Hackers used a Louis Vuitton NFT phishing link to scam unsuspecting Beeple users, netting more than $70,000 in the process.
A Top10VPN study shows a rising rate of NFT scams globally, with the North American continent experiencing the highest rate of NFT scams.

The US secret service now has two subsidiaries – the National Crypto Enforcement Team (NCET) and the FBI crypto unit. The primary objective of this subsidiary is to tackle fraudulent activities in the US crypto space.
