In an urgent warning issued today, June 23, 2025, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao alerted users to serious fraudulent attacks targeting popular crypto sites like CoinMarketCap and Cointelegraph.
🛑 The attack was carried out through fake pop-up windows that appeared to be legitimate "Airdrop" requests, asking users to connect their wallets, resulting in actual theft of funds from some traders.
📉 The warning reflects the rise of advanced attacks targeting cryptocurrency investors, even on trusted sites.
💬 CZ's advice to users:
> "Two days ago CoinMarketCap was targeted, and today Cointelegraph. Hackers are now directing their attacks at information sites. Be cautious when granting connection permissions to your wallets."
⚠️ Always be vigilant:
Do not trust any pop-up window claiming to offer rewards.
Only connect your wallet through official websites.
Never enter recovery phrases (Seed Phrase) outside of the original wallets.
