🚨 Waltio Data Breach: Shiny Hunters Hacker Group Attacks Crypto Tax Service Provider
The French cryptocurrency tax calculation service platform Waltio has been ransomed. The hacker group Shiny Hunters claims to have gained access to the data of 50,000 users (one-third of the platform's total customers).
Incident summary:
On January 21, 2026, the attackers stole the 2024 tax reports. The information in the hackers' possession includes:
Email addresses; profit and loss data; year-end asset balances.
🛡 Information that is safe:
Company CEO Pierre Morizot quickly reassured users: the infrastructure has not been compromised. Passwords, exchange API keys, wallet addresses, and transaction histories have not been leaked. Waltio cannot directly access or move user funds, so your assets are safe.
⚠️ Main risk - Social engineering attacks:
The current main risk is not a system collapse, but phishing. Hackers may use the leaked report data to impersonate Waltio support personnel in an attempt to trick you into providing access to your exchange or wallet.
How to protect yourself?
Verify the sender: Use Waltio's internal security code to verify the authenticity of emails. Ignore phone/SMS: The company does not have customers' phone numbers. Any call claiming to be from a "Waltio employee" is a scam. Stay vigilant: If a "support person" asks you for your password or recovery phrase and claims it's related to this breach, it is definitely a trap.
Please stay vigilant and protect your assets!🔒

Crypto Meets Cybercrime: The Rise of Cybercrime-as-a-Service
💻 From Hacking to “Service”: The Rise of Cybercrime-as-a-Service (CaaS) in the Crypto Era
The dark web has evolved — and so have cybercriminals.
Welcome to the era of Cybercrime-as-a-Service (CaaS), where hacking operates like a subscription business and crypto fuels the entire ecosystem.
Just like legitimate SaaS platforms, attackers now sell or rent ransomware kits, phishing frameworks, and exploit tools, enabling anyone to launch attacks with a few clicks — often paid for in Bitcoin, Monero, or stablecoins.
⚙️ What’s on Offer in the Cybercrime Marketplace?
🧠 Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) – Developers take a cut while affiliates execute attacks and demand crypto ransom payments.
🎣 Phishing-as-a-Service – Ready-made fake exchanges, wallet drains, and DeFi clone sites.
🌐 DDoS-for-Hire – Attacks targeting crypto exchanges, NFT launches, and Web3 platforms.
🧩 Exploit Kits & Access Brokers – Buy smart-contract exploits, private keys, or exchange access — no coding required.
🚨 Why It Matters
CaaS has lowered the barrier to entry for cybercrime, while crypto provides:
• Pseudonymous payments
• Borderless transactions
• Faster monetization of attacks
This combination has created a multi-billion-dollar underground economy, accelerating threats across crypto, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and government sectors.
🔐 How to Defend in a Crypto-Driven Threat Landscape
✔ Adopt a Zero Trust security model
✔ Monitor dark web + on-chain intelligence
✔ Secure wallets, private keys, and smart contracts
✔ Train employees — phishing remains the #1 attack vector
✔ Strengthen incident response & crypto recovery plans
✔ Collaborate — public, private, and Web3 partnerships matter
🧩 Final Thought
Cybercrime-as-a-Service is the industrialization of digital crime, powered by crypto economics.
To fight it, defenders must think like attackers, move faster than markets, and secure both systems and value flows.
Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue — it’s a business, financial, and crypto risk.

The "Identity Verification" Phishing Wave.
It's the beginning of the year, and scammers are exploiting the "New Year, New Regulations" narrative. We are seeing a massive surge in fake emails and SMS claiming your account will be "frozen" unless you complete a mandatory KYC update.
How the Social Engineering works:
Fear & Urgency: The message uses scary language ("Immediate suspension," "Account restricted") to stop you from thinking clearly.
The Mirror Site: The link leads to a perfect replica of an exchange login page. Once you enter your credentials and 2FA, the hacker has full access.
Data Harvesting: They might even ask for a photo of your ID, which they will later use to bypass security on other platforms or for identity theft.
Your Defense Strategy:
Check the Sender: Real exchanges use specific domains. Look for small typos (e.g., binance-support.net instead of binance.com).
The "App-Only" Rule: Never click links in emails. If you get a notification, close the email, open your official app manually, and check for alerts there.
Protect your 2FA: No real support agent will ever ask for your 6-digit 2FA code via chat or phone.
Stay calm, stay safe, and verify everything!

