phishingattack

Saskaņā ar PANews, sarežģīts pikšķerēšanas uzbrukums mērķē uz Cardano lietotājiem, izplatot paziņojumus, kas maskēti kā 'Eternl Desktop' maki. Šī ļaunprātīgā kampaņa cenšas pievilināt lietotājus lejupielādēt MSI failu, kas satur attālinātās kontroles rīkus. Uzbrucēji izsmej oficiālās komunikācijas un atsaucas uz NIGHT un ATMA tokenu stimulu, lai pievilinātu upurus. Viņi izmanto domēnu download.eternldesktop.network, lai izplatītu neparakstītus instalācijas pakotnes. Drošības pētnieki ir identificējuši, ka fails ietver LogMeIn Resolve komponentu, kas ļauj attālinātu komandu izpildi un pastāvīgu sistēmas kontroli. Lietotājiem tiek ieteikts lejupielādēt maka programmatūru tikai no oficiāliem avotiem.

Tron X konta pārkāpums
Tron DAO oficiāli apstiprinājusi, ka tās galvenais X (agrāk Twitter) konts tika kompromitēts vēlu piektdienas vakarā pēc ļoti mērķtiecīgas sociālās inženierijas uzbrukuma pret vienu no tās vecākā komunikācijas personāla.
Paziņojumā, kas tika dalīts agri sestdienas rītā, Tron izskaidroja, ka uzbrucējs izlikās par pārstāvi no ievērojama blokķēdes mediju izdevuma, pārliecinot komandas locekli piešķirt piekļuvi trešās puses plānošanas rīkam. Rīks tika izmantots, lai apietu tiešās platformas pieteikšanās un ievietotu viltotu “TRX jubilejas Airdrop” saiti vairāk nekā 1,2 miljoniem sekotāju.

A wallet drainer operating on The Open Network (TON) blockchain has announced it is ceasing operations due to a lack of large investors (so-called "whales") in the network.
Service Shutdown and User Redirection
On October 7, an announcement was made by the TON-based wallet drainer, stating that it is officially shutting down and recommending its users move to another cryptocurrency draining service. Scam Sniffer, a Web3 platform focused on anti-fraud protection, shared a screenshot of this announcement. The #hackers explained that the lack of large investors in the TON ecosystem was the reason for the shutdown:
"Since TON has no whales and the community is small, we are closing down."
The announcement also urged users to switch to draining #bitcoin☀️ instead of TON, claiming that those who enjoyed draining on TON would "love" draining #BTC☀ as well.
New Focus and Departure from TON ( #Toncoin )
The wallet drainer directed its users to another service and announced that the TON-based draining system would not return. Back in June, some drainers had started focusing more on the TON ecosystem. Raz Niv, co-founder of Blockaid, noted that the amount of value flowing through TON had attracted the attention of more drainers.
Fake Transactions as a Trap for Users
One trick used by TON drainers involved fake transactions of 5,000 USDT. This scam exploited TON’s comment feature, which allows transfers to include custom messages, effectively masking the real purpose of signatures. Users were lured by messages such as "Receive 5,000 USDT" and a "Confirm" button, but once the transaction was signed, the tokens began to be drained.
Losses Due to Phishing
Scam Sniffer reported that similar scams in May resulted in the loss of 22,000 toncoins, which were worth over $150,000 at the time. Additionally, data shows that approximately 10,800 people fell victim to #phishingattack in September, with around $46.6 million in digital assets lost that month. The largest portion of these losses came from a single phishing transaction, which drained over $32 million in cryptocurrencies.
phising attack trick crypto holders into linking their wallets to fraudulent services like drainers, allowing malicious actors to withdraw their victim's funds without further verification.

Kas ir pikšķerēšanas uzbrukums?
Pikšķerēšana izceļas kā viena no visizplatītākajām un izplatītākajām kiberuzbrukumu metodēm. Šis uzbrukuma veids ietilpst sociālās inženierijas uzbrukumu paspārnē, paļaujoties uz psiholoģiskām manipulācijām un cilvēku ievainojamību izmantošanu. Pamatā pikšķerēšanas uzbrukums izvēršas, kad ļaunprātīgs dalībnieks uzņemas uzticamas vienības vai uzņēmuma identitāti, lai maldinātu personas un iegūtu sensitīvu informāciju, tostarp kredītkaršu informāciju, lietotājvārdus un paroles.

🔍 Sīkāka informācija:
Whale 0x0c0 pārsūtīja 193 676 SAVM uz divām adresēm — 0xea5 un 0x406. Iespējams, valis kļuva par pikšķerēšanas uzbrukuma upuri, kā rezultātā visi SAVM tika pārsūtīti uz šīm adresēm.
💸 Peļņa pārvērsta zaudējumā: pēdējo 11 stundu laikā abi uztvērēji SAVM marķierus pārdeva tikai par 437 ETH (892 000 USD). SAVM cena pēdējo 24 stundu laikā kritās par 48,39%.

Atgriežoties 2010. gadā, čīniešu pusaudzis, kura vārds bija Vei Šang, ieguldīja tikai 10 ASV dolārus kaut ko, ko praktiski neviens nesaprata: Bitcoin.
Par mazāku par centu par akciju, šī mazā likme pārvērtās par 99 000 BTC — tagad vērtībā vairāk nekā 11,4 miljardi ASV dolāru.

Taču tad nāca klikšķis, kas iznīcināja visu. 😞

Saskaņā ar analītiķu datiem, kriptovalūtu lietotāji katru gadu zaudē miljardus dolāru krāpnieku darbību dēļ, kuri izmanto izsmalcinātas pikšķerēšanas shēmas.
