Crypto fishing scams discharged $ 10.25 million in January.

A blockchain security company scammer reported that Crypto Phishing Scams consumed $ 10.25 million from 9,220 victims in January in January, decreasing 56 % from a loss of $ 2,358 million in December.

However, the report pointed out that bad actors have evolved and implemented a more sophisticated attack method.

Ethereum user who focused on the target

According to fraudulent sniffers, Ethereum users account for more than 80 % of the stolen funds under the effects of phishing fraud.

Ethernereum's loss exceeded $ 8.6 million, and BNB chains and arbitrum users lost $ 710,000 and $ 572,000, respectively. Polygon and optimism also saw a loss of about $ 191,000 and $ 82,000.

The company has noticed that malware -driven attacks have greatly contributed to these losses. UNISWAP PIRMIT2 Exploit alone sucked $ 1 million, but directly transferred $ 549,000 to victims. The transaction simulation spoofing lost 471,000 dollars.

Fishing tactics evolve

The report emphasized the increase in sophistication of phishing fraud. In one case, the spoofing of the transaction simulation was involved in the victim who lost $ 460,895, which lost 143.45 ETH.

This tactic operates the on -fin state between transaction simulation and execution, deceives users, and permits malicious transfer.

Another rise in threats includes fake telegrams, which have increased by more than 2,000 % since November 2024.

The company pointed out that the attacker is currently infiltrating the legal cryptographic community, not a famous person. They use a seemingly reliable invitation to invite the victims to an illegal telegram group.

When you get inside, the victim interacts with fake bots, counterfeit trading platforms, and deceptive airdrops. Victims involved in these channels unconsciously actively activate malicious code that damages confidential data, such as the qualifications and passwords of the wallet.

Solana users have also become the main targets of these fishing attackers.

According to the report, Fake Phantom Popups tricks users to reveal seed phrases and contribute to the loss in January. This is consistent with the growing popularity of Solana, which is promoted by an increase in Memoko -in trading activities on the network.
