An unsuspecting cryptocurrency holder lost $4.46 million in a phishing scam.

The funds were withdrawn from Kraken and sent to an address linked to a fake Coinone crypto mining exchange.

This type of scam tricks victims into authorizing unlimited withdrawals from their cryptocurrency wallet.

Beware of these phishing scams!!

🤔 what could be the best solution or measures to stop all these scam stuff? I believe KYC is one big step to keep things in check with most top tier Exchanges like kucoin, OKX & Bitget keying into making it mandatory as it allows users to have exclusive access to some privileges like increase of withdrawal limit IMHO.
