CoinMarketCap Removes Malicious 'Verify Wallet' Popup
Summary
CoinMarketCap removed a malicious popup notification that prompted users to verify their cryptocurrency wallets. The site confirmed the removal of the malicious code and is continuing its investigation to enhance security. Users reported the popup as a phishing scam aimed at stealing private keys or personal information. CoinMarketCap advised users against connecting their wallets and acknowledged the issue shortly after it was reported on social media. MetaMask and Phantom flagged the popup as unsafe, with Phantom users receiving warnings about the website's safety. This incident follows a previous hack in October 2021, which compromised over 3.1 million user email addresses. Further updates on the situation are expected.
