Crpyto Scams are everywhere, and now they have a new tactic using a seemingly free "TradingView Premium Cracked" software. While it promises a free premium upgrade, it is instead a virus that steals your tokens and personal information!
Malwarebytes’ cybersecurity analysts have cautioned people about this scam gaining steam on Reddit in quick time. These scammers do not stop at spamming links; they sit in the comments pretending to help others install the malware, little do the users know that it is just a crypto scam!
Instead of being able to enjoy premium TradingView, you'll be treated to two nasty pieces of malware: Lumma Stealer and Atomic Stealer. They will steal your private info, rob your wallet, and even impersonate you for the sake of scamming your friends!
Investigators learned that the website hosting this fake software has been linked to a cleaning agency based in Dubai, while the hackers operating this malware are residing in Russia, which implies this is a serious cybercrime under action now!
In the latest crpyot scam news, a user lost $7.8 million after signing a phishing transaction. So-called scammers tricked one using a devious CREATE2 method to bypass wallet security, making it possible to siphon all the assets without alerting any security. Really, scams of this sort have bubbled up everywhere on social media, especially on X (formerly Twitter), wherein scammers impersonate famous influencers and entice people into fake Telegram groups.
Trading $220k in stablecoins would have been a very profitable endeavor for this trader. Instead, he got scammed! Using a MEV bot, a hacker manipulated the transaction that caused $215,000 to be relieved instantaneously. The scammer even tipped $200,000 to an Ethereum block builder for colluding with him on the fraud!
Pretending to be recruiters for jobs, scammers have their own version of scams to steal people's money and personal info. They use platforms such as LinkedIn to target developers and those at senior levels, tricking them into installing malware under the guise of a fake "assessment." Some victims were even invited to bogus office locations only to discover the entire job was a fraud!
Never download cracked software for anything, especially for trading! That's a scam.
Never agree to deactivate your security software for any application; that is a trap.
Be suspicious of job offers that seem too good to be true. They're probably scams.
Before trusting a recruiter, do your homework on the company.
The smarter scammers are getting, and if you are not quite careful, your money can vanish in seconds! Stay safe, stay smart or lose everything.
