Protect your crypto assets from the most common attack vector. Learn to identify phishing attempts and safeguard your investments.
Crypto phishing is a sophisticated form of social engineering where attackers impersonate legitimate services, exchanges, or individuals to steal your cryptocurrency. Unlike traditional hacking, phishing exploits human psychology rather than technical vulnerabilities.
In 2025, crypto phishing scams resulted in over $1.5 billion in losses. Once your crypto is stolen, it cannot be recovered due to the irreversible nature of blockchain transactions. Your only protection is prevention and awareness.
Scammers use various channels to reach their victims. Learn to recognize each type.
