A million dollars in Monero has turned the heads of dozens of sneaky crypto dealers.
On July 30, thanks to the publication of a new Kaspersky Lab report, the public became aware of a new fraud scheme aimed at dishonest crypto users. Fraudsters skillfully portray data leaks of other people's crypto wallets and use them to catch fans of "easy money".
The scheme starts with sending messages via Telegram. The messages contain a link to a "second-tier" crypto exchange, and the next link is hidden behind it, which leads to a site with a list of files.
Among these files there are details of crypto wallets, seed phrases and screenshots of successful transactions, which leads the "victim" to think about a real information leak.
The details of crypto wallets are real, which allows you to check the transaction history. Funds in the wallets are frozen, so they cannot be withdrawn, but this fact significantly reduces the "victim" ' s suspicions about fraud and creates the illusion of a real data leak, as well as a selfish desire to use this leak for their own purposes.
After about two months of continuously creating interest and luring fans to get rich quickly, the authors of the fraudulent Telegram channel finally published a new screenshot from the Telegram chat, which demonstrates a large amount in Monero tokens. In the same place, the most attentive cryptodeltsy were able to notice a seed phrase for accessing the wallet, which, according to the screenshot, contains at least 6000 Monero tokens (about a million dollars).

The most enterprising users tried to use the found seed phrase to access the wallet via Electrum, but immediately encountered problems, since this wallet does not support Monero.
In search of a solution, cryptojackers find the site of a fake Electrum-XMR wallet, which was carefully placed on the network by the authors of this crypto scam, and which infects the computer of the "victims" with malware.
In fact, this attack is aimed at those who are trying to steal other people's money, but it can also affect a wider audience. It is important to remain vigilant and critically evaluate any offers related to crypto assets.
The main recommendations include the use of proven applications and sites for managing cryptocurrency, checking the sources of downloaded files, learning the signs of online fraud, and using antivirus software to protect against phishing and malware.
New crypto fraud schemes continue to appear day after day, so protecting your data requires constant attention. Subscribing to specialized blogs and channels will help you keep up to date with the latest threats.
