👉👉👉 #PhishingScams Targeted Decrypt Newsletter Subscribers—Here’s the Latest
In the early hours of March 27, #hackers posing as Decrypt sent an email to our newsletter subscribers announcing a fabricated token airdrop. Upon discovering the phishing attempt, we promptly sent a follow-up email to alert our readers of the scam.
Regrettably, in our urgency to caution our subscribers and due to a previous phishing incident in January, we mistakenly attributed fault to our email service provider, MailerLite, for this attack. However, it has since been clarified that the hackers obtained our password key from Decrypt's end—MailerLite bears no responsibility.
“Due to security measures, MailerLite does not retain API key information, making it inaccessible in MailerLite’s admin panel or the account in general,” explained a MailerLite spokesperson today. “As a result, despite Decrypt Media's account being affected during the data breach on January 23, 2024, perpetrators were unable to access API keys that could facilitate the sending of phishing campaigns on March 27, 2024.”
We extend our sincere apologies to MailerLite for our hasty misjudgment.
We'll cooperate with law enforcement as we investigate. MailerLite reported that the phishing campaigns originated from IP address "69.4.234.86" and used user agent "python-requests/2.31.0" via their API. The intruders removed addresses ending in decrypt.co or decryptmedia.com from our list to evade detection before sending the fraudulent emails.
While most readers remain vigilant against phishing attempts, one individual tried to connect their wallet to a bogus address. Even one instance is concerning. #CryptoScams are rampant and sophisticated. Decrypt, like other crypto entities, has been impersonated. Hackers create fake websites, Discord servers, and social media accounts impersonating our team. Note that we only operate under decrypt.co and decryptmedia.com domains—be cautious of other domains!

👉👉👉 #PhishingScams thefts on Base are up 1900% from January — #scam Sniffer
Phishing scams on Ethereum #Layer2 platform Base have skyrocketed nearly 1900% since January, coinciding with a significant rise in total value locked on the network.
Recent data reveals that Base experienced an 18-fold increase in cryptocurrency funds lost to phishing scams in March compared to January figures. According to blockchain anti-scam platform Scam Sniffer, approximately $3.35 million was pilfered from victims of phishing scams on Base in March alone.
This surge represents a substantial 334% month-on-month jump from February, which saw losses of $773,900, and an astounding 1,880% spike from January's $169,000 losses, as reported by monthly Dune Analytics data compiled by Scam Sniffer.
Notably, Binance's BNB Chain also witnessed a similar surge in phishing scams during March, according to Scam Sniffer. Across all chains, approximately $71.5 million was lost to phishing scammers from 77,529 victims in March, surpassing January and February tallies of $58.3 million and $46.8 million, respectively.
Scam Sniffer highlighted fake X accounts as a prevalent tactic, detecting over 1,500 incidents in March alone. This rise in Base phishing scams coincides with a surge in memecoin activity on the platform, propelling Base's total value locked to over $3.2 billion, marking a 370% increase in 2024 so far, according to L2BEAT.
Despite the increase in phishing scams, crypto hack thefts decreased by 48% to $187.2 million in March, as reported by blockchain security firm PeckShield.

Navigating the Crypto Landscape: Beware of Scams on Binance and Beyond
Cryptocurrencies have gained immense popularity, offering new and exciting opportunities for investors. However, with the rise in popularity comes an increase in scams and fraudulent activities. Binance, being a leading cryptocurrency exchange, is not immune to these challenges. Let's explore some common scams, misleading information, and ways to protect yourself in the ever-evolving world of crypto.
1. #PhishingScams :
Phishing remains a prevalent threat in the crypto space. Scammers often create fake websites that mimic legitimate platforms like Binance to trick users into providing their login credentials. Always double-check the website's URL and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to enhance security.
2. Impersonation and Social Engineering:
Scammers may impersonate Binance support or influential figures in the crypto community, reaching out to users through social media or email. Be cautious of unsolicited messages and always verify the identity of the person or entity before sharing sensitive information.
3. #pumpanddump Schemes:
In pump and dump schemes, organizers artificially inflate the price of a cryptocurrency through false or misleading information, only to sell off their holdings at the peak, leaving other investors with losses. Exercise caution and thoroughly research any investment opportunities.
4. Fake #ICOSCAM and Token Sales:
Some scammers create fake Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) or token sales, enticing investors with promises of high returns. Always research the legitimacy of a project, review the whitepaper, and verify the credentials of the team behind it.
5. #ponzischeme :
Ponzi schemes promise high returns to initial investors using the capital from new investors. These schemes are unsustainable and often collapse, resulting in significant losses. Be wary of investment opportunities that seem too good to be true.
