Web3 Phishing Attacks Cause Significant Losses in November

According to PANews, the Web3 security team ScamSniffer reported that phishing attacks in November resulted in approximately $9.3 million in losses, affecting 9,208 victims. The largest single loss involved the theft of $661,000 in stETH assets. Other significant thefts included $409,000 in WBTC, $344,000 in FET, and $220,000 in USDT, primarily through malicious signature attacks. Although the financial losses in November were lower compared to October's $20.2 million and September's $45.8 million, the number of victims remained high. The report also highlighted that after the Inferno Drainer team ceased operations, the Angel Drainer group took over related projects, indicating that phishing threats continue to evolve. ScamSniffer advises users to avoid rushing into signing transactions, verify all signature requests, use anti-phishing tools, and enhance wallet security. They emphasize that a single erroneous signature could lead to a complete loss of assets.
