‘Pharma Bro’ Martin Shkreli: ‘I started using Uniswap in prison’

Classic scams on the cryptocurrency market that investors need to beware of

Crypto data websites Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse and others reported incidents of a malicious pop-up prompting users to connect their MetaMask wallets.

🚨 We’ve received reports of phishing popups via a 3rd party integration and are currently investigating.

Please be careful not to confirm any transactions that pop up on the website.

— The Etherscan (@etherscan) May 13, 2022

On May 14, many popular crypto statistics websites simultaneously warned users that their platforms were being attacked by phishing, advising users not to click on strange links displayed.

The phishing attack appears to be coming from a domain with the Bored Ape Yacht Club logo on it. The site associated with the domain looked to be down as of press time. A WHOIS lookup revealed that the domain was registered at about 3 p.m. ET.

“We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix it as soon as possible,” CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong said.

“The situation is most likely caused by a malicious ad script by Coinzilla, a crypto ad network – we have disabled it now,” said Ong. “We are monitoring the situation further.” CoinGecko had a tweet to announce:

Security Alert: If you are on the CoinGecko website and you are being prompted by your Metamask to connect to this site, this is a SCAM. Don't connect it. We are investigating the root cause of this issue. pic.twitter.com/7vPfTAjtiU

— CoinGecko (@coingecko) May 13, 2022

Dextools, another popular crypto tracking website, was also affected and claimed the vulnerability came from a cryptocurrency advertising platform called Coinzilla.

We are disabling all ads until the situation is clarified by @adsbycoinzilla . Please be aware and don't sign suspicious requests at your wallet. DEXTools does not automatically request any permissions. 🚨🚨 https://t.co/gC7Oebkj0R

— DEXTools (@DEXToolsApp) May 13, 2022

CoinGecko later also confirmed the vulnerability came from Coinzilla’s side.

Phishing attacks are methods of impersonating large cryptocurrency projects, asking gullible users to provide sensitive information such as email addresses, wallet addresses, and private keys in exchange for some kind of reward. However, after the user submits the information, the hacker will quickly use it to extract money from the user’s wallet.

Etherscan, CoinGecko suffer from phishing attack – Users need to be careful
Phishing attack method is very popular in crypto world

This attack method is becoming popular in recent times, when a large number of new crypto users appear in the NFT wave, not fully grasping the dangers lurking in the process of using crypto-wallets. The NFT Bored Ape Yacht Club project in recent times has been repeatedly hacked into Discord, Instagram, and faked websites to call gullible users to send NFTs to fake websites to receive new APE or NFT tokens, only to lose white your investment.
