You can still access your wallet, see your tokens, and yet every new deposit disappears within seconds. This isn't a bug in the app. An automated script is manipulating your key. Here's how it works, how to recognize it, and what you absolutely shouldn't do.

You confirmed something on a website that seemed harmless. Shortly afterward, tokens or NFTs are missing. Not a hack, not a security breach, but an authorization you yourself granted. Why this happens so easily and what can really help now.

A person claiming to be a blockchain employee will contact you and promise to recover your lost money. This is technically impossible and explains how to react correctly.

After the scam, someone contacts you claiming to have found your money. This is now the most dangerous moment. Why the second scam often follows just days after the first, how to recognize it, and what you should do before paying anything.

First the loss, then the summons: After a crypto scam, victims are increasingly finding themselves targeted by investigators. As an unwitting money mule, you become a suspect, and you also face a civil lawsuit from the actual victims. We show you how this second wave works and how you can prove that you were deceived.

An unknown incoming payment of 0.00000001 Bitcoin seems harmless, but it can be the starting point of a dust attack. Using a fictional example, we'll show how attackers can reconstruct an entire wallet cluster from this, why it later becomes a phishing attempt, and what simple steps you can take to protect your privacy and your coins.
