AI-Generated

The domain whitelist.blockchain-nexo.io was utilized for phishing attacks impersonating Blockchain.com, aiming to deceive users into providing their credentials. With a high VirusTotal detection rate of 17 out of 95, this domain was flagged as malicious and posed a significant risk to users attempting to access the fraudulent site.

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. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →
