BTC crash was no accident: Bitcoin’s price chart warned of potential weakness

Want to check on Bitcoin’s latest price moves? Just pop over to CoinMarketCap 
and… enter your wallet info? On June 20, 2025, visitors to a number of major 
crypto sites, including CoinTelegraph and CoinMarketCap, were prompted to 
connect their crypto wallets before accessing the site. The pop-up was a hack, 
a wallet-stealer designed to siphon information away from users. CoinMarketCap 
users can create accounts and connect wallets to track their portfolios, so 
the pop-up itself might not have seemed entirely out-of-place. Users quickly 
uncovered the hack, and affected sites moved rapidly to limit the damage. The 
incident highlights a new potential vulnerability in the growing crypto 
ecosystem. With such attacks, phishing can occur even on trusted platforms. 
What Wallet? Hacks Exploited Common Wallet Connectivity Features The incident 
involved the injection of malicious JavaScript code into CoinMarketCap’s 
homepage. When unsuspecting users visited the site, they were greeted with a 
realistic-looking ‘Connect Wallet to Verify’ popup, mimicking standard Web3 
wallet connection prompts. Users who clicked the popup and approved the 
transaction gave attackers full access to their wallets. The CMC hack 
reportedly had 39 victims with over $18K in losses. The script was since 
removed, and CMC has patched the vulnerability. Cointelegraph Also Targeted 
Just days later, on June 23, Cointelegraph, another prominent crypto news 
outlet, faced a similar attack. In this case, attackers managed to compromise 
an ad-serving network, injecting code that produced a fake token airdrop popup 
promoting a nonexistent ‘Cointelegraph token&#8217; or &#8216;CTG.&#8217; The popup redirected 
users to a phishing site designed to harvest wallet signatures. Once again, 
users who interacted and signed the transaction lost access to their funds. 
Cointelegraph quickly issued a warning across its social media channels and 
disabled the malicious script. Both the CMC and CT hacks are part of a growing 
category of crypto hacks focused on compromising wallets. Per CertiK’s 
quarterly report, these attacks produce the largest losses (over $1.450M in Q1 
2025 alone). Wallet compromises are not as successful as other attacks, 
ranking last by incident count. But when they work, hackers can make off with 
vast amounts quickly. Vigilance and Knowing the Warning Signs: Key to Avoid 
Losses Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) took to X and warned 
users to ‘be careful when authorizing wallet connect.’ Both the CMC and CT 
hacks used pop-ups, one for a simple wallet connect prompt, and one for a 
purported crypto airdrop. Cointelegraph&#8217;s official account also posted a 
warning, urging users to not click the pop-ups, connect wallets, or provide 
their personal information. Crypto airdrops and crypto presales are often used 
by legitimate projects to develop early interest and generate buzz about new 
projects, making such phishing attacks more convincing. Scammers create fakes 
in order to encourage investors to give away wallet information. The supposed 
project or token – in this case ‘CTG’ – never existed. How do investors stay 
safe? Avoiding any unexpected or unusual pop-ups, even from trust sources, is 
a first step. And when it comes to the crypto ICOs and presales, it&#8217;s 
important to get your info from trusted sources. This is where a new solution, 
Best Wallet, stands out. This new app is the only Web3 wallet with a presale 
directory where you can browse only audited, secure presale tokens. The wallet 
also employs Multi-Party Computation technology, protecting your key from 
phishing attacks and hacks. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) – The World’s First and

part of the crypto economy. And the Best Wallet Token ($BEST) is here to

Web3 The recent front-end Cointelegraph and CoinMarketCap hacks mark a 
dangerous new phase in crypto security threats. Unlike traditional hacking 
methods that target backend systems or databases, these exploits weaponize the 
user interface, where trust is assumed but rarely verified. Secure Web3 
wallets like Best Wallet can go a long way towards mitigating such growing 
risks. As always, do your own research before investing or choosing a crypto 
service provider. This article isn&#8217;t financial advice.
