🚨 Cointelegraph's interface hacked, users tricked into connecting wallets to receive 'fake tokens'
Cointelegraph confirms it was a front-end attack, with malicious actors inserting fraudulent pop-ups to lure users into connecting their wallets to receive tokens worth $5,500 – which are completely non-existent.
🔺 The pop-up also impersonates information from CertiK, displaying fake token prices to create a sense of trust.
⚠️ Cointelegraph warns: "Do not click on pop-ups, do not connect wallets, do not provide personal information!"
📉 The incident occurred just 2 days after CoinMarketCap experienced a similar issue. According to TRM Labs, 70% of crypto losses in 2024 ($2.2 billion) are due to phishing and malware.
🔐 A familiar yet vital reminder: "Do not connect wallets to any pop-ups or strange links – no matter how 'high-end' they may seem"
