The cryptocurrency industry has long been a target of phishing attacks, and it seems that hackers are finding new and more clever ways to scam their victims.
This time, it was the website of an anticipated event that was entirely faked in an attempt to trick victims out of their crypto.
- ETH Denver is advertised as the largest and longest-running ETH event in the world. This year, it will take place between February 24th and March 5th.
- Conferences are typically a place of interest for many people, and a lot of them tend to be newcomers who aren’t yet familiar with the dangers of the industry.
- This is what hackers have recently tried exploiting, creating a completely new fake website that resembles the official website of ETH Denver.
- The threat was detected by crypto security firm Blockfence.
