Multiple sources suggested CoinMarketCap was hacked on June 21. It said “Verify Wallet” when users attempted to visit the website on June 20. It was a trap to steal user phrases.

Decentra stated that the CMC website was hijacked and a malicious pop-up asked users to “Verify Wallet” to steal their seed phrase.

Vladimir S., threat researcher and author, validated the X hack with a pop-up print:

Our Phantom Wallet Chrome plugin verified that CMC is prohibited when we attempted to visit it.

Phantom thinks the website is now harmful and hazardous. A community-maintained database of phishing websites and frauds identified the website.

Phantom lets users disregard the notification and continue, but be careful until the issue is fixed.

On June 21, CMC released a statement via X stating that on June 20, their security team found a vulnerability in a doodle picture on their site and detailed how the malicious code caused certain users to see an unexpected pop-up.

CMC said all systems are working and the platform is secure.


Grok said that CMC suffered a front-end security compromise on June 20 when a malicious pop-up appeared on the website, encouraging users to “Verify Wallet” in a phishing scheme to steal private keys or personal data.
