A recent viral story shared by TikTok user Steve shows a new level of sophistication in phishing scams. Gone are the days of poorly written emails filled with grammatical and logical errors. Now, scammers have figured out how to mimic real customer support email addresses – in this case, from Coinbase itself. Voice Phishing – ‘Vishing’ Latest Scam Tool The scam follows a consistent pattern. The victim receives an automated voicemail from a U.S. phone number claiming to be Coinbase, warning of suspicious account activity. Then, the scammer makes a live follow-up call from a supposed Coinbase support team member, stating there has been an unauthorized attempt to change the victim’s email and phone number. The scam unfolds quite simply—while attempting to ‘stop’ the supposed unauthorized attempt, the scammers gradually build the victim’s trust and collect information. Eventually, often after multiple calls from different numbers and various ways of ‘confirming’ the scammers were legitimate, the phishing attempt reaches its peak, and the victim is asked for their wallet keyphrase. TikTok user Steve remained suspicious and recognized that asking for a seed phrase is the one inviolable law of crypto: ‘not your keys, not your crypto.’ Give up that seed phrase, and you no longer control your digital assets. But the mix of fear and urgency – stop the threat now! – can compel people to reveal information they would never share otherwise. Phishing Attempts Build Off Leaked Data Trust is built on information, and during interactions, scammers often refer to key personal data. They used his real name and email address obtained through leaked data to appear legitimate. Coinbase experienced several significant data breaches in the past, including a major leak of private information in May. The company estimates that social engineering scams cost them over $300 million annually. It also disclosed that personal data from as many as 97,000 users was exposed through bribed or compromised call center staff. Coinbase branding is also a key part of the scheme, with scammers using websites and emails that closely resemble the real ones. Fraudsters reportedly deceive users through cloned emails, spoofed caller IDs, PBX systems, and even pre-generated seed phrases. Private Keys, Non-Custodial Wallets Key to Defeating Phishing Scams In the end, never divulge your key phrase. And along with that, use a non-custodial wallet. Savvy crypto investors can protect themselves from most attacks by personally keeping your keys and not depending on a third party. Using a wallet with the most recent crypto security features is also important. Luckily, Best Wallet app offers MPC and biometric security – and is fully non-custodial.

Crypto analyst Lourenço has predicted that the Ethereum price could rally to $9,000 in this market cycle. This comes as ETH eyes a breakout against its BTC pair, which could spark a massive run for the crypto and other altcoins. Ethereum Price Eyes Rally To $9,000 This Cycle In an X post, Lourenço opined that the Ethereum price could rally to as high as $9,000 at some point in this market cycle. This came as he analyzed the weekly ETH chart. The analyst noted that, depending on how the trend on the upper side of the wedge is drawn, the altcoin may have already broken it with hard closes above. Related Reading: Ethereum Price To $20,000? ETH Is Mirroring Bitcoin’s Move From 2021 Lourenço declared that the $4,000 level is an important one and that once it flips into support, there will be additional resistance between $4,700 and $5,000. However, the analyst believes that the Ethereum price is ultimately set to go and tag between $8,000 and $9,000. He also indicated that the risk-return ratio on ETH is very hard to ignore at the moment. Crypto analyst Galaxy also echoed a similar bullish sentiment for the Ethereum price. In an X post, he said that there is a lot of potential upside for ETH on the BTC pair. The analyst noted that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is still bottomed and that, from his perspective, the trend is just beginning. His accompanying chart showed that the RSI isn’t in overbought levels despite the fact that the Ethereum price has rallied over 60% in the past month. Notably, ETH’s RSI had surged above 60 on previous highs, including when it reached its current ATH of $4,800 in 2021. The Key Is For ETH To Break Above $4,000 In an X post, crypto analyst Ted revealed that the key is for the Ethereum price to break above the $4,000 level. He noted that since the 2021 ATH, ETH hasn’t been able to reclaim the $4,000 level. However, if that happens this time around, he declared that the ETH pump will be “unstoppable.” Related Reading: Crypto Founder Reveals What Will Drive Ethereum Price To $10,000 His accompanying chart showed that the Ethereum price could rally to $5,200 in the short term. This will mark a new all-time high for the altcoin. Crypto analyst Merlijn also hammered on the $4,000 resistance. He noted that this has been the ceiling for ETH since 2021, and it has been rejected from this level seven times. However, the Ethereum price is again looking to break above this level. Merlijn remarked that this resistance isn’t just another resistance but the “gate to price discovery.” His accompanying chart showed that ETH could reach $11,000 between now and 2026 if it breaks this resistance level. At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $3,800, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
