A fraudulent platform called "Four.meme" disguised as a popular memecoin launchpad has risen to the top of Google search results in a phishing campaign. The phishing attack targeted users of the Binance Smartchain Network and used Google ads to trick unsuspecting victims into engaging with the malicious clone website. This incident comes after the launchpad was previously exploited, resulting in the theft of over $183,000 in assets. Phishing attacks and other crypto-related cybercrimes are on the rise, with high-profile hacks and scams causing significant financial losses and reputational damage. The impact of these attacks goes beyond immediate financial loss, disrupting businesses and undermining confidence in the market. Phishing attempts using prominent figures' images, such as Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong and BBC broadcaster Nick Robinson, have also been reported. Argentine President Javier Milei's involvement in the launch of the $LIBRA memecoin faced scrutiny after its value crashed, leading to substantial losses for investors and accusations of a "rug pull" scam.
