<p>Zero-transfer scams are phishing attacks where hackers manipulate transaction data to deceive victims into transferring funds to fraudulent addresses. The specifics of how the zero-transfer scam operates still need to be clarified. Still, it typically involves tricking users into believing they engage in legitimate transactions, only to redirect their assets to the scammer’s <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/wallets" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">wallet</a>.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="hackers-new-strategy-registering-over-500k-domains">Hackers’ New Strategy: Registering Over 500k Domains</h2>
<p>In a related development, cybersecurity experts have reported that hackers have registered over 500,000 domains using algorithms designed to facilitate extensive cyber attacks. These domains are often employed in phishing schemes, the distribution of malware, and various other fraudulent activities.</p>

<p>Phishing attacks have become increasingly prevalent, where malicious actors impersonate trusted entities to steal sensitive information or funds. The vast number of newly registered domains allows hackers to masquerade as reputable organizations, making it challenging for users to discern legitimate sites from fraudulent ones.</p>
<p>The recent attack on the BNB Chain is a stark reminder for users to exercise heightened vigilance when conducting transactions online. While secure in design, Blockchain networks are not immune to sophisticated cybercriminals’ tactics. Users are advised to double-check transaction details, avoid clicking suspicious links, and use additional security measures such as multi-factor authentication.</p>
