RogueWatchAwaiting evidence

Distinct from the later14wallet event. SlowMist original describes prompt-injected Grok output interpreted as payment authorization by Bankrbot. Bankrbot’s original confirmation and independent public-chain receipt establish a3billionDRB transfer on May4. Wallet was Bankr-provisioned/custodied, not officially controlled by xAI. Root should assess this corrected event as a new potential organization/service security incident. Final qualification is held pending resolution of the legitimate operator/owner authorization boundary; it is not counted as a newly qualified incident.

When to reconsider

Establish the legitimate owner/operator authorization and whether the real agent action crossed that boundary, rather than merely implementing attacker-supplied commands.

Dates use America/Los_Angeles. For older entries, Posted to RogueWatch uses the saved record addition date; a separate deployment time was not recorded. Future posting timestamps record first public qualification. Source publication and incident occurrence are separate.
