Scammers share crypto keys aiming to steal from wannabe thieves: Kaspersky

December 24, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Kaspersky says scammers are targeting digital thieves, baiting them with keys to loaded-up crypto wallets and swiping any crypto added to pay fees.

Scammers are pretending to be naive crypto users who post the seed phrase to a loaded-up wallet online in a scheme that swipes crypto from those trying to raid it.

“Scammers have invented a new trick — they post crypto wallet seed phrases in YouTube comments using newly created accounts,” cybersecurity firm Kaspersky analyst Mikhail Sytnik said in a Dec. 23 blog post.

The researcher found comments in finance-related videos from users asking how to transfer Tether (USDT) from a crypto wallet to another wallet, which shared a seed phrase.

Bitcoin’s bottom slowly erodes as whale wallets increase by 3%

September 23, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Bitcoin

The number of wallets with less than $10 in BTC swelled by 75% in the same period but cryptocurrency’s middle class shrank.

The number of Bitcoin (BTC) wallets containing 1,000 or more BTC has increased by nearly 3.5% over the past 52 weeks. This growth is accompanied by a 75% increase in the number of wallets containing 0.0001 or less.

On the surface, these numbers indicate growth at both ends of the spectrum. However, a categorical examination shows that Bitcoin’s middle class — those holding between one and ten BTC — appears to be shrinking.
