Huge Potential Crypto Scam Avoided - Quick Thinking Saved Wallet Users from Losing Millions In Crypto Investments

Date 04/05/2022

Large-scale cryptocurrency scams have become increasingly common in recent years, with a new multi-million-dollar case hitting the news almost weekly. In April 2022, the fraud detection team at CoinLoan caught and helped put a stop to what could have been another massive scam. After a team member received an email containing a link prompting them to download what seemed to be the latest version of Trezor Suite, the individual noticed that the linked domain was in fact a fraudulent copy of the Trezor website. The attached download was programmed to steal the seed phrase associated with their unique wallet. The team at CoinLoan then got to work, first reporting the IP address to ensure that it and any following fraudulent domains were swiftly taken down before sending a report of the malicious wallet software binaries to VirusTotal, an online service that analyzes suspicious files for malware and automatically shares them with the security community. These quick actions by the CoinLoan fraud detection team quickly and effectively prevented hackers from gaining access to hundreds, if not thousands, of Trezor wallet users.