@JasonYanowitz on X narrates his #hack odeal.
I got hacked yesterday. At the risk of looking foolish, I'll share how it happened so you can avoid this nightmare. For the past few weeks, people have been trying to get into my accounts. #Crypto accounts, email, twitter, etc... every few days I get an email that someone is trying to access one of my accounts. Thankfully I have non-text #2FA set up for everything so nothing got hacked. So when I got back from dinner last night and saw this email, I panicked.
Someone in North Cyprus had finally managed to hack into my account. I guess my security wasn't strong enough and they found a loophole.
I clicked the link to "secure my account". I entered my username and password, updated to a new password, and voila: I'm back in. Crisis averted. Or so I thought. Moments later, I got an email saying my email address had been changed.
This was the real hack.
I was now officially locked out of my account. So how did this happen? It turns out the original email, which looks incredibly real, was not so real. Most email clients hide the actual address.
But when you expand it, you can see that this email was sent from "verify@x-notify.com" Fake address. I got phished. Very foolish mistake. I don't open Google Docs when they're sent to me. I don't click links. I typically check addresses. But Friday 8pm after a long week, they got me. I am aware this thread exposes a pretty dumb mistake but if I can save one person from this same mistake, it's worth it.
Some takeaways:
- Don't click links
- If you do click a link, review the actual email address
- Set up non-text 2FA on everything
- If you've done that, trust your own security process
- If you think you've been hacked, slow down and think about how this could have happened
Big thank you to @KeithGrossman and some folks at X for helping me get my account back so quickly.
If you're still reading, go read the self-audit series from @samczsun.
And this best practices from @bobbyong.
Lot more you can do but start there. #phishing

The crypto community facing scams: how to recognize, prevent, and act.
The rise in cryptocurrency prices has brought with it a concerning increase in increasingly elaborate frauds, threatening the credibility of the crypto environment and opening the door to greater regulatory controls.
How can the crypto ecosystem respond?
🔹 Continuous education: It is vital to share information about frauds such as rug pulls, phishing, misleading giveaways, and emotional scams. Workshops, educational threads, and open resources can make a difference.
🔹 Real transparency: Encourage projects to present clear documentation, verifiable teams, and publicly available audits.
🔹 Joint action: Platforms, wallets, and users must work together by sharing lists of scammers and reporting suspicious activities.
🔹 Analytical tools: Promote the use of services like Token Sniffer or DEXTools to evaluate contracts and tokens before investing.
🔹 Active support for victims: Create spaces where users can report scams and share alerts to prevent others from falling victim.
Main crypto scams in 2025
⚠️ Deepfakes: Manipulated videos or audios where supposed celebrities promote false investments.
⚠️ Pig Butchering: Emotional scams that build false relationships to later steal funds.
⚠️ Rug pulls and pump & dump schemes: Projects that inflate their value and disappear with the money.
⚠️ Phishing and wallet draining: Malicious sites and apps designed to steal keys and crypto assets.
⚠️ Malware on Telegram or direct messages: Disguised applications and bots that install spyware or extract sensitive data.
The best defense remains knowledge and teamwork. Share this information with your community and stay vigilant.

How Hackers Steal Crypto from MetaMask—Protect Your Funds Now
MetaMask is one of the most popular cryptocurrency wallets, used by millions to store, send, and receive digital assets. However, it has also become a target for hackers due to its widespread use. Protecting your MetaMask wallet is critical to keeping your crypto secure. Below, we’ll break down the most common ways hackers can steal funds from MetaMask and how you can protect yourself.
1. Phishing Attacks
Phishing is one of the most common methods hackers use to steal crypto from MetaMask users. In these attacks, hackers create fake websites or send emails that look like official MetaMask communications. When users enter their seed phrase or private keys on these fraudulent sites, hackers capture the information and can instantly access the user's funds.
How to Protect Yourself:
Never share your seed phrase or private keys. Legitimate services will never ask for these.Always double-check the website URL when accessing MetaMask or any crypto service.Avoid clicking on links in unsolicited emails or messages claiming to be MetaMask.
2. Malware and Keyloggers
Malware and keyloggers are software programs that can secretly track your activity and capture sensitive information, such as your seed phrase or private keys. Once installed on your device, a hacker can monitor your MetaMask interactions and gain access to your wallet.
How to Protect Yourself:
Install a reputable antivirus program and ensure your system is regularly scanned for malware.Use a VPN to keep your internet connection secure.Avoid downloading unknown software or files from untrusted websites.
3. Fake MetaMask Browser Extensions
Hackers often create fake MetaMask browser extensions designed to look exactly like the real thing. If you install one of these, it can steal your login credentials or seed phrase and give hackers full access to your wallet.
How to Protect Yourself:
Download extensions only from official sources. Always verify that the MetaMask extension comes from the official MetaMask website or trusted platforms like Chrome's official store.Check reviews and ratings before installing any browser extension.
4. Unauthorized Approvals of Smart Contracts
Hackers exploit MetaMask users by tricking them into unknowingly granting approvals to malicious smart contracts. These contracts can withdraw funds from your wallet without your permission.
How to Protect Yourself:
Read contract approvals carefully before interacting with dApps (decentralized applications). Don’t blindly approve every request.Revoke permissions for smart contracts you no longer use by visiting sites that help you manage your approvals (e.g., revoke.cash).
5. Social Engineering
Social engineering attacks involve tricking you into voluntarily handing over your wallet details. Hackers may impersonate support staff, ask for your seed phrase, or offer fake assistance via social media or forums.
How to Protect Yourself:
Do not share sensitive information on social media or messaging platforms.Be wary of anyone offering unsolicited help, even if they claim to be from MetaMask or another trusted platform.
