ChainCatcher news, OKLink released the October 2024 security monthly report, stating that the cumulative losses from on-chain security incidents across the network amount to approximately $181 million. Losses from phishing scams account for 23.94% of the total losses, totaling about $43.53 million. REKT incidents account for 35.92% of the losses, totaling about $65.32 million.On October 11, a user on Blast lost 15,079 fwDETH after signing a phishing "permit" signature, worth approximately $35 million. On October 16, multiple multi-signature wallets of Radiant Capital were attacked, with the attacker injecting malware into hardware wallets, compromising several developers' hardware wallets. The attack process was so covert that the front end of the Gnosis Safe multi-signature wallet displayed legitimate transaction data, while the back end was simultaneously signing and executing tampered transactions, ultimately leading to losses of about $58 million.In this month's security incidents, the methods of attack are constantly evolving. OKLink reminds users to be particularly vigilant against phishing attacks involving "permit" and "approve" authorizations on social platforms, as these types of attacks have occurred frequently this month. When performing on-chain operations, it is essential to carefully verify the receiving address and not to easily trust the addresses in transaction records, as they may have been replaced by hackers. For multi-signature wallets, it is crucial to strictly protect the security of private keys, and when handling emails related to crypto assets, carefully verify the sender's identity and the authenticity of the content, and learn to use Web3 on-chain tools to mitigate risks.

OKLink reminds users to enhance their security awareness and not to trust any unverified signature requests, especially when authorizing "Permit" or involving fund transfers; it is essential to verify the authenticity of the signatures. It is recommended to regularly check and revoke contract authorizations that are no longer in use to prevent malicious contract abuse. At the same time, securely store your private keys and mnemonic phrases, never disclose them to anyone, and avoid saving them through screenshots or on insecure devices. Security awareness is your strongest shield in the Web3 world.
