Recently, people in the crypto circle probably need to be more cautious.

The CEO of a leading exchange posted a warning on social media a few days ago — the phishing attacks targeting crypto industry practitioners have become so sophisticated that they are hard to defend against.

The scheme goes like this: You first receive what looks like a normal meeting invitation, which may come from a Telegram private message or a schedule link that looks legitimate. Clicking on it, the Zoom or Teams meeting interface appears normal.

But once you enter the meeting room, the other party starts to play their role.

"Hey, I can't hear your voice on my end."

To be honest, this approach is a bit like those experimental setups with fake identities in early online art. It's just that now, using it to harvest inexperienced investors isn't as romantic.

According to data, the success rate of such social engineering attacks has soared to over 38%... The scary part is that the tactics are becoming more "refined," with IP spoofing and UI cloning becoming standard practices. --- It is worth noting that the confusion caused by phishing links has indeed increased in complexity over the past two years, with cases of private key leaks and authorization theft accounting for 42%. --- Based on on-chain data, the funds lost due to similar attacks have already reached 2.3 times the amount from the same period last year, which is the most terrifying aspect. --- Let's discuss from three dimensions—recognition, risk control, and emergency response. Most practitioners actually fail at the first step. --- It is recommended to adopt the following strategies: 1) Cold storage on hardware wallets 2) Flexible use of multi-signature 3) Offline confirmation before key operations. --- Honestly, the social engineering tactics in this wave have surpassed those of traditional financial scammers, making them almost impossible to defend against. --- Based on historical events, such precise phishing usually occurs intensively on the eve of major market movements. The alert period should be set to 7 days.

Wow, this technique is too brutal, can it even imitate Zoom? I need to quickly check my mysterious meeting invitations.

Ha, I told you. These scams are now really targeting crypto people precisely. They could still be brushed off before, but now they directly lure you into a Zoom call for a show. Whether you can resist depends entirely on luck. --- It's the same old trick, I've seen similar ones before. The key question is, how many people will actually click in? --- Oh my God, this is even more ridiculous than being tricked by a phishing email. At least with emails, you can spot the flaws. This kind of acting is just an upgraded version. --- So, the crypto world is so deep that the usual rule is not to rush. Any mysterious meeting is worth thinking twice about. --- What the hell is this, unstoppable defense? The CEO has already issued warnings, which means this has become a common problem. You really have to develop the habit of just passing on unfamiliar invites. --- By the way, these people are incredible, playing psychological warfare with us right here. Anyway, I always ask for the original message when I see strange invites, no matter how the other side twists it.

Damn, this trick is brilliant. I almost fell for it earlier, luckily I reacted quickly. --- These days, you have to be cautious even during meetings. The crypto circle really can't have peace. --- Oh my god, sisters, be careful. Someone around me has already been scammed. --- Wait, isn't this the old trick? Someone already exposed this before. --- My goodness, it gave me chills. How cautious do you have to be? --- I just want to ask, why are these people so bored that they come up with such disgusting methods? --- Remember, never click on suspicious meeting invitations. That way, you're always safe. --- Are people in the crypto circle so easy to phish? We need to strengthen our awareness, everyone. --- This operation is truly outrageous, even acting out a scene. They really think we are fools.

Oh no, that move was really clever. A friend got caught a couple of days ago and almost had his private key stolen. --- Damn, it's really exhausting to guard against this kind of scam. Who would have thought Zoom could be used for phishing? --- I knew something was fishy about those "meetings" earlier. Turns out I really need to be more cautious now. --- So my current rule is—don't click on links from strangers, even if it seems rude. --- These scammers are really full of tricks. We must stay vigilant about security awareness. --- It feels like the crypto world is now more exciting than a battle of wits and courage; you just can't guard against everything.

Here we go again with this scheme. I was wondering why someone kept asking me if I wanted to join some meetings; turns out it's all these scams.
