[Phu Juck]

Recently, CoinMarketCap has been hacked. Hackers exploited Coinmarketcap's website and opened Popups, where customers had to verify wallets like MetaMask etc., which ist scam. Be very careful when you are visiting CoinMarketCap

CoinMarketCap confirmed its hack already and said to be very careful. Hackers managed to put up Popups, a phishing tactic, where customers were asked to enter wallet details, which was an exploit by hackers.

There was a previous thread discussing Coinmarketcap being compromised... Coinmarketcap was compromised

Fortunately Coinmarketcap has acted on this quickly so the wallet link pop-up is now back to normal.

And Coinmarketcap is fine now.

I haven't used CoinMarketCrap in years, ever since I understood Bitcoin and realized that all alternative coins are crap and scams. Instead, I use https://bitbo.io/  it's an excellent portal with various data and models.

A topic was already created on this issue on the 21st. This incident is not from today. So there is no need for multiple topics on the same information. You can locked this topic and discuss this in the previously created topic.

Coinmarketcap was compromised

This is the old topic BABY SHOES already provide here.

What do you mean ? CMC is not scam, it just attack by hackers and Hackers have used some tricks here to steal funds from users. However, CMC has already solved this issue. CMC is a very popular price tracking and token/coin information provider. How do you compare it to https://bitbo.io? I don't know about bitbo.

It has become a good idea always to try to post on current topics, so there is no point in posting again. It was a temporary problem, but later they solved all of the issues very quickly.

Maybe he didn't understand why he posted. In fact, there is no point in posting without current topics, so maybe he didn't understand. It is always surprising to see the incidents of hacking. Despite being so popular and having so much security, hackers hack it.

A few days ago I experienced it, when I tried to open the cmc site, there was a pop up that gave a command to connect or verify the wallet if I'm not mistaken, fortunately at that time I ignored it, and I thought at that time the cmc party was updating, so I moved to another similar site, namely coingecko. It turned out that it was an exploitation by hackers against cmc, and I just found out from what you said.

Usually when I find something like this, I usually verify it and make sure it's true through some of its official social media, but because at that time I didn't really need to just use the site, so I tried another site to check the crypto market activity. So, from this, again we need to be careful at all times and anywhere, especially when it comes to sharing the information we have, such as verifying the wallet on the cmc site, which we actually have to suspect that it is not required on the cmc site.

CMC is a very popular price tracking and token/coin information provider. How do you compare it to https://bitbo.io? I don't know about bitbo.

Bitbo only highlights about Bitcoin only, I just checked the site and they only focus on Bitcoin price movement, analysis, ATH, ATL, everything about Bitcoin is the service they offer.

I was just wondering how these hackers are tricking to just get money from people, since CMC is not an investment platform, then I have a thought that it could be done only by accessing ads business negotiations on CMC luring users to transfer to the own address while promising them to place their ads on CMC. I don't know, but something like this should be the purpose of hacks on CMC.

Although coinmarketcap is fine now and people who were not affected are well now, they are all good, it is untrue to say victims are well now. They could lose their fortune and now have been dealing with bad consequences, frankly I don't know what will happen next with victims.

It is important to know importance of diversifying your fund to different wallets, and don't use only one wallet brands. So if you are a victim of this Coinmarketcap accident, you would still be well now. Otherwise, I am sure victims who did not have proper fund management and also bad risk-avoiding practice, are in very bad situations now.

Let's well-prepared on security and enhance your practice.

CoinMarketCap recently had security issue where hackers put fake verify wallet pop-ups on their site to trick users into giving away their crypto. This is common phishing scam. It is important to never enter your wallet details or seed phrase into unexpected pop ups even on sites you trust.

And always check website address look for official alerts from  company itself and whenever you see any sudden request to connect your wallet so always assume it as scam. Staying aware is best way to protect yourself from these tricks. They will not stop they will find new way to scam but important is that we should always be careful.

It is not advisable to keep money other than in a wallet over which the owner has control.
It will only give a good impression that the compromised site has taken quick action so it's okay for the victims.

The intention of BABY SHOES is good as it just wants to convey to the op that this topic has already been raised so there is no need to create a new topic if the purpose of the topic is the same as this new one.
