🚨 January 2026 Crypto Security Report: $370M Lost as Phishing Scams Explode
The crypto industry started 2026 with a massive wake-up call. According to CertiK, the total losses from hacks and scams in January surged to $370.3 million — a staggering 214% increase compared to December.
📊 Key Highlights:
🔹 The Rise of "Super-Phishing":
Phishing alone accounted for $311.3 million of the total losses. A single social engineering incident resulted in a jaw-dropping $284 million theft. This proves that the human factor remains the weakest link in crypto security.
🔹 Top Exploits of the Month (via PeckShield):
Step Finance: The largest hack of the year so far, with 261,000 SOL (~$28.9M) drained.Truebit: A smart contract vulnerability allowed attackers to mint tokens for free, resulting in a $26.4M loss and a price crash.SwapNet: Exploited for $13.3M on January 26.Saga: Lost $7M in a protocol attack on January 21.
🔍 The Bottom Line:
While successful hacker attacks totaled $86.01M (a 13% increase from December), the sheer scale of phishing scams is what drove the numbers to record highs. We are seeing more sophisticated social engineering tactics than ever before.
⚠️ Stay Safe, Binancians:
Always double-check URL links and transaction signatures.Be wary of "too good to be true" offers on social media.Consider using hardware wallets for long-term storage.
Don't let your bags become a statistic. Stay vigilant! 🛡️

🚨 CRITICAL: January 2026 Crypto Theft Hits $400M+
The first month of 2026 has served a brutal reminder that in the world of Web3, security is not optional. According to recent blockchain security reports, over $400 million was drained from the ecosystem in January alone. The primary culprit? A massive wave of sophisticated phishing attacks and social engineering scams that targeted even the most "secure" users.
📉 The Breakdown of the Damage
Total Losses: Over $400.3 Million.
Phishing Dominance: Approximately $311.3 million was lost to phishing, proving that hackers are now "hacking the human" rather than just the code.
The Single Largest Hit: One individual lost a staggering $284 million (1,459 BTC and 2.05M LTC) after a hardware wallet was compromised via a social engineering scam.
Protocol Breaches: Solana-based Step Finance saw $30 million drained from treasury wallets, while smart contract exploits hit Truebit ($26.6M) and Swapnet ($13M).
🛡️ How to Stay Safe in 2026
The game has changed. Standard 2FA is no longer enough when AI-driven deepfakes and "industrialized" phishing kits are in play.
Trust Nothing: No legitimate exchange or wallet provider (like MetaMask or Binance) will ever ask for your seed phrase via email or a "security update" website.
Use Anti-Phishing Codes: Enable the Anti-Phishing Code in your Binance security settings. If an email doesn't have your unique code, it's a scam.
Hardware is Not Invincible: Even with a hardware wallet, "blind signing" a malicious transaction can drain your funds. Always verify the contract address on a second device.
Revoke Regularly: Use tools to revoke token approvals for DeFi protocols you aren't actively using.
The Bottom Line: As the market heats up, so do the scammers. Don't let your hard-earned gains become another statistic in next month’s report.

A $12.4 Million Copy-Paste Nightmare! One Click Costs an Unlucky Investor 🥶🥶
Imagine this: You copy and paste a wallet address, and in an instant, your life savings—$12.4 million (approx. 4,556 $ETH )—vanishes into thin air. It sounds like a horror movie, but this is the reality for wallet holder '0xd674'. This wasn't a sophisticated hack or a smart contract bug; it was a simple, devastating "copy-paste" error.
How Did This Elaborate Scam Unfold? 👇
The incident was a victim of a highly strategic "Address Poisoning" attack. Here is how the attacker set the trap:
Routine Transactions: The victim frequently sent funds to a specific Galaxy Digital deposit address (0x6D90...2E48).
The Attacker’s Move: An attacker noticed this pattern and generated a "vanity" address. This fake address had the same first and last four characters as the legitimate one, making it look almost identical at a glance.
Polluting the History: The attacker sent tiny "dust" transactions (negligible amounts of crypto) to the victim’s wallet. This ensured the fake address appeared repeatedly in the victim’s recent transaction history.
The Fatal Mistake: About 11 hours ago, when the victim went to deposit ETH again, they hurriedly copied the address directly from their transaction history. Unfortunately, they grabbed the attacker's address: 0x6d90...2E48.
The Result: 4,556 ETH went straight to the attacker. In the world of crypto, there is no "Undo" or "Refund" button—once a transaction is confirmed, it is gone forever.
Crucial Lessons We Must Learn:
The blockchain doesn’t care about your intent; it only recognizes the destination address. This brutal incident serves as a wake-up call for all of us:
Never Copy from History: Avoid copying deposit addresses from your transaction history. Always fetch a fresh address directly from the exchange or recipient platform.
Verify the Entire Address: Don’t just check the first and last four characters. Verify several characters in the middle as well.
Perform Test Transactions: Before moving large sums, always send a small "test" amount (e.g., $5–$10) to confirm it arrives safely.
Use Whitelisting: Save your frequently used addresses in your wallet’s "Address Book" or "Whitelist" to eliminate manual entry risks.
Final Thought: Saving a few seconds by rushing can cost you millions. In crypto, you are your own bank—and your security is entirely in your hands.
Victim Address: 0xd6741220a947941bF290799811FcDCeA8AE4A7Da

