It appears that Bitcoin ordinals marketplace ‘Ordswap’ was hit with a malicious phishing attack on Saturday, with some users reporting that they may have lost funds. Ordswap is a platform that allows users to buy and sell the order of Bitcoin transactions, which could be used to influence the price of Bitcoin.
The phishing attack, which is believed to have exposed user credentials and private keys, targeted Ordswap customers with fake emails asking them to click on a link that appeared to be ordering Bitcoin. Those who clicked on the link inputted their Bitcoin wallet details on a fraudulent website, allowing the hackers to siphon money from their accounts.
The Ordswap team has identified the attack and is working to refund affected users. In an announcement on medium, they urged users to take measures to protect their accounts from such attacks, such as using two-factor authentication and avoiding clicking on links in emails.
The incident is a reminder of the importance of taking steps to protect oneself from phishing attacks when using any platform dealing with cryptocurrency. As anyone can deposit or withdraw funds with an Ordswap account, there is a risk that other users of the platform may also be vulnerable to similar phishing attempts.
We take this incident very seriously and take appropriate measures to make sure our user accounts are securely protected.
