How to deal with stolen virtual currency? (II)

2. Fake wallet app phishing and stealing coins

Due to compliance supervision, virtual currency on-chain wallet APPs cannot be listed on major domestic app stores, so some investors often encounter fake APP download links when downloading wallet APPs. This fake APP is no different from the official genuine APP in product functions and usage, but it has a backdoor to obtain the user's wallet private key and mnemonic. When making some small on-chain transfers at ordinary times, assets will not be stolen, so users will not notice it. But when a large amount of virtual assets is transferred to the wallet address, the phishing gang will immediately transfer the assets in the address to complete the theft.

3. On-chain high-risk contract interaction authorization leads to theft

Virtual currency investors often exchange investment experiences and new projects in social software such as TG and WeChat communities. They often encounter project links sent by "enthusiastic" group members. Sometimes, if they are not careful, they will interact with high-risk contract addresses on the chain, causing the other party to obtain the authority of the tokens in the transfer address, and then the virtual currency in the address will be transferred and stolen.

4. Asking others to register an exchange account on your behalf and causing it to be stolen

Virtual currency exchanges often launch welfare activities such as launchpad and staking to earn coins, but due to risk control of the activities, the amount of money that users can participate in will be limited. In order to get more benefits, some users will ask friends around them to register or even buy some overseas KYC accounts to participate in the platform's activities. Because centralized exchanges can reset and retrieve accounts by submitting relevant identity authentication materials, there is a greater risk of theft of account assets registered by others. #DEXX被盗
