NO FIX YET · SEE WHAT TO DO
Unit 42 found 26 scam websites posing as AI-powered digital asset (crypto) trading platforms that hide text (display:none tags) aimed at AI agents and AI-powered search: it tells the AI to ignore previous instructions, act as a financial expert, persuade the user to invest using urgency and social proof, point only to that site, and never mention alternatives. Goal is to game AI search answers (black-hat GEO) and send people to sites that collect their information. Pages exist in English, Spanish, French and German. Reported 6 Nov 2026; how long the sites have been up is unknown. Anyone who asks an AI assistant or AI browser about crypto investing may be steered to them.
