[BlockBeats] The on-chain phishing data for November is a bit unusual.
Total losses surged to $7.77 million, a 137% spike compared to October. Strangely, though, the number of victims was slashed by 42%—only 6,344 people fell for the scams.
What does this mean? Hackers are now targeting whales with precision. The most damaging case involved a phishing attack via permission signature, causing a whale to lose $1.22 million in one go. While the number of attacks has decreased, the average amount lost per victim has clearly increased.
It seems small retail investors’ money is no longer worth the hackers’ effort—they’re now focusing on whale wallets. High-value holders need to be especially cautious and avoid signing authorizations lightly.

A whale lost $1.22 million on a single trade... Damn, these hackers really know how to pick their targets, going straight for the big players. Retail investors actually end up surviving longer, haha.

$7.77 million in losses, but fewer victims? This is a classic case of a shift in the battlefield focus. Hackers have switched from carpet bombing to precision targeting, and the single case of $1.22 million shows that whale wallets have become the new supply line. The first rule of trading discipline is to be cautious with approvals, but unfortunately, large holders are often the most likely to get caught here.

$1.22 million per transaction—this hacker’s hunting skills have really leveled up. From farming small rewards to hunting whales, we really need to stay alert.
