- Fake Cloudflare checks have targeted meme-coin traders with malicious computer scripts.
- One trader has reported losing about $600,000 in the attack.
- Attackers have placed phishing links in meme-coin website fields.
Meme-coin traders have been targeted by fake Cloudflare pages that ask users to run malicious scripts.
One trader, @cladzsol, has reported losing about $600,000 after interacting with one of the pages.
The fake checks have asked Windows users to run a script with administrator access on their computers.
The attacks have used website fields linked to newly launched meme coins to reach potential victims.
Traders may open these links while checking new tokens, project websites and social media accounts.
The method differs from common wallet-draining attacks because victims are asked to run computer code instead.
Security warnings have urged traders to close any Cloudflare page that asks them to execute commands or scripts.
