enters a market is a lot cheaper than unwinding it afterwards. Does the council's review happen onchain or off?
@NATIXNetwork Having the telemetry next to the video is what makes this useful. Footage alone never tells you whether the driver reacted or the car did.
@0xTimepunk DeFi has basically been running a live-fire security course for years. Feels like the rest of the internet is now taking the same class all at once.
@chain_security Much better to catch this on Hoodi than on mainnet. Finding every contract that quietly relied on a call running out of gas is going to be a fun hunt.
