AI-Generated

The domain abstract.rest has been identified as a phishing site that impersonated Wallet Connect, aiming to exploit users' sensitive information. With a VirusTotal detection score of 16/95, this domain raised significant red flags in the cybersecurity community. Scamadviser also expresses caution with a trust score of 56/100, indicating potential risks associated with this domain's activities.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam.
