1/ Ice phishing is a considerable threat to the Web3 community

Instead of gaining accessing to your private key, scammers trick you into signing permissions to spend your assets.

We’ll outline below what to look out for, and how to protect yourself!

2/ The scam begins when a victim is tricked into approving the ice phishing address.

The scammers address will be presented to you when you are interacting with a malicious URL or Dapp

Below is an example of this type of transaction 👇

3/ The next phase comes when the ice phisher initiates a TransferFrom transaction

In the example below we can see the ice phisher (0x4632) initiates the transaction, which sends USDT to a recipient that is controlled by the scammer.

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

@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

@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.

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

@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

@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’.

The activation address is the scammers BTC wallet

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.
