https://bit.ly/46j0QwT - 🚨 Fraudsters are making around $50,000 a day by creating fake accounts on X (formerly Twitter) that impersonate well-known cryptocurrency scam investigators and blockchain security companies. These accounts lure victims with false alerts about breaches on major cryptocurrency exchange platforms, such as Uniswap and Opensea, and encourage swift action to safeguard digital assets. #CryptoScams #OnlineFraud #DigitalSecurity 💻 The scammers use similar account names to legitimate ones, like creating @zacheryxbt to impersonate @zachxbt. These fake accounts have successfully deceived many, including those with large followings on X, leading to widespread sharing of the fraudulent information. The scale of the campaign is significant, with related hashtags like #UniswapExploit trending in the U.S. #ImpersonationScams #SocialMediaFraud #CybersecurityAwareness 🌐 The operation involves directing users to malicious websites, like 'revoketokens[.]io' or 'revokea[.]sh', where victims are tricked into connecting their wallets under the guise of revoking permissions to prevent asset loss. Instead, the scammers drain funds from these connected wallets, a process that is irreversible. #PhishingAttacks #CryptoWalletSecurity #DigitalAssetProtection ⚠️ Impersonating credible sources in the crypto community is a highly effective deception tactic. Previous instances have seen phishing actors impersonate cybersecurity companies and create fake GitHub accounts resembling cybersecurity researchers. The key precaution is double-checking account authenticity and verifying claims from official sources. Additionally, users are advised to avoid connecting their wallets to dubious platforms and signing unfamiliar smart contracts. #CyberImpersonation #VerifySources #SmartContractSafety 🔐 For those concerned about digital asset security, moving assets to a cold wallet can offer enhanced protection against such hacks and breaches. This step ensures that digital currencies are stored offline, away from the reach of online scammers.
