The decentralized exchange and staking platform MonoSwap advised users not to stake or deposit funds at this time due to a serious security issue that was revealed on July 24, 2024.
The company made a post on X about this breach, asking players to stop staking and adding money, as well as to take everything they have out right now to prevent any losses. This alert, which advised users not to click with a specific harmful link, was sent in response to a malicious hack that MonoSwap discovered in a social network post.

On July 23, 2024, a developer installed a phishing program by mistake and fell for a call from con artists acting as venture capitalists, which resulted in a security breach.
During the chat, the fraudsters infected the developer’s machine with malware, which allowed them access to MonoSwap’s wallets and contracts. As a result, the majority of the platform’s staked liquidity was taken by the hackers.
MonoSwap is researching the breach at this time and speaking with venture funders to resolve the issue and regain confidence. The platform expressed recognition of the incident’s seriousness and its commitment to finding a solution.
Bobby Ong, the COO and co-founder of CoinGecko, recently alerted users to the rise in cryptocurrency breaches and that they exercise caution. According to him, the increase in assaults was caused by Google selling its domain business to Squarespace, which removed two-factor authentication and left security holes.
Onchain detective ZackXBT informed the public that visitors to Compound Finance’s website were being sent to a phishing website. Since then, the problem has been fixed.

The Lazarus hacker organization based in North Korea is thought to be connected to the attack.
The MonoSwap hack underscores the growing security risks in the crypto industry. Users are advised to remain vigilant and follow security best practices to protect their assets.&nbsp;
