Private Key Leaks Top the List According to SlowMist , the second quarter of 2024 saw a troubling increase in security incidents. During this time, users reported 467 cases of stolen funds, including 321 from Chinese sources and 146 from other countries.

The most common cause of crypto theft is the mishandling of private keys. Despite warnings, many people store their private keys in Google• Коммуникации » Интернет-коммуникации » Интернет-сообщество » Социальные сети » Google+ Drive and other cloud services. Some even send this data to friends through social networks• Коммуникации » Интернет-коммуникации » Интернет-сообщество » Социальные сети and messengers. Hackers use credential stuffing attacks to log into these cloud services and steal private keys.

These apps often replicate legitimate software exactly, tricking users into entering private keys and directly transmitting them to attackers. Despite being an old issue, many users still inadvertently click on ads while using search engines and download fake wallet apps. Many users choose to download applications from third-party sites due to network reasons. Although these sites claim that their apps are mirrored from Google Play, their actual security is questionable, read the report. Phishing also remains a major cause of theft in the crypto industry. According to SlowMist, about 80% of the first comments under tweets from prominent project accounts are occupied by scam accounts .

Attackers can select profiles based on the number of followers and registration date. Most of the pages being sold are related to the crypto industry and crypto influencers. Experts also noted that some websites sell fake X accounts. For example, a fake account named Optimlzm can look almost identical to the real account Optimism . After purchasing the highly similar account, phishing groups use promotion tools to boost the account’s interactions and follower count, thereby increasing its credibility, SlowMist experts noted. Honeypot Promises Mislead Crypto Users Sponsored Sponsored The third threat identified by SlowMist is the honeypot scam. In this scheme, fraudsters create tokens that seem promising and offer high returns, but these tokens are programmed to be unsellable. This type of scam is particularly rampant on decentralized exchanges like PancakeSwap . “I asked a question in a Telegram group• Объект организация » Организации по алфавиту » Организации на Te » Telegram Group Inc., and someone enthusiastically answered and taught me a lot. They suggested I invest in a new token in the primary market and provided me with a contract address on PancakeSwap . After I bought it, the token’s value kept rising. They told me it was a once-in-six-months golden opportunity and urged me to invest more. When I asked others in the group to help investigate, I discovered it was indeed a honeypot token. I could buy but not sell it,” one victim shared with SlowMist. Read more: Top 9 Safest Crypto Exchanges in 2024 Sponsored Sponsored Honeypot Token Contract.
