According to Cointelegraph, cybersecurity firm SentinelLABS has uncovered a widespread scam involving aged YouTube accounts used to promote a crypto trading bot that conceals a malicious smart contract. This scam, active since at least 2024, spreads through YouTube videos shared on social media, offering tips and smart contract code to deploy a crypto trading bot. Alex Delamottea, a senior threat researcher with SentinelLABS, detailed the scam in a report released on Tuesday. The scam operates by adding the attacker's wallet to the smart contract, disguised as a trading address. Once the victim funds the contract, the scammer gains access to drain the funds. Victims are encouraged to deposit at least 0.5 Ether (ETH), valued at $1,829, to cover gas fees and ensure substantial profits. Delamottea's investigation revealed varying degrees of success for the scammers, with one wallet receiving 7.59 ETH, another 4.19 ETH, and a third holding 244.9 ETH, collectively worth over $939,000. The same wallet was observed across multiple weaponized smart contracts, although many unique addresses are in use, making it unclear how many actors are involved. The YouTube accounts used in the scam are older, with a history of posting crypto news, investing tips, or pop culture content to enhance credibility. It remains uncertain whether the bad actors created these channels or purchased them, as old YouTube channels are available for sale online. Delamottea noted that several videos appear AI-generated, facilitating the creation of multiple scam videos without adopting new identities. Negative comments are deleted, and testimonials in the comments section falsely claim personal profits from the bot. Savvy users are turning to platforms like Reddit for additional context. Delamottea emphasized the increasing prevalence of such scams, urging crypto users to exercise caution with trading tools promoted through unverified social media or video content. To defend against these scams, traders are advised to avoid deploying code promoted through influencer videos or social media posts, especially those promising quick, easy profits. Thorough research and validation of the tool's functionality are crucial before deployment, and anything promising effortless gains should be approached with skepticism.

ETH正在经历BTC 2017年的时刻，华尔街开始支持ETH，ETH未来会像比特币在过去5年那样实现阶跃式增长。

According to Cointelegraph, sentiment among cryptocurrency market participants has shifted to a more optimistic outlook following a modest increase in the prices of several major cryptocurrencies over the past 24 hours. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, a popular measure of market sentiment, rose to the "Greed" level on Thursday, scoring 60 out of 100. This marks a recovery from a "Neutral" position the previous day, reflecting the market's volatile nature as Bitcoin (BTC) recently fell to $112,000 over the weekend, just weeks after reaching an all-time high of $123,100 in mid-July. The return to "Greed" on the index coincided with a 1% rise in Bitcoin's price over the past 24 hours, with the cryptocurrency trading at $114,298. This slight price increase, coupled with the improved sentiment, suggests that market participants are viewing the modest gains as a potential sign of stability in the near term. Onchain analytics firm Glassnode reported on Wednesday that profit-taking among Bitcoin Short-Term Holders, defined as those holding for less than 155 days, has "cooled off," indicating a possible shift in market dynamics. The broader cryptocurrency market also experienced upward movement. Ether (ETH) saw a 2.37% increase over the past 24 hours, trading at $3,664, while XRP (XRP) rose by 2.14% to $2.97, and Solana (SOL) gained 3.26% to reach $167.38. Analysts have expressed optimism about Bitcoin's potential for a "bullish breakout." Michael van de Poppe, founder of MN Trading Capital, commented on social media platform X that Bitcoin is "back to resistance and consolidates here," suggesting that this phase could lead to a bullish breakout. Crypto trader Galaxy noted that the last time Bitcoin experienced similar volatility was in November, prior to its climb from around $70,000 to $100,000 by December 5, following U.S. President Donald Trump's election victory. Meanwhile, another crypto trader, Ted, predicted that Bitcoin could soon reach new highs of $125,000, which would trigger $18 billion in liquidations.
