16/06/2024 17:23

According to Odaily, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a warning about impersonation scams, which often use the names and titles of 'government employees'. The alert from CISA clarified that its staff would never request for money transfers, whether in cash, cryptocurrency, or using gift cards. In addition, Phil Larratt, the Investigation Director at Chainalysis, explained that scams continue to pose a significant threat to the entire crypto ecosystem, generating at least $4.6 billion in revenue in 2023. The warning from CISA and the insights from Chainalysis highlight the ongoing challenges in the cybersecurity landscape, particularly in relation to cryptocurrency transactions. The alert from CISA is a reminder for individuals and organizations to remain vigilant against potential scams, particularly those that impersonate government officials or agencies. The significant revenue generated by scams in 2023 underscores the scale of the problem and the need for continued efforts to enhance security measures and awareness.
