Scam Sniffer: Crypto Scams on X Nearly Double, Affecting Over 300 Accounts Daily
A Sharp Rise in Fake Accounts
Crypto scams on the social platform X (formerly Twitter) are gaining momentum once again. According to analysts from blockchain firm Scam Sniffer, the number of accounts impersonating others has surged by 87%, exceeding 300 daily, a significant jump from the November average of 160 accounts.
Millions Lost to Fraudulent Schemes
Scammers exploit high-profile accounts to promote fake tokens, resulting in massive financial losses. In one recent incident, two victims lost over $3 million worth of cryptocurrency after interacting with malicious links and signing transactions tied to fake accounts.
The Solana blockchain has been particularly affected, with compromised accounts, including those of major entities like Yahoo News UK, Lenovo India, and Money Control, being used to promote a fraudulent meme coin called HACKED.
ZachXBT Warns About Dangerous Links
Blockchain investigator ZachXBT, who actively tracks these scams, has issued a warning to the crypto community, urging heightened caution. He noted that while scammers have earned less this time (the HACKED token's market cap reached only $67,000), the potential harm to users remains significant.
ZachXBT also discovered that the compromised accounts were linked to the same malicious website or app. As a precaution, he advises users to immediately revoke access permissions to any unfamiliar websites or applications.
Scams Target High-Profile Individuals
This incident is just one of many. Recently, the account of football star Kylian Mbappé was exploited to promote a fake meme coin named MBAPPE. Similarly, in early September, hackers targeted accounts of family members of newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump in a scam involving a fake coin called World Liberty Financial.
Conclusion: Caution Is Key
Scams on the X platform pose a serious risk to the crypto community. Users should remain vigilant, regularly review account permissions, and avoid suspicious links or transactions. This trend highlights how sophisticated and dangerous social media scams have become.

Hackers Recovered $3 Million Worth Wallet Password.đ
In a fascinating turn of events that could easily be part of a Hollywood movie script, a bitcoin owner found themselves locked out of their wallet containing a substantial 43.6 BTC, worth just under $3 million. The plot thickened as the owner sought help from none other than a renowned hacker named Joe Grand, also known as Kingpin in the hacking community.
The intriguing saga, first brought to light by Kim Zetter for Wired, unfolded when the wallet owner, known only as Michael, reached out to Joe Grand in 2022. Joe Grand has gained notoriety for his knack for recovering lost bitcoin from inaccessible wallets. While Grand typically declines such requests due to his primary role as a consultant helping developers secure their systems, the intricate circumstances of Michael's case caught his attention.
The issue was a complex password generated using the RoboForm password manager, encrypted with TrueCrypt. However, a twist of fate led to the encrypted password file getting corrupted with no backup in place. Michael's reluctance to store the password in RoboForm for fear of potential hacking ironically contributed to the predicament.
After meticulous months of work, Grand and his team unearthed a security flaw in an outdated version of RoboForm's password generation mechanism. By exploiting this flaw, they were able to narrow down the search to the password generated on May 15, 2013.
Despite challenges and dead ends, perseverance paid off, leading to the successful recovery of the password. The revelation sparked a significant moment for Michael, allowing access to his bitcoin reserves. Subsequently, Michael cashed out some of the bitcoin, leaving him with 30 BTC to potentially capitalize on the cryptocurrency market's fluctuations.
The tale emphasizes the importance of secure password management and highlights the remarkable skill set of individuals like Joe.

đšHacker Returns $20 Million Stolen from U.S. Government Crypto Walletâ$1.2 Million Still Goneđ
In a baffling twist, most of the $20 million drained from a U.S. government-controlled crypto wallet was returned early Friday, adding intrigue to what blockchain analysts have flagged as a suspicious, high-profile theft. The drained funds, originally seized by the U.S. Department of Justice two years ago in connection with the 2016 Bitfinex hack, were mostly sent back to the wallet, according to on-chain data from Arkham Intelligence.
Around $19.3 million in Ethereum and USDC were returned, leaving roughly $1.2 million still missing. The funds had been moved across decentralized finance platforms, engaging instant exchanges, in what appeared to be an orchestrated series of transfers. Blockchain sleuth ZachXBT had noted the transaction pattern resembled that of a bad actor.
Shortly after the returned funds arrived, more funds began flowing to a new wallet, raising further questions about the intent behind the transfers. The governmentâs use of decentralized platforms such as Aave, and test transfers of small amounts of crypto, drew attention to the evolving tactics in handling large-scale crypto assets.
Blockchain analytics firm Global Ledger reported that stablecoins were swapped for Ethereum through decentralized exchanges like Uniswap and aggregator 1inch, with Ethereum sent to various deposit addresses, including those linked to Binance. These moves echo past warnings about the risks of nested exchanges, often favored by cybercriminals for their lack of security.
As of now, the U.S. governmentâs crypto wallet is still short $1.2 million, with the case continuing to raise eyebrows across the crypto community.

