GMX Wale verlor 3,4 Millionen Dollar durch Phishing-Angriff
GMX Whale wurde Opfer eines Phishing-Angriffs und verlor 3,4 Millionen Dollar in Form des GMX-Tokens des dezentralen Handelsprotokolls.
Ein Administrator der GMX-Gruppe auf Telegram bestätigte den Phishing-Vorfall und stellte klar, dass der Vorgang nichts mit Sicherheitsproblemen auf der Plattform selbst zu tun hatte. Auf die Frage, wie sie von dem Hackerangriff erfahren haben, sagte ein Moderator der Gruppe, dass das Team in direktem Kontakt mit dem Opfer gestanden habe.
Aus den Unterlagen zur Beweissicherung geht hervor, dass der Angreifer am 3. Januar begann, Geld aus der Brieftasche des Opfers abzuheben. Der Angreifer schickte GMX im Wert von etwa 3,4 Millionen Dollar an eine andere Adresse und tauschte es gegen Ethereum (ETH) ein, so die Sicherheitsanalysten von PeckShield.
Die gestohlenen Gelder wurden dann an das Hauptnetzwerk von Ethereum an eine Adresse überwiesen, die vermutlich dem Hacker gehört.
Derartige Phishing-Angriffe werden im Kryptosektor immer häufiger. Sie stellen ein ernstes Problem dar, da das Hinzufügen einer einzigen bösartigen Signatur zum Verlust aller in der Brieftasche gespeicherten Vermögenswerte führen kann.
