We are seeing multiple community reports that @BurstRoyale_NFT is a scam project that drains NFT wallets after downloading the game. Several individuals have reported that they fell victim to this phishing site over the past month.
Please stay safe!
@BurstRoyale_NFT 1/ Burst Royale appears to have a consistent modus operandi where a “team member” contacts their targets on Twitter offering them a job for the project and asking them to download their game, which is a proxy malware that drains wallets.
@BurstRoyale_NFT 2/ The malware is reportedly called RedLine Stealer which connects to a server to exfiltrate data. It can be found on underground forums for sale for ~$150.
@BurstRoyale_NFT 3/ This particular malware harvests information from browsers such as saved credentials, autocomplete data, and credit card information. The stealer targets Chromium-based browsers and Gecko-based browsers.
@BurstRoyale_NFT 4/ Burst Royale is believed to be a copy of the original game @blastroyale. Both websites, gitbooks, logos, graphics, animations and white papers are the same. @BurstRoyale_NFT was reportedly called Shadow Ages before.
@BurstRoyale_NFT@blastroyale 6/ The original game @blastroyale has already notified the community that there was a site impersonating their project through a message from their CEO on Twitter and Tiktok
@BurstRoyale_NFT@blastroyale 7/ It appears that @BurstRoyale is another Twitter account connected to the scam website. Please always check your sources and make sure to not click on any links or download anything without doing your own research first!

1/ We are seeing a fake @Coinbase email scam. Here’s how it works 👇👀
The scammer targets individuals who are selling items online and promise to pay a large sum of BTC through Coinbase.
@coinbase 2/ They’ll then ask for the email address associated with the victim's Coinbase account.
Coinbase allows users to send crypto to an email address.
They then pretend to send you BTC and provide a fake screenshot of the confirmation.
@coinbase 3/ The scammer will then send an email pretending to be from Coinbase that will ask you to purchase BTC and send it to your 'activation address' in the email subject line. This is in order to ‘activate the encrypted fund’.
1/ Let's break down the recent FTX Wallet Drainer activity.
The BSC wallet holds ~$1.6m DAI after converting ~44,232 BNB to ~$4m USDC, ~$3.5m USDT and $3.4m Binance Peg ETH.
The assets were then bridged over to ETH and sent back to FTX Accounts Drainer.
2/ Once the FTX Wallet Drainer amassed ~250k ETH, they began bridging funds to the Bitcoin Blockchain
On 20 Nov, 50k ETH was transferred to 0x866E which swapped ETH for renBTC.
Those assets were then bridged to the following addresses
Bc1qv…gpedg
Bc1qa…n0702
3/ BTC Bc1qv…gpedg began a peel chain.
This is a money laundering technique whereby BTC is sent through a series of transactions in which smaller amounts of BTC are transferred to a new address.
In a matter of days, FTX, a company valued at $32B at the beginning of this year, went from a leading cryptocurrency exchange to bankruptcy.
🧵👇
2/ In the aftermath of FTX filing for bankruptcy we have seen the devastating impact the situation is having on a number of companies who had dealings with FTX.
3/ Some of the major companies hit by FTX’s collapse are:
Genesis Trading
Galaxy Digital
Galois Capital
BlockFi
Coinshares
Amber Group
Pantera Capital
Nexo
Voyager
