 JPEG’d, a peer-to-peer non-fungible token (NFT) lending platform, has issued a critical alert to its users regarding a significant upsurge in phishing campaigns and the emergence of a dangerous revocation tool that poses a serious threat to digital assets.
 <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
 It has come to our attention that scammers are targeting <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24JPEG&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$JPEG</a> holders claiming false approvals on phishing contracts and linking to a malicious revocation tool. The current name they go under is “Trojansec”.
 Please do not interact with them or any contract that you are unsure…

Web3 enthusiasts frequently employ these revocation services to revoke previously granted access permissions to decentralized applications (dApps). According to the warning message from JPEG’d, malicious actors have initiated numerous fake platforms imitating legitimate revocation services. Their primary goal is to deceive users into approving transactions, which in turn allows them to steal NFTs and cryptocurrencies from unsuspecting victims’ wallets. This tactic seems to be the latest in a series of phishing attacks targeting the cryptocurrency community in recent times. These phishing attempts have targeted prominent figures, including the well-known hardware wallet manufacturer Trezor.
