NFT protocol JPEG’d alerted community members to malicious actors targeting holders of its token as phishing scammers continue to target crypto and DeFi operators.&nbsp;
The P2P non-fungible token (NFT) lending platform JPEG’d posted a notice on X following numerous complaints from users citing phishing campaigns and a booby trap revocation tool. These services are typically employed by web3 users to clear out access previously given to decentralized applications.
Bad actors launched a number of malicious platforms mimicking genuine services per the update from JPEG’d. The goal is to secure transaction approval before draining NFTs and digital assets in the wallet.&nbsp;
