On an ordinary Thursday evening, thousands of crypto users did what they always do, visit CoinMarketCap to check token prices, track trends, and explore new projects. Everything seemed fine. The homepage loaded normally, complete with its signature doodle graphic at the top.But hidden behind that seemingly harmless doodle… was a trap.A highly targeted, well-executed supply-chain attack was underway, and most visitors had no idea.🎭 A Familiar Prompt, A Dangerous IllusionAs users scrolled the CoinMarketCap homepage, something popped up:“Connect your Wallet to Continue.”It looked legitimate. A clean interface mimicking WalletConnect.Many users, conditioned by countless previous wallet interactions, didn’t think twice.They clicked.Within seconds, wallets were drained.SOL, XRP, obscure meme tokens, and more, gone.🔍 Unmasking the AttackThis wasn’t a server breach. There were no leaks, no brute-force logins, and no malware downloads.Instead, the attackers found a smarter way in, through the frontend.They exploited a third-party image API used by CoinMarketCap to load its doodle. That API was silently compromised. When CoinMarketCap called it, it returned not just the image… but also malicious JavaScript code.That code injected the fake wallet prompt right into the homepage, all within the browser.Users never left the site. But their crypto left their wallets.💸 The AftermathWithin 24 hours:• 110+ wallets were compromised• At least $43,000 in funds were stolen• Tokens included $SOL, $XRP, $EVT, $PENGU, $SHDW, and others• The attacker used a tool known as Inferno Drainer, a wallet-draining-as-a-service platform growing in popularityThis wasn’t the first time Inferno Drainer was seen in action. But using CoinMarketCap’s trusted brand and homepage as the delivery vector? That was bold.And most importantly:The funds were traced to the drainer wallet:• 0x8a2983f358a03c6DB9c47a70e944368D4De77820• 0x030703e1EB18355a794F3f034Fe63959F8640D33This address received tokens from victims across multiple chains. You can see the wallet’s on-chain activity, including token swaps and consolidation behavior — classic drainer operation.Other IOCs involved• 0x000037bB05B2CeF17c6469f4BcDb198826Ce0000• 0x0000553F880fFA3728b290e04E819053A3590000• www.cdnkit[.]io• https://static.cdnkit[.]io• blockassets[.]app🛡️ CoinMarketCap’s ResponseTo their credit, CoinMarketCap reacted quickly:• ✅ The fake pop-up was immediately removed• 🔧 The third-party API was patched• 🛑 No backend servers or databases were breached• 🤝 Most importantly, CoinMarketCap committed to reimbursing affected usersThey also stated they are reinforcing internal controls and reviewing all external integrations.🧠 Lessons LearnedThis wasn’t a smart contract exploit.It was an exploit of trust, using a familiar interface, a trusted website, and user habits as the entry point.The most dangerous scams aren’t always flashy. This one worked because it looked normal.Even trusted platforms like CoinMarketCap can be used as vectors in supply-chain attacks.✅ How to Protect Yourself Going ForwardHere’s what you can do right now to reduce your risk:1. Don’t approve wallet prompts you didn’t expect.2. Review token approvals regularly with tools like Revoke.cash.3. Use browser extensions that detect wallet drainers (e.g., Wallet Guard, Scam Sniffer).4. Bookmark official dApps and avoid interacting with wallet pop-ups on informational sites.5. Always double-check transactions before signing.🧵 Final ThoughtsThe CoinMarketCap incident wasn’t the biggest crypto exploit by dollar amount—but it was one of the most deceptive.It showed us how fragile the frontend trust layer can be in Web3.As users and builders, we must recognize that security isn’t just about smart contracts. It’s about interfaces. Dependencies. And habits.The drainer wallet may be just one address.But the lesson it leaves behind affects millions.Stay sharp.Stay sovereign.And never blindly click "Connect Wallet."If this helped you or your community, consider sharing it to raise awareness. Security is a shared responsibility in Web3.#CoinMarketCap #Web3Security #WalletDrainer #CryptoScams #InfernoDrainer #Phishing #CryptoNews
On June 18th 2025, Iranian Exchange Nobitex was drained of over 100 million USD of assets including ETH, BSC, POL, AVAX, ARB, BTC, TRX among others. These are some facts obtained from blockchain analysis.1. The incident started with unauthorized access of Nobitex controlled wallets, which were drained and burned to the following vanity addresses. - TKFuckiRGCTerroristsNoBiTEXy2r7mNX - 0xffFFfFFffFFffFfFffFFfFfFfFFFFfFfFFFFDead - 1FuckiRGCTerroristsNoBiTEXXXaAovLX - DFuckiRGCTerroristsNoBiTEXXXWLW65t2. The reason why 100 million USD is as good as lost assets, is because in order to spend the assets from the above 4 vanity addresses, it would require the knowledge of it's private key and its calculation would requires years of brute force computation.Figure 1: Nobitex Compromised Wallets drained of ETHFigure 2: Nobitex Potentially Implementing Safety Procedure3. Using our proprietary tool CATV, that feeds from blockchain data, we are able to derive insights into the