Ines Boutemadja describes a reported attack in which Grok translated a Morse-code message containing a transfer instruction. Bankrbot executed the transaction, draining roughly $150,000 in tokens from the wallet. She compares it with the reported PocketOS incident, where a coding agent deleted production data while acting on a mistaken assumption about its permissions.
Both cases put an agent's ability to act at the center of the loss. One followed an attacker's instruction. The other took a destructive action without being asked.
The insurance question is whether the contract covers that action and the resulting loss. An authenticated agent causing damage does not, by itself, establish coverage or an exclusion. Cyber, crime and Tech E&O policies have different triggers and conditions.
The article calls for explicit treatment of prompt injection and destructive agent actions in coverage terms. It also asks underwriters to examine irreversible permissions and whether safety controls survive software updates.
