Website / Social Media / Frontend Vulnerability Scan
Attackers scan websites for exploits in order to get victims on fake project websites or fake nft collections. Hacking front-ends of cryptocurrency projects allow attackers to inject scripts into the website in order to compromise API keys or to change links. A popular target for scammers and hackers is the social media account of a popular project or an admin of the project. In this case the attackers hijack the account of the project or an admin and post a fake announcement or message linking to a malicious (mint) contract or a fake collection.
