Crypto Investors Lost $2.6 Million to Phishing Scam

Another day, another crypto heist—except this time, the thieves didn’t need brute force. Just a convincing email and a sprinkle of human error.


The Hook:
Investors coughed up $2.6 million in a phishing scam so slick, it’d make a Wall Street boiler room blush. No smart contract exploits, no flash loan attacks—just old-fashioned deception with a Web3 twist.


The Irony:
Victims likely preached ’DYOR’ while clicking ’verify wallet’ on a fake link. Meanwhile, traditional finance bros are still using ’password123’ on unencrypted spreadsheets—so maybe we’re all doomed.
