The cryptocurrency industry has long been the target of phishing attacks, and hackers appear to be finding new and smarter ways to trick their victims.
This time, it's a website with a completely fake expected event in an attempt to scam victims out of their cryptocurrency. ETH Denver is billed as the largest and longest running ETH event in the world. This year, it will be held between February 24 and March 5.
Conferences are often places of interest for many, often newbies who are not yet familiar with the dangers of the industry. This is what hackers recently tried to take advantage of, creating a brand new fake website similar to the official ETH Denver website. The threat was detected by crypto security firm Blockfence.
Another day, another scam.
This time, scammers are targeting the Ethereum Denver website. Blockfence is here to protect you and fight scammers together: Scam contracts are flagged as "high risk" by ML algorithms and partners.
In this regard, the official Twitter account of ETH Denver also issued a notice warning of fake websites. Phishing is no small threat. While newcomers and those without sufficient key management experience are often easier targets, that doesn't mean experts are safe.
Quite the contrary, RTFKT COO Nikhil Gopalani, who has extensive experience in the field, was recently hacked and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of NFTs.
