#数字货币市场洞察 $BTC Whales Become Targets? November Phishing Data Reveals New Attack Trends



Here's an interesting phenomenon: last month, losses from phishing attacks in the crypto market soared to $7.77 million, a 137% jump from October. But guess what? The number of victims actually dropped by 42%.

What does this mean? Hackers aren't bothering to go after small fish everywhere anymore—they're targeting big whales directly. One unlucky person lost $1.22 million in a single incident—it's a shift from mass targeting retail investors to precision attacks on high-value accounts.

Regular users don’t need to panic too much. The data shows your chances of being targeted are actually decreasing. Now, attackers mainly focus on high-net-worth wallets, using various hidden authorization traps to hook big fish. Small accounts aren’t really on their radar.

A few practical tips:

Don’t panic just because of the numbers—stay calm. Double-check before signing any contract authorization, don’t mindlessly hit confirm. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket—use multiple wallets and diversify your storage.

You need to keep up with security—when attackers evolve, your security awareness needs to upgrade too. Guard your private keys, and you guard your funds. Market volatility is normal, but don’t let your wallet become the weak spot.

This wave of precisely targeting large holders is pretty ruthless; retail investors have become the "worthless" ones... On the other hand, small accounts dodging this bullet can be considered lucky.

Ha, so now hackers are starting to care about ROI too. They've given up targeting retail investors and are going after whales instead.

Oh no, it's another show of sniping the whales, while the small retail investors end up as outsiders. This move is incredible. 1.22 million in one go, that's really ruthless. But on the flip side, it also shows that our small wallets are actually safer now, haha.

Haha, this time the hacker is really optimizing their strategy, switching from casting a wide net to targeting victims precisely. Have small retail investors actually become the lucky ones?
