$PEPE Gains Momentum Amid Strong Buying Activity, While Holder Loses $1.39M In Phishing Scam

$PEPE has been making waves recently, emerging as one of the top tokens accumulated by Smart Money (SM) and a favorite among Smart Dex Traders (SDTs) over the past 24 hours.

The recent buying volume from both groups has been notably strong, signaling increased confidence in the token’s potential.

After retesting a broken resistance level, $PEPE’s price surged over 21%, reinforcing its position as a gem among traders in the crypto space.

$PEPE Holder Falls Victim Of Phishing Scam, Losing $1.39 Million 

However, amidst the bullish sentiment, a shocking incident has highlighted the risks lurking in the crypto world. A $PEPE holder recently fell victim to a phishing scam that exploited Uniswap’s Permit2 feature, a tool designed to allow users to approve multiple tokens with a single signature. The scam resulted in the loss of $1.39 million in assets, including $PEPE, MSTR, and APU tokens, which were swiftly transferred to a new address just an hour after the attack.

This incident serves as a harsh reminder of the growing threat of crypto scams, particularly those leveraging sophisticated features like Permit2. Users are urged to remain vigilant when signing transactions and to verify the authenticity of any approval requests. The increasing frequency of phishing scams underscores the importance of heightened security measures in safeguarding digital assets.

While $PEPE’s market activity remains positive, with strong signals from smart traders, the phishing scam is a stark cautionary tale for all crypto investors. The need for caution, especially when interacting with decentralized platforms, cannot be overstated, as the loss of assets can happen swiftly and unexpectedly.