actions of the hacking group, and subsequent response from the Iranian Exchange. For instance, 262 ETH was burned from 2 compromised Nobitex wallets, and within a few hours Nobitex managed to restore approximately 6 ETH from the compromised wallets, and moved close to 10,000 ETH from its hot wallet to a potentially new wallet as safetymeasure. This was observed across other tokens and EVM chains too.Figure 3: More than 2000 Compromised Wallets drainedFigure 4: Nobitex Potentially Implementing Safety Procedure4. Similarly, more than 2,000 compromised Bitcoin addresses containing small amounts of BTC were drained a total of approximately 18 BTC. Similar to EVM chain, we saw that around 1800 BTC were moved by Nobitex to a new address potentially as part of its safety procedure.Figure 5: Zero Value Transactions from Vanity Address to VASPs.Figure 6: TransferFrom() function invoked5. Maximum losses were incurred from TRON blockchain, where more than 100,000 compromised wallets were drained, where each wallet held small USDT balances. The most interesting aspect from TRON is that on 20th June 2025, we observed attempts to withdraw funds from the vanity address using Tron's bonk Token TransferFrom() function. While TransferFrom allows another wallet to spend the vanity wallet's funds upon obtaining approval from the vanity address, in this case 0 value transactions were requested by another wallet to make it seem like funds were transferred to several exchanges. However, real spending from the vanity address would need its private key.
Mail scam are not send by randomly, but your mail actualy already sign up at several sites/airdrop/giveaway etc.This is my dump email for sign up and many thing not personal mail.

Web3 Scam Trends: What Thousands of Community Reports Reveal — And How to Stay SafeAs Web3 grows, so do the scams. Phishing links, fake dApps, and wallet-draining contracts are more sophisticated than ever. But thanks to the ChainBounty community, we now have a clearer picture of what to watch for.Based on hundreds of real user reports submitted at ChainBounty, here are the most common scam types — and how to protect yourself.1. Fake dApps & Clone SitesWhat happens:Scammers copy real platforms like Uniswap, Blur, or MetaMask and host fake versions under misleading domains. Once users connect their wallets, the fake dApp initiates unauthorized transactions.How to stay safe:Always check the domain name carefully.Bookmark official sites.Use browser plugins like ChainBounty Alerts (coming soon) to auto-flag risky domains.Report suspicious URLs at ChainBounty Threats.2. “Claim Now” Phishing LinksWhat happens:Users are tricked into clicking “claim reward” buttons for fake airdrops. The links usually trigger hidden approve() functions that give attackers access to your wallet.How to stay safe:Don’t click reward links from DMs, replies, or unknown sources.Review every transaction and check the “permissions” granted.Use a burner wallet for experimental dApps or airdrops.3. Fake Airdrops & Drainer TokensWhat happens:Scam tokens show up in wallets, directing users to “claim” more via malicious sites. These often initiate stealthy contract calls to drain funds.How to stay safe:Don’t interact with unknown tokens suddenly appearing in your wallet.Never sign a transaction you don’t understand.Search token contracts on ScamHunter to check for risks before engaging.4. Wallet Draining via Message SignatureWhat happens:Victims sign a message (not a transaction), unknowingly allowing attackers future control over assets via permit() or gasless execution.How to stay safe:Don’t sign messages from dApps you don’t fully trust.Be cautious of “Login to claim reward” or “verify account” requests.Use wallets like Rabby or WalletGuard that warn about suspicious signatures.💡Track it on BountyTrackWhile message signatures themselves are not stored on-chain, BountyTrack can help detect the aftermath — such as abnormal withdrawals or contract calls initiated through signature-based attacks.By analyzing wallet behavior patterns and their interactions with related dApps, users can trace, report, and block suspicious actors before more damage is done.5. Hacked Verified AccountsWhat happens:Even verified Twitter/X accounts — influencers, projects, or DAOs — can get hacked. Scammers then share malicious links under trusted handles.How to stay safe:Don’t trust posts solely based on blue checkmarks.Always double-check URLs.Check replies — often users will flag suspicious behavior.Report phishing attempts to ChainBounty.Why This MattersEvery scam report submitted on ChainBounty is verified by the community and stored in the Threat Reputation Database (TRDB) — an on-chain intelligence source powering alerts and protections across Web3.By participating, users are rewarded.By sharing, you help prevent the next attack.By connecting TRDB with dApps and wallets, phishing can be blocked before it strikes.Get InvolvedIf you’ve encountered a phishing link, fake dApp, or suspicious token:🔗 Submit a report hereHelp make Web3 safer — for you and for everyone else.The more we share, the stronger the defense.

