Looking at the latest anti-fraud report data, the situation of crypto phishing in 2025 has indeed shown significant improvement. According to Scam Sniffer's statistics, the losses caused by phishing scams this year dropped from $494 million last year to $83.85 million, a decrease of 83%. The number of victims also decreased from about 330,000 to 106,000, a reduction of 68%.

This trend looks promising, indicating that the overall security awareness in the ecosystem is improving. However, the report also points out some new hidden risks—risks become more apparent with market fluctuations. A closer look reveals that during the market rebound in the third quarter, losses actually peaked. This shows that when everyone is optimistic and trading actively, it’s easier to fall into scam traps.

Even more concerning is that after the Pectra upgrade, some new scam techniques targeting EIP-7702 have begun to emerge. While technology advances, risks are also escalating. This reminds us that fraud prevention must be a regular practice, especially during periods of market activity and new feature launches, when vigilance should be heightened.

83% decline is indeed outrageous, but I still don't believe it. I feel like the data might be inflated. The market rebounds and gets cut the most, this is the fate of retail investors. I haven't figured out the new tricks of EIP-7702 yet, and now there's another scam? So annoying. Preventing scams is easy to say but hard to do. Who doesn't want to prevent them? The time when the third quarter was most profitable is actually the easiest to fall for scams. When will this broken law change? Every time a new feature launches, it's a phishing feast. I've decided to stay poor. Wait, the losses dropped from 490 million to 84 million. Is this account real? They promised the ecosystem would become safer, but now there's a new scam. Are you guys racing against us?

Hey wait, such a sharp decline in data... Is it really that people have become smarter or are scam groups losing their vitality? I find it hard to believe. When the market rises, people tend to get carried away, and that hasn't changed. Friends who got caught last year are probably now PTSD. Pectra upgrading with new tricks? Looks like I need to update the Chrome extension again. So annoying, endless. I've always said that anti-fraud is an eternal theme. The newer the technology, the more elaborate the scams. This arms race has no end. Wait, could the 83% figure be due to a change in the statistical scope? Take a closer look at how it's defined.

An 83% drop sounds great, but the Q3 rebound caused the biggest losses? That's ridiculous, it shows that when the bull market arrives, people's minds don't work well. As soon as the new feature launched, scammers appeared. I need to study the EIP-7702 set after Pectra; this wave of technical upgrades essentially gives scammers new tools. Preventing scams really requires constant vigilance, especially when the market is hot, and it's easiest to let your guard down.

An 83% drop sounds cool, but I still lack confidence... Every time the market is hyped up, there are new tricks, and this time EIP-7702 is back again.

An 83% drop sounds great, but the scam wave in Q3 was actually the fiercest? It shows that people tend to get careless once they start making money. The new feature launch is actually the high-risk period for scams; remember this trick. After Pectra's upgrade, there's a new scam... so the newer the technology, the more pitfalls there are, right? The data looks good but is hard to defend against; it feels like this arms race is endless. Scammers are really quick to follow trends; new tricks appeared on the same day as the upgrade.

Is the 83% drop real? It feels like some people are still paying the IQ tax. --- When the market rises, people get cocky. Serves them right for getting caught. --- Wait, how does this new scam EIP-7702 work? Need to study it so I don't fall for it. --- Phishing attempts have decreased, but new tricks keep coming. These scammers are really good at innovating. --- Hitting a new high in Q3, huh? The bigger the rise, the more active the scammers. Remember that. --- Normalizing scam prevention sounds good, but you still need to use your brain.

Is an 83% drop really true? It still feels like a lot of people got caught when Q3 market started to pick up. New features need to be handled with extra caution; scam teams have definitely already studied things like EIP-7702 thoroughly. Everyone gets anxious when the bull market arrives, and that's when things are most likely to go wrong. The data looks good, but you still need to be vigilant and not click on everything. After Pectra, I have to learn new scam prevention tricks again—it's really annoying. Seeing the 83% drop is satisfying, but I still don't believe the ecosystem is truly safe.

An 83% drop sounds exaggerated, but a bull market can rebound instantly, the real test is still to come. When the market rises, people's minds go haywire, that's human nature, everyone. You'd better quickly learn about the new scam method EIP-7702, or you'll get cut again. Such a large decline makes me more cautious; I always feel that scam teams are upgrading their equipment. In other words, the more money there is, the more creative the scammers become, making it hard to defend against. New feature launches are basically a carnival for scam teams, remember that. It looks safe, but it's probably just the calm before the storm.
