Q4 Security Situation Summary: Phishing Scams Remain the Biggest Threat
Phishing attacks have far surpassed the simple trick of "clicking the wrong link." From meticulously forged fake domains to browser auto-completion hijacking redirect traps, these methods are becoming increasingly covert.
Shocking real cases: a user accidentally transferred 50 million USDT to a malicious address in one go—the trap of this fake address lies in the fact that its first 3 characters and last 4 characters are exactly the same as the real address. Such precise imitation makes it difficult for any hurried glance to distinguish genuine from fake.
This serves as a reminder to all asset holders: before any critical transfer, verify the complete address multiple times and do not rely solely on the beginning and end. Phishing risks are rapidly escalating, and vigilance is always the first line of defense.

50 million gone... That's why I have to sleep three times before confirming a transfer.

50 million USDT gone in one go, this is truly unbelievable... Just looking at the beginning and end makes you want to die.

50 million USDT lost... This is unbelievable. Can the first and fourth places both be scams to this extent? You must be very careless.

50 million gone, how heartbreaking... Can you really fool someone with the first three digits and the last four being the same? Oh my, phishing has become this intense now.
