Phishing Alert: Nansen users are under threat from a recent email scam.
Beware Links: These emails include suspicious links to unfamiliar websites, posing potential risks like data theft or malware.
Preventive Measure: Nansen strongly advises users to delete such emails immediately and avoid clicking on any provided links.
According to recent reports, users of the popular crypto analytics platform Nansen have fallen prey to a new phishing scam.
Victims received unsolicited emails from an entity claiming to be Nansen, inviting them to participate in an apparent airdrop, an obvious ruse.
Scam Emails Flood Inboxes @officer_cia, a crypto threat researcher, highlighted the scam, noting the influx of emails starting on Thursday, November 23.
These deceptive emails promised a fictitious "Nansen Airdrop" to supposedly reward loyal users, redirecting recipients to an unknown website upon clicking the link provided.
The intent behind these phishing attempts was likely to inject malware into victims’ devices or obtain sensitive information such as passwords, wallet addresses, or private keys.
The emails were fraudulently sent from "mail@networkforgood.com," an entity unaffiliated with Nansen.
Nansen’s Response While Nansen hasn't officially responded, the analytics firm advised users via Twitter to delete these emails promptly, avoid clicking unknown links, and report such phishing attempts to anti-scam databases.
They further emphasized that Nansen doesn't possess a native token and has no plans for airdrops.
Other Crypto “Scams” Ripple through November Nansen isn't the sole target; TrueCoin and FTX bankruptcy claims experienced similar data leaks used in phishing schemes.
An altercation between Friend.tech and The Block arose after the latter falsely reported a hack of Friend.tech’s user database, prompting discussions around responsible reporting in the crypto space.
This surge in hacks and "hack reports" underscores the critical need for heightened safety measures, particularly within the crypto realm.
