A coordinated attack just drained roughly $55,000 from unsuspecting traders. Here's what went down:

Hackers seized control of a verified WeChat account belonging to a figure associated with a major exchange. They didn't waste time—immediately started hyping $Mubarakah with fabricated urgency. Classic setup. The message screamed "buy now," users rushed in, price spiked. Then? The dumping began.

This wasn't sophisticated tech. Just social engineering at its finest. Compromised trust, manufactured FOMO, executed exit.

Two things worth remembering: No legitimate opportunity requires instant action through DMs. And if something feels off? It probably is. Cross-check sources. Verify channels. Question everything that creates artificial urgency.

Stay skeptical out there.

It's the same old story. After all these years, social engineering scams still catch people off guard. I really can't keep my composure anymore, haha.

It's the same old story; social engineering and phishing are always more effective than hacker techniques... Looks like I need to engrain "Don't believe in getting rich quick in DMs" into my mind.

It's this routine again, it's staged every day. In the DM, it is correct to call for a direct block

It's this routine again, and social work scams are always the best. As soon as the seemingly tall account was taken over, he began to cut leeks like crazy, and 50,000 yuan flew away.

Here you go again? Social worker fraud has long been rotten on the streets, and some people are really outrageous. The key is why the protection of those verification accounts is so poor

It's this routine again, I'm tired of watching it. Nine out of ten people who shout to buy in DM are liars, and if there is a chance, they still need to urge you?

It's this old trick again, social workers cut leeks faster than technical attacks. 50,000 yuan is gone, or those old buddies who chase the rise and fall suffer. But then again, this wave does reflect a problem - so many big V accounts on the chain are like paper, and there is no protection.
