Crypto Scam: Hackers Drain $55 Million In January
Scammers are targeting popular cryptocurrency projects like Dymension (DYM) and OpenSea, resulting in a surge of phishing attacks and a loss of over $55 million in January alone, according to a report by Web3 security firm Scam Sniffer. The scams often coincide with airdrops and project events, and scammers have created over 11,000 phishing sites to impersonate well-known projects. The majority of thefts occurred on the Ethereum mainnet, but other chains like Arbitrum, BNB, Optimism, and Polygon also experienced significant losses. The report highlights the importance of exercising caution and staying informed in the evolving crypto landscape.
