CoinMarketCap Nukes Malicious Wallet Scam Popup—Crypto Users Rejoice
CoinMarketCap Nukes Malicious Wallet Scam Popup—Crypto Users Rejoice
9
3
CoinMarketCap just flexed its security muscles—taking down a rogue wallet-draining popup that targeted unsuspecting traders. No more 'connect your wallet to claim free Bitcoin' traps.
How it happened: The data giant caught the scam mid-campaign, scrubbing it before mass casualties hit. No numbers disclosed—because in crypto, transparency is optional until it's not.
Why it matters: Wallet-drainers cost users $2B+ in 2024 alone (Chainalysis data). This takedown proves even centralized data hubs play defense for the little guy—between ad revenue batches, anyway.
Cynical take: Another day, another scam. At least this one got stopped before the usual suspects—VC-backed 'degen' funds—could blame it on FUD.