🚨 SHOCKING: South Korea’s $48M Seized Bitcoin Vanishes! 📉$BTC
Can you imagine a government agency getting phished? It just happened.
The Gwangju District Prosecutors' Office in South Korea is under fire after discovering that a massive stash of seized Bitcoin—worth approximately 70 billion KRW ($48 million USD)—has gone missing from their custody. 😱
🔍 What Happened?
During a routine audit of assets stored on hardware devices (USB drives), officials realized the funds were gone. The suspected culprit? A phishing attack. Reports suggest an official inadvertently accessed a fraudulent website, leading to the leak of private keys or passwords. $BTC
💡 Why This Matters for You:
Institutional Vulnerability: If law enforcement agencies with "strict" protocols can fall for phishing links, anyone can. 🛡️
The "Not Your Keys" Rule: Even when the government seizes your crypto, the security of those assets depends on the human handling the keys
Security Overhaul: This massive blunder is sparking a heated debate about how governments manage digital assets. Is it time for more advanced institutional custody solutions?
This incident is a loud wake-up call for the entire crypto community. Security isn't a one-time setup; it’s a constant battle. Stay vigilant, double-check every link, and never share your seed phrase! 🚫🖱️
What do you think? Should governments be held to higher security standards for seized crypto, or was this just an "unavoidable" human error?
Let’s discuss below! 👇

🚨 #SouthKoreaSeizedBTCLoss $48M Bitcoin VANISHES from Government Custody! 😱💸
Hey Binance KY fam! You won't believe this plot twist... South Korean prosecutors just became the latest victims of a crypto heist, but here's the kicker they were supposed to be the ones protecting these assets! 🤯
📋 What Went Down?
The Gwangju District Prosecutors' Office (yes, the actual government!) discovered that approximately 70 billion won (~$48 million USD) worth of seized Bitcoin has mysteriously disappeared from their custody.
🎣 The Culprit? A Simple Phishing Attack!
Here's where it gets wild: • An employee clicked on a fraudulent website (classic phishing trap! 🪝) • Wallet passwords were compromised • The BTC was stolen during "official storage" • Discovered only during a routine audit in January 2026 📅
⚖️ The Ironic Timing
Just weeks earlier (early Jan 2026), South Korea's Supreme Court finally ruled that seizing Bitcoin from exchange wallets is legal in criminal cases. They were literally celebrating their new crypto confiscation powers... and then this happens! 😅
🔐 Key Takeaways for Us:
✅ Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins Even government agencies learn this the hard way! ✅ Cold Storage is King – Hot wallets + government employees = disaster recipe 🚨 ✅ Multi-Sig is a Must – No single person should control $48M with one password ✅ Security Training Matters – If prosecutors can fall for phishing, so can we!
💭 Thoughts?
How do you think governments should store seized crypto? Cold wallets? Multi-sig setups? Or should they just HODL in Fort Knox 2.0? 😂
Drop your security tips below! Let's learn from their $48M mistake! 👇

