KOL @cladzsol Loses About $600K as Meme Coin Display Pages Use Fake Verification Links for Phishing

Odaily News: According to monitoring by @insidecalls and @cladzsol, several popular meme coin display pages have recently redirected users to phishing pages disguised as "cloudfare verification." After users follow the prompts, their computer systems download and execute malicious scripts, resulting in the theft of on-chain assets. The relevant display pages directly reference official website or social media links from token metadata, and these fields can be updated by token creators or by people who later claim to have taken over the community.

Circle public blockchain Arc mainnet launched 2 hours ago, USDC reached 372 million tokens

According to monitoring by Ai Yi, about 2 hours after the mainnet launch of Arc, the public chain under Circle, the total amount of USDC in the network has reached 372 million, accounting for approximately 0.05% of the total USDC supply, with the current total number of on-chain addresses being about 176,000.Previously, some users entered Arc across chains at an 80%-100% premium in USDC before the mainnet launch to participate in early Meme coin trading.

Phishing websites use meme coin display pages to attract traffic, resulting in significant losses for multiple traders

Recently, the meme coin market has been booming, and on-chain trading has become increasingly active. However, with the warming market, meme coin display pages have frequently shown highly disguised phishing links, and the "novel" attack methods have caused several seasoned traders to fall victim. Crypto KOLs @insidecalls and @cladzsol recently revealed that while scanning chains, they clicked on the meme coin homepage, which resulted in a "cloudfare verification" prompt. After completing the verification as instructed, the victim's on-chain funds were stolen. Among them, @cladzsol lost approximately $600,000 in assets.According to market news, on several recently popular meme coin display pages, the homepage redirects to a "cloudfare verification" page, which is actually a phishing link. If users follow the prompts, their computer systems will download and execute malicious scripts, leading to asset loss. This phenomenon is so rampant that it may be related to the delayed review processes of mainstream trading aggregation platforms like DexScreener. Currently, the display logic of relevant platforms is to directly reference the "official website" or social media links filled in the token metadata. These fields can be updated by token creators or those who later claim "community takeover." Hackers are exploiting this review loophole to transform meme coin display pages into new "fishing grounds" for phishing attacks. Users may inevitably click on unfamiliar links during the chain scanning process; if a "cloudfare verification" or other highly suspicious page appears, they should close it immediately to avoid interaction and protect their asset security.

Opinion: Three 'Sinners' Sank CLARITY, and Trump Is the Chief Culprit

Odaily News: Overseas crypto KOL Brady Dale posted on X that three people are to blame for the failure of the CLARITY Act.

The first culprit is Trump, whose sin is issuing a coin, making moral controversy the final core point of disagreement.

The second culprit is Republican Senator Tim Scott, whose sin is insisting on wasting the Senate's time crafting its own version, squandering the last remaining momentum that the earlier GENIUS Act had painstakingly built up.

The third culprit is Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis. I already felt last fall that this was doomed.

Li Hua Yi: The bull market trend has been established, choose to hold spot and observe

Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua stated that the essence of investment is to seek assets with certain upward potential, while the essence of trading is to find strategies that yield stable profits. In a market where profits can only be made through speculation, it is often the case that losses outweigh gains, making it more important to control greed and the mentality of taking chances in investment and trading.Yi Lihua believes that the current market trend indicates a confirmed bull market, but there are still risk factors such as interest rate hikes and legislation in the short term. Therefore, the choice is to hold spot positions and observe, rather than participate in short-term speculation.
