🚨In 2024, cryptocurrency fraud losses reached $3.6 billion, with the "pig butchering" scam at the top
The most rampant cryptocurrency scam this year turned out to be the "pig butchering" scam, with assets worth $3.6 billion already defrauded on the Ethereum chain, making it the number one cryptocurrency scam!
According to Cyvers' security report, over 150,000 addresses and 800,000 transactions are related to this scam, and one can only imagine how much of investors' hard-earned money has been siphoned off, making it extremely frightening!
Fraudsters set traps on dating apps and social media, pretending to be in a romantic relationship, and months later, they coax their victims into investing in their "cryptocurrency" projects. Until the victims become deeply entangled, ultimately pouring in large sums of money.
This report was released after the FBI announced that it expects losses from pig butchering scams to reach $3.96 billion in 2023.
To avoid becoming a victim of the "pig butchering" scam, Cyvers reminds us to stay vigilant, strengthen the security protection of personal wallets, and calls for regulatory authorities to enhance oversight.
Cyber threats have increased by 40% this year, but fortunately, the total losses have decreased by 37% compared to last year. Particularly, Ethereum has become a primary target for scammers, who exploit various vulnerabilities to commit fraud.
Fortunately, with the help of on-chain detectives like ZachXBT and bug bounty programs, we successfully recovered $1.3 billion in losses!
In this year’s quarters, the first quarter had the most incidents, but the heaviest losses were in the third quarter, amounting to $760 million. Among them, DMM Exchange lost $305 million due to private key leakage, while WazirX lost $235 million due to vulnerabilities in multi-signature wallets.
According to Cyvers' report, although access-related security incidents account for only 41.6% of all reported cases, they caused 81% of the total losses. In other words, although these security vulnerabilities are not the most frequent, the financial losses they cause are substantial.
Everyone must be cautious when investing in cryptocurrencies; don't let yourself become the next "slaughtered pig"!

🚨 Young Australians are the new target of cryptocurrency scams, causing at least $122 million in losses in the past year
⚖️ Cryptocurrency scams are becoming a big problem in Australia, and it seems that young people are now the main victims. In the past year, these scams have caused at least $122 million in losses, and most of the victims are young people under the age of 50, which breaks the traditional idea that older people are more likely to be deceived.
🏛️ Data from the Australian Cyber Security Center (ACSC) shows that investment scams caused $269 million in losses in the 2023-24 fiscal year, nearly half of which were related to cryptocurrencies. Assistant Commissioner of the Federal Police Richard Chin pointed out that the methods used by scammers include high-pressure sales tactics and so-called "pig killing" schemes, as well as deep fake technology, all of which are designed to trick victims into making wrong investment decisions.
👮♂️ To meet this challenge, Australian police advise the public to be vigilant and not act rashly because they feel pressure to invest. If an investment opportunity sounds too good to be true, it probably is a scam. In addition, the police are working closely with the banking industry and digital currency exchanges to help victims recover their funds.
🔍 Meanwhile, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is also actively combating these scams. Their collaboration with the National Anti-Scam Centre (NASC) has successfully reduced fraud losses from $1.5 billion in 2022 to $1.3 billion in 2023, and ASIC has played an important role in identifying and shutting down fraudulent investment websites.
💡 The ACSC also reminds the public that if you suspect you have encountered a scam, remember to report it to your financial institution or digital currency exchange in a timely manner, and you can report it to the authorities through cyber.gov.au. While seeking independent financial advice, do not trust investment opportunities that sound like high returns.
💬 What do you think about young Australians becoming the main target of cryptocurrency scams? What strategies do you have to prevent scams in cryptocurrency investment? Let us be vigilant together and protect the safety of our funds together!