THE $48M CLICK: How South Korea’s Government Lost It All
The crypto world is buzzing with a story that sounds like a movie plot, but it’s a cold, hard reality. The Gwangju District Prosecutors’ Office in South Korea just confirmed a staggering loss of approximately 70 billion won ($48 million) in seized Bitcoin.$BTC
The most shocking part? It wasn't a sophisticated blockchain hack. It was a simple phishing scam.
📉 What Actually Happened?
During a routine audit of confiscated assets, officials realized the digital vault was empty. Here is the breakdown of the failure:
* The "Cold" Storage Myth: The BTC was stored on USB drives (removable media). While this is "offline," it is only as secure as the person holding the drive.
* The Leak: Credentials and private keys were exposed to the attackers instantly. By the time the next routine check rolled around, the funds were long gone.
💡 Why This Matters for YOU
If a government agency with "layered security" can lose $48 million to a fake link, imagine the risks for an individual investor. This incident serves as a brutal reminder of three things:
* Human Error is the #1 Risk: You can have the best wallet in the world, but if you hand over your keys to a fake site, the blockchain can't save you.
* Institutional Custody is Evolving: This "blunder" will likely force regulators to move away from simple USB storage toward more robust, multi-sig institutional custody solutions.
* The "Check Twice" Rule: Always verify URLs. Scammers are getting better at mimicking official portals, exchange logins, and wallet interfaces.
🛡️ How to Stay Safe
* Never enter your seed phrase or private keys on any website.
* Use Bookmarked Links for your favorite exchanges and tools to avoid "spoofed" search results.
> Final Thought: This isn't just a loss for South Korea; it’s a lesson for the global crypto community. In the world of Bitcoin, you are your own bank—which means you are also your own Chief Security Officer.

$BTC $ETH $BNB 🚨 South Korea’s Massive Bitcoin Blunder: $48M Seized BTC Lost! 📉
Unbelievable news coming out of South Korea! Law enforcement authorities have reportedly lost a staggering $48 Million worth of Bitcoin that was originally seized in criminal investigations.
What Happened?
The Incident: The Gwangju District Prosecutors' Office discovered that around 320+ BTC were missing during a routine inspection.
The Cause: Reports suggest a phishing attack was to blame after a prosecutor’s office official inadvertently accessed a scam website, leading to the leak of private keys (passwords).
Internal Probe: Authorities are now investigating whether this was a sophisticated outside hack or a potential "inside job."
Why This Matters for Traders:
Security First: If even a high-level government agency can fall for phishing, your personal security must be your #1 priority. Always use cold storage and never click unknown links! 🛡️
Market Trust: Such incidents raise questions about how governments manage seized digital assets, potentially leading to stricter custody regulations.
Volatility: While this doesn't directly crash the market, it creates negative sentiment around the safety of digital asset management.

Irony Alert: South Korea Prosecutors Lose $48M Seized Bitcoin to Phishing Scam!
In a shocking turn of events that has left the crypto community stunned, the Gwangju District Prosecutors' Office in South Korea has reported a massive loss of seized Bitcoin. This isn't just a small mistake; it’s a security disaster that highlights the risks of physical cold storage.
1. How did it happen?
Reports from earlier today indicate that the Bitcoin—seized from an illegal gambling ring—was stored on USB devices. During a routine inspection, an official reportedly accessed a "scam website," leading to a phishing attack that leaked the private keys.
2. The Numbers: $48 Million Gone?
While the official amount is being kept "confidential" due to the ongoing investigation, internal rumors and local media like The Chosun Daily suggest:
Estimated Loss: ~70 Billion Won (~$47.7 Million USD).Token Involved: Pure $BTC .The Irony: Law enforcement, who frequently warn citizens about phishing, fell for a phishing trap themselves.
3. Why This Matters for the Market
Security Scrutiny: This incident will likely force governments worldwide to rethink how they "HODL" seized assets. Expect a shift toward institutional custodians like Binance Custody or Coinbase.Market Sentiment: While this doesn't affect Bitcoin's code, it creates "FUD" (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) regarding the security protocols of large government-held stashes (like the US or Germany).
4. Lessons for Retail Traders
If a government agency can be phished, anyone can.
Never enter your seed phrase or private keys on any website.Use 2FA (Hardware keys are best).Verify every "inspection" or "update" link twice.
What do you think? Should governments be allowed to hold crypto if they can't secure it? Is this an "inside job" or a genuine mistake? 💬

🚨 تحذير مهم لعشّاق الكريبتو 🚨
اليوم، كثير من أعضاء مجتمع العملات الرقمية استلموا رسائل خاصة مشبوهة…
الظاهر؟ حسابات “موثوقة”.
الحقيقة؟ عملية تصيّد خطيرة 🎣
🔴 ما الذي يحدث؟
المحتالون ينتحلون صفة حسابات كريبتو معروفة
يستخدمون شارة توثيق مزيفة باسم مشروع @ethena_lab
الهدف؟ خداعك لتثق بالرابط… ثم سرقة بياناتك أو أموالك
⚠️ لماذا هذا خطير؟
لأن شارة التوثيق الوهمية تعطي إحساساً زائفاً بالأمان
ولأن ضحية واحدة قد تعني خسارة لا تُعوّض 💔
✅ كيف تحمي نفسك؟
• لا تضغط أي رابط في الرسائل الخاصة
• تحقق دائماً من الحساب الرسمي من الموقع الأصلي
• تجاهل أي “تحقق عاجل” أو “فرصة محدودة”
• الأمان أولاً… دائماً 🔐
💬 تذكير بسيط:
في عالم الكريبتو، الثقة الزائدة = خطر
كن أذكى من المحتال، ولا تمنحه فرصته
📢 شارك المنشور لتحذير غيرك،
👍 اعمل لايك لو تهمك سلامة الكريبتو،
💬 واكتب بالتعليقات: هل وصلك شيء مشابه؟

