As per the Tweet from TrustCheck, more than $300,000 worth of tokens were stolen through a phishing attack, in which users accessed malicious websites promoting BLUR token airdrop through their wallet.
Blur is the newly launched zero-fee NFT marketplace that gained the attention of NFT enthusiasts quickly, making it the largest NFT marketplace by replacing Opensea.
Blur is airdropping its tokens’ $BLUR’ based on various parameters in different waves, including trading activity and loyalty with their platforms. Last month, 10% of Blur’s total tokens were distributed in a second airdrop to users based on their trading activity.
After observing the platform’s exponential growth, many people rushed to collect $BLUR tokens. The hype of Blur has become an opportunity for perpetrators to promote scams through malicious websites.
According to data shared by TrustCheck, more than $300,000 worth of funds have been stolen from 24 scam websites since Feb. 15. Surprisingly, some malicious websites are still active.
The malicious website is camouflaged with a smart contract designed to transfer ETH from users’ wallets to the scammer’s website. However, the security firms like TrustCheck are raising red flags on this website after scams surfaced in the community.
Also, users should follow the instructions on Blur’s social media accounts on Twitter, Discord, and others to avoid such scams.
