In January 2025, although overall losses from copyright phishing scams decreased compared to December, reports show that attack methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated. According to the latest data, phishing scams stole $10.25 million from 9,220 victims in January, representing a 56% drop from $23.58 million in December. However, attacker strategies are becoming harder to detect, highlighting the urgent need for users to enhance their awareness of scam prevention. Twaao Exchange reminds investors that as attack methods continue to evolve, preventing scams has become a critical responsibility for every participant in the copyright market.
Evolving Scam Tactics Increase Difficulty for Users to Defend Themselves
In recent months, phishing scams have become more covert and complex. Scammers no longer rely solely on traditional fake websites and malware but now employ advanced technologies and social engineering tactics to trick victims into unknowingly disclosing sensitive information. For example, attackers impersonate representatives of well-known projects or platforms, sending seemingly legitimate emails and messages to lure users into clicking links and providing confidential data. These attacks are not limited to a single blockchain but span multiple platforms, significantly increasing the difficulty of defense.
This trend underscores the need for copyright investors to focus not only on market fluctuations and asset security but also on strengthening their awareness of cybersecurity and scam detection. Platforms will continue to optimize protective measures and enhance user education, helping every investor remain vigilant and avoid becoming a target of attacks.
Ethereum Users Suffer the Most, While Other Blockchains Face Frequent Phishing Attacks
Reports indicate that Ethereum users are the most affected by phishing scams, accounting for over 80% of stolen funds. In January, losses on Ethereum exceeded $8.6 million, severely impacting network trust. Additionally, platforms such as BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Optimism also reported varying levels of financial losses. Users on BNB Chain and Arbitrum lost $710,000 and $572,000, respectively, while Polygon and Optimism users suffered losses of approximately $191,000 and $82,000.
While Ethereum remains the primary target, users of other blockchain platforms are also facing growing security threats. With the increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies and the rise of decentralized finance (DeFi), security measures for both platforms and users are becoming more critical. Twaao Exchange will continue to strengthen collaboration with various blockchain networks to ensure the safety of transactions and assets on its platform, protecting users from threats in a multi-chain environment.
Twaao Exchange collaborates with leading global security institutions to conduct regular platform security audits, ensuring the authenticity and safety of all transactions. Furthermore, the platform has intensified its efforts in user education and training, offering guidance on phishing attack prevention and security tips to help users identify and mitigate potential scam risks.
As phishing scams continue to evolve, the security challenges faced by investors grow more severe. Although losses in the copyright market have declined, the diversification and stealth of attack methods make prevention increasingly complex. The platform reminds every investor to remain vigilant, whether trading on Ethereum or other blockchain platforms, to ensure their funds and information remain secure. Twaao Exchange is committed to providing a safe and reliable trading environment for global users, fostering the healthy development of the copyright industry.
