Hackers launch a bloodbath on encrypted portals! Zhao Changpeng warns at midnight: Wallet authorization is suicide
On June 23, 2025, Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) urgently posted: "Hackers are precisely targeting top information platforms such as CoinMarketCap and Cointelegraph, malicious pop-ups are inducing wallet authorizations, and 39 users have lost over $180,000!" This is the second official channel hijacking incident this month.
In May, the Ledger Discord admin account was hacked, and a phishing website harvested a million dollars in one day; now the attack has escalated to front-end penetration, where fake announcements + real authorizations = assets reduced to zero with just one click.
Full Analysis of the Attack: How do fake announcements drain your wallet?
1. Classic Three Moves
Fake vulnerability announcements
Inducing wallet connections
Malicious authorization pop-ups
2. Shocking Data
Hackers have forged domain similarity up to 92%
The average time to empty a wallet after malicious contract authorization is 17 minutes
Over 60% of victims clicked on airdrop links due to "greed for small benefits"
Emergency Strategy: Three Moves to Protect Your Assets
1. Authorization Nuclear-Level Self-Check
Immediately visit Revoke.cash or Etherscan Token Approvals
Clear all unnecessary contract authorizations (focus on DEX such as Uniswap/PancakeSwap)
2. Hot and Cold Wallet Isolation Technique
Hot Wallet: Only keep trading funds for 3 days (recommended Trust Wallet)
Cold Wallet: Large assets + offline signature (Ledger/OneKey hardware wallet)
3. Anti-Phishing Golden Rules
Always manually enter the URL
Verify contract addresses before authorization
Enable wallet "simulate transaction" feature (rehearse risks before confirming)
On-Chain Dark War: BNB Chain has become the frontline of defense
Although Zhao Changpeng has stepped down as CEO of Binance, his ecosystem is building the strongest firewall:
BNB Chain has added an "Authorization Behavior Analyzer" that automatically marks high-risk contracts.
The Binance security team has reversed and destroyed two hacker organizations within 72 hours (recovering $430,000 of stolen funds).
Heavy Hook: Binance Web3 wallet will soon launch an "authorization circuit breaker mechanism," which will automatically freeze assets upon triggering abnormal operations (scheduled for Q3 2025).
