Cryptocurrency phishing attacks escalated sharply in April, draining $5.29 million from 7,565 victim addresses—a 26% increase from March. High-value targets remained vulnerable, with one whale losing $1.43 million to fraudulent signature approvals. The attack vectors diversified, exploiting multi-permit signatures and other sophisticated tactics.
Notable losses included $666,414 from address 0xc1e4260cb and $234,000 from 0x7C930969FCF. The trend mirrors March’s $1.82 million whale heist, underscoring persistent risks even for experienced investors. ScamSniffer’s data reveals a worrying acceleration in both scale and complexity of these exploits.
