According to Deep Tide TechFlow news on May 24, as disclosed by Slow Fog's Chief Information Security Officer @im23pds on X platform, a Crypto Assets user fell victim to an "withdrawal verification code" eyewash, suffering a loss of up to 1.1 million dollars.



The eyeflash method is as follows: the victim receives a text message disguised as a trading platform, claiming that someone has applied for a withdrawal verification code, and provides a phone number for contact. When the victim calls back, the scammer claims that there is a security vulnerability in the system and that security restrictions need to be implemented. Subsequently, another scammer impersonates an employee of Ledger and calls, luring the victim to visit a phishing website under the pretense of resolving security issues, ultimately leading to the theft of assets.

This case reminds Crypto Assets users to stay vigilant, not to trust unknown text messages and phone calls, to be wary of phishing websites, and to protect their personal asset security.
