Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino and CoinGecko co-founder and COO Bobby Ong have both issued warnings about a compromised email vendor.

Tether 首席执行官 Paolo Ardoino 和 CoinGecko 联合创始人兼首席运营官 Bobby Ong 均对电子邮件供应商遭到入侵发出警告。

“One email vendor that services multiple crypto companies has been compromised. Please be aware of phishing emails, especially those promoting airdrops or new token launches,” Ardoino Tweeted on Monday.

“一家为多家加密货币公司提供服务的电子邮件供应商已受到损害。请注意网络钓鱼电子邮件，尤其是那些宣传空投或新代币发布的电子邮件，”Ardoino 周一在推特上写道。

The identity of the vendor is yet to be disclosed as investigations are still ongoing. However, several digital asset service providers that utilize the vendor’s services have been notified and advised to warn their users.

由于调查仍在进行中，供应商的身份尚未透露。然而，一些使用该供应商服务的数字资产服务提供商已收到通知并建议向其用户发出警告。

The vendor's services are used by several crypto companies, and users are being warned of phishing email scams that will likely promote fraudulent airdrop distributions or token launches.

该供应商的服务已被多家加密货币公司使用，用户会收到网络钓鱼电子邮件诈骗的警告，这些诈骗可能会促进欺诈性空投分发或代币发行。

"Several crypto companies may be affected via email blasts of fake token launches. There is no CoinGecko token being planned so don’t be duped by the phishing emails,” Ong said in a Tweet on Monday.

“一些加密货币公司可能会受到虚假代币发布的电子邮件爆炸的影响。CoinGecko 代币没有计划中，所以不要被网络钓鱼电子邮件所欺骗，”Ong 在周一的推文中表示。

The issue of phishing attacks targeting the crypto space is not new. In January, several company emails, including those of Cointelegraph, Trezor, Token Terminal, and WalletConnect, were hijacked. Last November, Nansen customers reported receiving phishing emails after a third-party vendor leak. Earlier this year, scammers hacked domain registrar Namecheap and targeted MetaMask users with malicious emails.

针对加密货币领域的网络钓鱼攻击问题并不新鲜。一月份，包括 Cointelegraph、Trezor、Token Terminal 和 WalletConnect 在内的多家公司电子邮件被劫持。去年 11 月，Nansen 客户报告称在第三方供应商泄密后收到了网络钓鱼电子邮件。今年早些时候，诈骗者攻击了域名注册商 Namecheap，并向 MetaMask 用户发送恶意电子邮件。

In May, a cryptocurrency trader lost $69 million in a sophisticated “address poisoning” scam. Scammers create fake accounts mimicking the victim’s online crypto address and send small amounts, hoping the victim accidentally sends money to the fake address later.

5 月份，一名加密货币交易员在一场复杂的“地址中毒”骗局中损失了 6900 万美元。诈骗者创建模仿受害者在线加密地址的虚假账户并发送少量资金，希望受害者稍后不小心将钱发送到该虚假地址。

Cryptocurrency-related scams, including “pig butchering” scams, are becoming increasingly prevalent and costly for investors. At the end of last year, United States authorities were able to recover about $500,000 worth of assets lost to pig butchering scams.

与加密货币相关的骗局，包括“杀猪”骗局，对于投资者来说变得越来越普遍且成本高昂。去年年底，美国当局追回因生猪屠宰骗局损失的价值约 50 万美元的资产。

In mid-March, Massachusetts prosecutors also took some steps to return $2.3 million worth of digital assets seized from fraudsters to pig-butchering scam victims.

3 月中旬，马萨诸塞州检察官还采取了一些措施，将从欺诈者手中扣押的价值 230 万美元的数字资产返还给屠宰生猪诈骗受害者。

In an attempt to alleviate the issue, leading tech companies and crypto exchanges have recently formed the ‘Tech Against Scams’ alliance to combat the growing problem of online fraud and financial schemes, such as pig-butchering scams. The alliance aims to share expertise, raise awareness, and develop best practices to protect users from scammers who exploit new technologies like AI and cryptocurrencies.

为了缓解这一问题，领先的科技公司和加密货币交易所最近成立了“科技反诈骗”联盟，以应对日益严重的在线欺诈和金融计划问题，例如杀猪诈骗。该联盟旨在分享专业知识、提高认识并制定最佳实践，以保护用户免受利用人工智能和加密货币等新技术的诈骗者的侵害。
