Ripple CEO Claims No Wallets Compromised in Recent Cyberattack💁 Earlier today, Ripple experienced a significant cyberattack resulting in the loss of 112.5 million dollars' worth of XRP coins. Following the incident, the news caused a 4% decrease in the price of XRP tokens. ZachXBT stated that the initial attack was linked to an address labeled "rJNLz3…ojm". Following the Ripple attack, the perpetrators initiated a sophisticated laundering process, transferring the stolen XRP to various exchanges, including MEXC and Binance, the world's largest exchange by volume. These distribution methods are designed to conceal the cryptocurrency's origin, making tracking and recovery more challenging. Cautionary Notice Released😳 It is clear that hackers are continually developing new tactics for their illicit operations. Recently, a deepfake video depicting Ripple's CEO sent shockwaves throughout the cryptocurrency market. Hackers utilized a fabricated video, which did not feature Garlinghouse but was created to deceive viewers, in order to trick people into sending funds to their addresses under the false pretense that their XRP holdings would be doubled. Deceptive schemes are advancing regularly, and it would be prudent for investors and traders to exercise vigilance in light of these developments.$BTC $XRP $SOL #xrp #BTC #hackers #scams #TradeNTell

Russian Central Bank Says ‘Almost All Financial #scams Are Now Crypto-themed’ The Russian Central Bank reported that "almost all" financial scams identified in the past year had elements related to #cryptocurrencies. According to an official statement, the bank noted a nearly 16% increase in financial scams in 2023 compared to the previous year, with crypto themes prevalent in nearly every case. The bank highlighted a growing number of illegal entities in the financial market employing crypto-related themes. In 2023, it identified 5,735 entities, including companies, projects, and individual entrepreneurs, suspected of engaging in illegal activities such as financial pyramids. Despite the rise in such projects, the bank noted a positive trend: the lifespan of scam projects had decreased, and they were causing less financial damage on average. To combat these scams, the regulator blocked access to over 11,200 web pages associated with illegal financial market participants and operators of financial pyramids. The Central Bank also took legal action against suspected financial scammers, launching over 125 criminal cases and 620 administrative cases, many of which involved the use of cryptocurrencies or crypto-related themes. Collaborating with authorities like the Federal Antimonopoly Service and Roskomnadzor, the bank aims to crack down on financial scams. Its public list of suspected scams includes social media chatrooms, crypto-related games, suspected fraudulent exchanges, and #CryptoTrading bot schemes. Additionally, it identifies firms allegedly involved in crypto mining scams, where investors are solicited to fund dubious Bitcoin mining centers purportedly located in Siberia.

👉👉👉 Attorney Says They Are “Receiving 5-6 Emails a Day” From Victims of Pig Butchering #scams Pig butchering scams, a rising form of criminal activity in the United States, involve online romance, fake crypto investments, and human trafficking, causing substantial financial losses for victims. According to Erin West, Deputy District Attorney in Santa Clara, California, the issue is escalating, with an average of 5-6 daily emails from victims, including one recent case where an individual lost $5 million. The stolen funds are often sent overseas to transnational criminal organizations in Myanmar and Cambodia, utilizing trafficked individuals as virtual slaves to perpetrate the pig butchering scams. TRM Labs reports that the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) has received over 4,300 complaints related to pig butchering, resulting in cumulative losses exceeding $400 million. Erin West, part of the Regional Enforcement Allied Computer Team (REACT) Task Force, has developed a prosecutorial blueprint to address pig butchering cases. In collaboration with Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, West obtained crucial information that aided in the recovery of funds for 26 victims. Describing pig butchering as a calculated long-term con, West emphasizes the need for a comprehensive government solution to combat this form of scam. Despite losses of approximately $2 billion to crypto thefts in 2023, there was a slight decline in hacking incidents targeting the #cryptocurrency industry. A report from De.FI highlights ongoing vulnerabilities in the decentralized finance (#DEFI ) ecosystem, noting progress in addressing these challenges.

Understanding the various types of scams and knowing how to protect yourself is crucial. This guide will explore common money scams and provide practical tips on how to avoid falling victim to them. ## Understanding Money Scams Money scams can take many forms, including phishing emails, fake investment opportunities, lottery scams, and more. Scammers often use psychological tactics to manipulate their victims, creating a sense of urgency or fear to prompt quick decisions. Here are some of the most prevalent types of money scams: ### 1. Phishing Scams Phishing scams involve fraudulent emails or messages that appear to be from legitimate sources, such as banks or government agencies. These messages often ask for personal information, such as passwords or Social Security numbers. How to Avoid Phishing Scams: - Always verify the sender's email address. - Look for spelling and grammatical errors in the message. - Never click on links or download attachments from unknown sources. - Use two-factor authentication for added security. ### 2. Investment Scams Investment scams promise high returns with little risk, often involving Ponzi schemes or fake investment opportunities in stocks, real estate, or cryptocurrencies. How to Avoid Investment Scams: - Research any investment opportunity thoroughly. - Be wary of unsolicited offers and high-pressure sales tactics. - Consult with a financial advisor before making significant investments. - Check for registration with regulatory bodies, such as the SEC or FINRA. ### 3. Lottery and Prize Scams In these scams, victims receive notifications claiming they have won a lottery or prize they never entered. To claim their winnings, they must pay a fee or provide personal information. How to Avoid Lottery Scams: - Remember that legitimate lotteries do not require payment to claim winnings. - Never provide personal information to claim a prize. - Verify the legitimacy of the lottery through official channels. ### 4. Romance Scams Romance scams occur when a scammer builds a relationship with a victim online, often through dating sites, and eventually requests money for various reasons. How to Avoid Romance Scams: - Be cautious when sharing personal information with someone you’ve met online. - Avoid sending money to someone you haven’t met in person. - Look for red flags, such as requests for money or inconsistent stories. ### 5. Tech Support Scams In tech support scams, victims receive calls or pop-up messages claiming their computer has a virus and that they need to pay for assistance. How to Avoid Tech Support Scams: - Do not provide remote access to your computer to unsolicited callers. - Contact your software provider directly if you suspect an issue. - Use reputable antivirus software to protect your devices. ## General Tips to Avoid Money Scams 1. Educate Yourself: Stay informed about the latest scams and tactics used by fraudsters. Websites like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Better Business Bureau (BBB) provide valuable resources. 2. Trust Your Instincts: If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Trust your gut feelings and take a step back before making any financial decisions. 3. Use Secure Payment Methods: When making online purchases, use secure payment methods like credit cards or trusted payment platforms. Avoid wire transfers or sending cash. 4. Monitor Your Accounts: Regularly check your bank and credit card statements for unauthorized transactions. Report any suspicious activity immediately. 5.
