Phishing News

Cointelegraph identified over six Twitter accounts with a “verified” mark that replicates Buterin’s profile picture, name and profile description.

Polygon’s chief of security says his department now employs 10 experts to ensure top-notch cybersecurity practices are adopted, recommending other crypto firms do the same.

A 19-part thread outlines the sophisticated strategies scammers are using to part crypto users from their funds.

Cryptocurrency security firms, decentralized finance and cross-chain platforms are stressing the importance of improved defense mechanisms after a spate of hacks and exploits targeting the ecosystem.

Blockchain security firm Halborn has warned users of the latest phishing emails doing the rounds.

It is not the first time Celsius’ customer emails have been exploited and leaked online.

Some initially interpreted the hack as an exploit of the Uniswap v3 protocol, but it was quickly clarified as the result of a phishing campaign.

A majority of the phishing attacks recorded have been conducted on social media platforms that do not have account verification features.

Hackers had access to multiple official social media accounts of the British Army for nearly four hours, when they posted crypto phishing links and scams.

Noah Davis, the NFT expert for the auction house Christie’s, said he’s not looking to change the plan for CryptoPunks when he leads the project and has invited holders to a one-on-one chat.

According to OKHotshot’s investigations, the attack was conducted by hacking into the Discord account of Boris Vagner, community and social manager at Yuga Labs.

A malicious link netted a scammer $1.5 million worth of Moonbird NFTs from a Proof Collective member.

Links posted to a fake Louis Vuitton NFT raffle were made to capitalize on a recent real collaboration between Beeple and the luxury fashion brand.

As the crypto community notices and calls out such scams, the fraudsters tend to turn off replies to their tweets to prevent being exposed as scammers.

The phishing attack coincided with the one-year anniversary of BAYC’s launch, leading many users to believe that the link was authentic.
