ChainCatcher news, according to a report by CoinDesk, the latest report from security company Kaspersky shows that a new type of scam targeting cryptocurrency thieves is becoming popular on YouTube. Scammers disguise themselves as novices, intentionally sharing wallet recovery phrases in the comments section, luring others to attempt to steal USDT worth $8,000 from the wallet.

However, these wallets are actually multi-signature wallets, and when the thieves pay TRX as gas fees to attempt a transfer, these TRX are automatically transferred to another wallet controlled by the scammers. Since gas fees on most blockchains are less than $10, this scam primarily targets small-time thieves rather than large-scale operations.
