Ripple CTO Warns of Phishing Targeting Crypto Community

Ripple Chief Technology Officer (CTO) David Schwartz recently shared an example of a phishing email impersonating Coinbase, one of the leading digital asset platforms. In his post on the X platform, Schwartz also warned the cryptocurrency community to be wary of fraudulent attempts targeting digital asset users.

The fake emails are designed to trick recipients into updating their account details via malicious links, which can compromise sensitive information. Such fraudulent attempts have been on the rise since early 2025, following a trend from late 2024. One member of the XRP community even praised Schwartz for this warning.

On the other hand, security experts also recommend preventive measures such as not clicking on suspicious links in emails and always verifying communications through official channels. In addition, enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) can also be an additional layer of protection against cyberattacks.
