FOMO users are facing a new phishing threat involving malicious bookmarks that hijack accounts. Attackers trick users into dragging JavaScript code into their bookmarks under the pretense of completing a CAPTCHA verification. Once activated, these bookmarks can drain crypto assets from the compromised accounts after a few clicks. Security researchers have documented the phishing pages and associated wallet addresses for investigation. Users are advised to be cautious and verify the legitimacy of authentication prompts on the FOMO platform. The phishing method exploits the growing sophistication of online threats, particularly in the crypto space. As of now, trading volumes on FOMO are reported to be at zero, indicating a potential decline in user confidence amidst these security alerts.