The Rise of Fake Airdrops: How Scammers Exploit Greed in Web3
Airdrops were once seen as the ultimate expression of Web3’s open ethos — free rewards for early believers, viral marketing without ad budgets, and a fairer way to grow a user base. But that golden era is fading fast.Today, airdrops have become one of the most exploited forms of scams in crypto. No advanced hacking is required, just a clean landing page, a fake domain, and a tweet from a compromised influencer account. One click to connect a wallet, and users watch their funds vanish in seconds.Scammers no longer need to break blockchains or bypass audits. They just need to prey on one weakness: human greed and haste.II. Some Cases of Fake Airdrop Scams in Web31. Ethereum Events Airdrop ScamIn January 2025, users fell victim to a highly convincing fake website branded as the “Ethereum Events Airdrop.” The site, designed with Ethereum Foundation logos and a polished UI, promised rewards of $5,000 to $50,000 in ETH for those who connected their wallets via MetaMask or WalletConnect.Once users signed the wallet connection, the site executed malicious transactions draining tokens or ETH, exploiting the approved permissions. This is a classic phishing smart contract — users willingly signed transactions without realizing they were authorizing fund transfers. Dozens of users lost their entire wallet balances.2. Hacked Influencer Accounts Promoting Fake AirdropsOne of the most effective scam vectors today is taking over verified influencer accounts. In October 2024, the X account of well-known influencer @AndyAyrey was compromised. The hacker used the account to promote a fake Solana airdrop and invited followers to join a Telegram group with promises that “tokens will be sent in 10–15 minutes.”The urgency, paired with the influencer’s credibility, triggered massive FOMO. Users shared wallet addresses or clicked malicious links, many ended up drained.Security firm PeckShield quickly issued alerts about the scam.3. XRP Giveaway Scam Impersonating Brad GarlinghouseScammers ran a large-scale campaign impersonating Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse. Using AI-generated voice and video clips from real interviews, they promoted a fake “XRP Airdrop” that required users to send between 1,000–10,000 XRP to a wallet address to “double their tokens.”The scam circulated on YouTube and Twitter under headlines like “Ripple XRP Special Giveaway — Celebrating Growth 2024.”Reported losses: Hundreds of thousands of dollars in XRP. Ripple later issued a formal warning.4. Wallet Drainer Airdrop — Multi-Chain Phishing AttacksIn January 2024, Scam Sniffer uncovered a sophisticated multi-chain phishing campaign targeting Ethereum, Solana, and Tron communities. Attackers created fake airdrop claim pages, prompting users to connect their wallets.Once connected, malicious scripts executed transactions across multiple chains, draining assets regardless of the blockchain — ETH, SOL, TRX alike.What’s worse: scammers used compromised X accounts of trusted community figures to add legitimacy. This marked a significant escalation from past wallet drainer attacks, which were largely confined to Ethereum.III. Why Are These Scams Still So Effective?1. FOMO and Greed Are Easy to ExploitThe fear of missing out is deeply rooted in crypto culture. When users see others posting about airdrop wins or countdown timers suggesting limited availability, they rush to participate without due diligence. In a space where being early often means profit, hesitation feels like loss.2. Scams Are More Sophisticated Than EverGone are the days of obvious red flags. Today’s fake sites feature sleek UIs, cloned contracts on Etherscan, well-designed branding, and near-identical domain names.Moreover, hijacking KOL accounts has become a dangerous trend — people tend to trust familiar faces. When a known influencer promotes a “limited airdrop,” followers rarely question its legitimacy.3. Lack of On-Chain LiteracyMany users don’t realize that signing a transaction could mean approving a contract to access all their tokens.Scammers exploit this by hiding malicious calls under the guise of “claim” buttons. Users think they’re confirming receipt — but are actually handing over the keys to their assets.IV. ChainBounty: The Community’s CounterattackIn the face of smarter scams, ChainBounty emerges as a powerful defense tool built for Web3 users.ChainBounty is a community-driven intelligence network that helps detect and report malicious activities, fake airdrops, and wallet drainers before they go viral. Rather than relying solely on audits or centralized security services, ChainBounty taps into the collective knowledge of on-chain analysts, developers and everyday users.On the platform, users can:Report suspicious transactions, contracts, or scam links they encounterSubmit detailed incident breakdowns or threat analysesEarn rewards for verified reports and contributionsChainBounty turns users into defenders of Web3 security. By creating a decentralized “threat radar”, it empowers the community to fight scams with speed, transparency, and scale.V. Conclusion — Stay Curious, Not CarelessScammers are evolving and so must we. Staying safe means more than just using a hardware wallet. It means learning how to spot phishing contracts, checking domain names, verifying sources, and using tools like ChainBounty to stay one step ahead.Crypto remains full of opportunity. But like any frontier, survival belongs to the cautious, not the careless.
