Alert | Phishing sites lure traffic through meme coin display pages, multiple traders fall victim to heavy losses.

September 16 - Recently, the meme coin market has been booming, with on-chain trading becoming increasingly active. However, as the market warms up, meme coin display pages have frequently been appearing with highly disguised phishing links. These "novel" attack methods have caused several battle-hardened traders to fall victim.

Crypto KOLs @insidecalls and @cladzsol recently revealed that while scanning chains daily, they clicked on a meme coin homepage, only to be met with a "cloudfare verification" prompt. After following the prompt to "complete verification," the victims' on-chain funds were stolen. Among them, @cladzsol lost approximately $600,000 in assets.

has found that on multiple recently popular meme coin display pages, their homepages all redirect to a "cloudfare verification" page, which is actually a phishing link. If users follow the prompts to execute operations, their computer systems will download and run malicious scripts, leading to asset losses.

This phenomenon is so widespread, it may be related to the lagging review processes of mainstream trading aggregation platforms like DexScreener. Currently, the display logic of relevant platforms is: directly referencing the "official website" or social media links filled in the token metadata. These fields can be updated by the token creator or those who later claim "community takeover." Hackers are exploiting this review loophole to turn meme coin display pages into new "fishing grounds" for phishing attacks.

reminds users that while scanning chains, it may be inevitable to click on unfamiliar links. If a "cloudfare verification" or other highly suspicious page appears, it should be closed immediately to avoid interacting with it and protect asset security.
