The latest data from blockchain firm ScamSniffer shows a 56% decrease in phishing scams in January, with over $10.2 million in crypto stolen from more than 9,000 victims. However, new threats are emerging rapidly, including transaction simulation spoofing and malware attacks. Scammers are targeting users through fake transactions and fake Phantom wallet popups. Additionally, fake accounts are on the rise, and scammers are even taking over reputable accounts to promote bogus tokens. Users are advised to revoke app permissions for non-custodial wallets and contact recovery services if they fall victim to a scam, but to be wary of recovery experts who may be scammers themselves.
