Report: Social Engineering Scams Remain the Biggest Threat to Cryptocurrency Users in 2025

By: theblockbeats.news|2025/10/30 16:15:54

BlockBeats News, October 31st, WhiteBIT released a report stating that social engineering scams remain the top threat faced by cryptocurrency users. The report shows that this year, 40.8% of cryptocurrency security events involved scammers deceiving victims through fake investment opportunities or impersonation. Technical wallet attacks (such as phishing, malware, or keyloggers) accounted for 33.7%.


Furthermore, messaging platforms, especially Telegram, were also called out, with over 10% of scams involving so-called "scrolling scams," where users are led into fraudulent channels. "While technology-based attacks are crucial, most threats target human behavior. This is why proactive defense is essential."

This proactive defense not only includes using two-factor authentication or relying on secure wallets and exchanges but also entails never sharing sensitive data and carefully verifying URLs to ensure all interactions occur only on official platforms.


This finding echoes the industry's overall concerns. A Certik report stated that in just the first half of 2025, cryptocurrency crime caused losses of nearly $25 billion, while Chainalysis highlighted the Bybit hack, believed to be orchestrated by the North Korean Lazarus group, as the largest theft in cryptocurrency history, totaling $1.5 billion.
