<p class="is-style-lead">Coinbase’s Base chain appears to be a target for scammers, with two of the top 10 largest single thefts occurring on the network, accounting for over 20% of the month’s total theft.</p> 
<p>Although crypto hacks saw a decrease in April compared to previous months, some networks are experiencing a surge in scam activity as scammers explore new avenues to lure victims onto new platforms. According to <a href="https://twitter.com/realScamSniffer/status/1787417269636915220" target="_blank" rel="">data</a> from Scam Sniffer, Coinbase’s <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/base/" target="_blank" rel="">Base</a> network, built on top of the <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/ethereum/" target="_blank" rel="">Ethereum</a> blockchain, witnessed a 145% surge in scam activity in April.</p>

<p>According to the blockchain intelligence firm, the Base network witnessed a nearly 1,900% surge in scammer activity since January, with approximately $170,000 stolen due to phishing scams. In April alone, nearly 90% of the stolen assets were ERC-20 tokens, the standard for tokens on the Ethereum network. Common phishing signatures such as Permit, IncreaseAllowance, and Uniswap Permit2 were responsible for significant losses, Scam Sniffer says.</p>
