Crypto Scams on the Rise ⚠️ | Social Engineering Tops 2025’s Biggest Threats

A new report from WhiteBIT warns that social engineering scams have become the most dangerous threat facing the crypto industry in 2025.

Unlike traditional hacks that exploit code, these scams target human psychology, tricking users into revealing private information or transferring funds directly.

WhiteBIT found that nearly 40% of crypto-related security incidents this year were linked to fake investment pitches, phishing links, and impersonation attacks.

Experts say that the rise of AI-powered deepfakes and cloned apps has made it harder than ever for users to tell real from fake, even on verified platforms.

Security analysts urge investors to double-check all communications, avoid clicking links from DMs, and never share private keys or wallet phrases, no matter how convincing the message appears.

As crypto adoption grows, user education and vigilance remain the strongest defenses against evolving scam tactics.

At publishing time, security teams continue to track a spike in scam attempts across both CEX and DeFi ecosystems.