🚨 Major Crypto Custody Fail: South Korea Loses ~$48M in Seized Bitcoin 🚨
South Korea’s Gwangju District Prosecutors’ Office discovered during a routine check that a significant amount of Bitcoin (seized as evidence in criminal cases) had vanished — estimated at ~70 billion KRW (~$47–48 million USD).
Key details:
• Incident likely occurred in mid-2025 (summer timeframe).
• Suspected cause: Phishing attack — an official reportedly accessed a fake website while inspecting wallet credentials (stored on USB devices).
• Funds appear transferred out; internal investigation underway, no recovery announced yet.
This is a stark reminder: Even government agencies handling seized crypto aren’t immune to basic phishing/social engineering attacks. Poor custody practices (e.g., hot wallets, weak verification) can lead to massive losses.
Lessons for all in crypto:
• Use hardware wallets & multi-sig for any significant holdings.
• NEVER click unsolicited links or enter credentials on unverified sites.
• Enable 2FA/hardware keys everywhere — verify sources directly.
• Institutions & individuals: Prioritize audited custody solutions!
Crypto security is everyone’s responsibility. Stay vigilant! 🔒

#ScrollCoFounderXAccountHacked 🚨 BREAKING: SCROLL CO-FOUNDER HACKED! 😱 STAY VIGILANT! 🚨
The crypto world just got a wake-up call. Haichen Shen, the co-founder of Scroll, has had his X account compromised. Scammers are currently using his profile to drain wallets! 📉💸
🧨 How the Scam Works:
The hackers have rebranded his account to look like official X Support. They are sending out terrifying DMs and posts claiming your account has "Copyright Violations." The Trap: They give you a link to "appeal" within 48 hours. DO NOT CLICK IT. It’s a sophisticated phishing link designed to compromise your keys and drain your assets. 🛑
🛡️ 3 Steps to Protect Yourself NOW:
Mute/Block: Avoid interacting with @shenhaichen until the Scroll team gives the "Official Clear."
Double Check: Real support from X or any crypto project will NEVER DM you asking for a link click to save your account.
Spread the Word: Share this post! Your friends might be the next target for these high-profile DMs.
This is a reminder that even the biggest names in Web3 can be targets. If a founder's account looks "official" but is asking for urgent action—it’s a red flag! 🚩

🚨 URGENT: Scroll Co-Founder X Account HACKED – Stay Safe! 🚨
The crypto community is on high alert today, January 25, 2026, as reports confirm that the X (formerly Twitter) account of Scroll Co-Founder Kenneth Shen (@shenhaichen) has been compromised.
🛡️ What’s Happening?
The hackers are currently using the account to impersonate X Official Staff and sending mass Phishing DMs. They are likely targeting users with "support" links or "exclusive" opportunities.
DO NOT:
Click any links sent via DM from his account.
Connect your wallet to any site mentioned in his recent posts.
Provide personal information or "verify" your account through unsolicited messages.
🔍 How Scammers Exploit the "Co-Founder" Trust
These attacks usually follow a specific pattern to drain your assets:
Account Takeover: Often via SIM-swap or social engineering.
Authority Baiting: They use the co-founder’s blue-check status to appear legitimate.
The Drainer: They send a link to a "claim" or "support" page that asks for a Signature Request in your wallet. Once you sign, they have permission to move your tokens.
💡 3 Rules to Protect Your Portfolio Today
Revoke Permissions: If you’ve clicked anything recently, go to Revoke.cash or your wallet's security settings to clear any suspicious approvals.
Hard 2FA Only: Switch from SMS 2FA to a physical security key (Yubikey) or an Authenticator App (Google/Authy). SMS is no longer safe enough for crypto.
Trust Nothing in DMs: Real founders will never DM you first to offer technical support or "secret" airdrops.
The Scroll team is working on recovery, but until then, MUTE and REPORT any suspicious activity from that handle.
Stay vigilant, Scrollizens. Protecting your seed phrase is your only job today! 🛡️
