<p class="is-style-lead">In an Oct. 31 post on X, ZachXBT called out Strike, the global money app, for misleading users.</p> 
<p>Strike initially responded with a quote from TheBlock claiming that there was no evidence that it was involved in a data breach.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="attempted-phishing-scams">Attempted phishing scams</h2> 
<p>In the post, the anonymous blockchain sleuth shared that five or more people received phishing emails over the weekend to emails that were associated with Strike. These emails have proven to be dangerous as a method for scammers to steal passwords, account numbers and other personal information.</p>
