Recent reports indicate a surge in cryptocurrency scams and hacks, with over $60 million stolen across six incidents this week. A notable incident involved a phishing attack on August 21, which resulted in $55 million in losses. The exploiter, identified by the Ethereum address eth:0x5d4b2a02c59197eb2cae95a6df9fe27af60459d4, has since converted minted DAI to ETH and divided the funds. In light of these events, multiple entities, including CertiK, AgentFi, and Talus Network, have issued warnings regarding fraudulent tokens and audits, urging users to remain vigilant against scams. CertiK specifically cautioned against a fake audit claim linked to the website meta-pro.space, asserting that they have no affiliation with the project and have not conducted any audits. Both AgentFi and Talus Network confirmed that they have not launched any tokens and advised users to avoid engaging with any such advertisements, emphasizing that any claims of token launches are scams.