Crypto Mailing Vendors List Was Hacked; CEO of Tether Warns
[Due to a serious security breach, a prominent vendor that maintained email lists for cryptocurrency companies was hacked, which resulted in the dissemination of phony emails promising airdrops.]
It has been verified that a significant vendor in charge of email lists for different cryptocurrency organizations has been compromised, which is a worrying development for the bitcoin ecosystem. Sensitive information may have been compromised by this incident, which could have sparked a surge of phony emails offering cryptocurrency airdrops. Because unscrupulous actors may use the exposed data to trick consumers and spread frauds, the hack poses a serious danger to the security and confidence of the cryptocurrency sector.
[The CEO of Tether's Reaction and Suggestions]
The CEO of Tether, Paolo Ardoino, commented on the situation, stating that they have heard from two separate sources indicating that a well-known vendor that cryptocurrency companies employ to maintain their mailing lists may have been compromised. Ardoino warned the community to be very wary of such cryptocurrency scams, but he declined to name the vendor until the inquiry was over.
Ardoino said, "Please be cautious of any emails suggesting crypto-airdrops received since 24 hours ago." He stressed the significance of closely examining any unsolicited emails and cautioned against opening attachments or clicking on links from unidentified senders. The management of Tether is pushing for stricter security measures throughout the sector and is acting proactively to reduce the risks this incident poses.
[Greater Effect and Preventive Actions]
Bobby Ong, co-founder of CoinGecko, provided more information on the issue, confirming that an email newsletter provider is in fact the target of an ongoing supply chain email breach assault. These bogus email blasts touting fictitious token launches might have an impact on a number of cryptocurrency firms.

BingX Exchange Faces Potential Attack: Over $27M in Crypto Stolen!
In a possible security breach, alleged attackers have drained over $27 million in various crypto assets from BingX Exchange in just the past four hours.
The stolen funds are being swapped for Ethereum (ETH) through several suspicious wallet addresses:
Address 1: 0xf7e8033366166f92eb477b7b38e0d47d47b43326
Address 2: 0x940362b46faf7df48af1c8989d809f50466b5fca

Address 5: 0xf26e64ef4300ca027d2ffedd7d765d7a3906091c
The suspected attackerâs wallets currently hold 7,225 ETH ($17.71M) and 11,467 BNB ($6.44M). In response, BingX has placed its wallet system under temporary maintenance, suspending withdrawals and related services.
Official Response from BingX:
At 4 AM (SGT) on September 20, the BingX team detected suspicious activity in their hot wallet, indicating a possible hack. They swiftly transferred assets and paused withdrawals to mitigate the impact. The exchange reports minimal losses, assuring users that the majority of assets remain safe in cold wallets, with only a small portion affected.
To ensure the security of user funds, BingX has extended recharge and withdrawal processing times and promises to resolve the situation within 24 hours. The exchange appreciates users' patience during this time.

Crypto Scammers Target Indians Using Fake BBC News
Scammers have set their sights on Indian citizens through a fake BBC article with a clickbait headline about billionaire Anant Ambani. This scam aims to lure victims into crypto investments.
Fake BBC Article Uses a Famous Face to Attract Victims
Scammers are trying to reach Indians with a sophisticated scheme pretending to be a BBC News article. The fake report claims that Anant Ambani, a prominent Indian businessman, has endorsed a lucrative crypto platform that supposedly turns small investments into millions within a few months.
Scam Ad Looks Like a Real BBC News Article
At first glance, the post on X appears to be a genuine advertisement for a BBC article, featuring the BBC logo, title, and design similar to a news website. However, clicking the link redirects users to the domain "nguyenhm.com" instead of the real BBC website, and all functional links lead to a suspicious crypto platform instead of news sections.
Fake Interview with Ambani Promises Quick Riches
The scam article includes a fabricated interview with Anant Ambani, in which he reportedly makes controversial statements about poverty and emphasizes how people can make money by investing in crypto. It claims that the Everix Edge platform can turn 26,000 Indian rupees (around $30) into a million within 3â4 months.
Fake Platform Promises High Returns Using False Testimonials
Everix Edge is presented as an advanced investment platform using blockchain and artificial intelligence. It falsely claims to exploit price differences on exchanges like Coinbase and Binance. To boost credibility, the scammers use fake testimonials from well-known personalities.
Scammers Collect Personal Data to Steal Money
Users are encouraged to register with personal information, including their name, address, email, and phone number, which gives scammers the details they need to defraud victims further.
Scam Continues Despite Indian Authoritiesâ Interventions
This scam has been circulating for some time. Similar articles impersonating the BBC were spotted as early as May 2024. Indian authorities ordered the removal of these fraudulent posts, but scammers simply switched domains and carried on.
Similar Scams Using Fake Celebrity News Are Not New
Crypto scammers have used similar fake articles in the past, featuring celebrities like Kate Winslet and Elon Musk to lure victims into their schemes.
