Security alert sounds again in the cryptocurrency field! On September 27, the wallet with the tail number “e57” suffered a phishing attack, and 12,083 spWETH (worth US$32 million) disappeared! According to CertiK, most of the funds were quickly transferred to a wallet starting with "0x471c" and attempts were made to cover the traces by spreading to four other wallets.
What sparked public opinion was that the stolen wallet was suspected to belong to F2Pool founder Mao Shixing. Although there is no official confirmation yet, it has caused a stir in the industry.
Phishing attacks have intensified recently, with a surge of 215% in August 2024, and total losses exceeding US$66 million! What's more, a single attack caused a huge loss of 55 million US dollars.
At the same time, the notorious Angel Drainer has been upgraded to AngelX, crazily deploying more than 300 phishing DApps within 4 days, targeting well-known projects such as TON and TRX.
Even search engines like DuckDuckGo have suffered, showing fraudulent Etherscan websites, leading to the theft of user funds.
