Blast’s normal withdrawal page works until 26 October. A withdrawal isn’t one click: start on Blast, prove on Ethereum after up to an hour, wait a one-day challenge period, then claim. Start on the last day and the claim lands after the page closes. Anything left on Blast?

An iPhone attack kit built from public code came with ready-made bait: crypto giveaways and fake “iOS update” pages. SlowMist says it only works on iPhones that missed updates. A web page can’t update iOS. Real updates live in Settings. Is Automatic Updates on for yours?

Hacken’s Q3 2026 report: 77% of the $1.18B lost to crypto hacks came through parts the last security review didn’t cover. Its example: Tectonic had four audits, none covering the settings the attacker used. When a project says “audited,” do you check what it covered, and when?

The FTC alleges a company selling “sextortion help” took at least $60 million from victims. The first steps that help are free: stop replying, block, keep the messages, report. Be wary of anyone who charges to “make it stop.” Where would you report a threat like this?

SlowMist warns of a fake “Ledger firmware update” page using the implant case as bait. It copies the Genuine Check, then shows “Update Now.” Real updates and checks start in Ledger’s own app. None asks for your 24 words. Has a wallet ever asked you to update through a link?

Brooklyn prosecutors took down 241 scam sites and 112 servers behind a crypto investment scam. The servers showed it also ran "recovery" offers to the same victims, weeks later. A stranger who knows your case is not proof of help. What would you check before trusting one?

MediaMarkt Saturn stopped selling Ledger devices after a customer in Germany reported an implant. Ledger also asked sellers in 7 Asian markets to pause. Ledger says it won’t call or DM you. How would you check that a message about your Ledger is real?

Ledger says the CryptoBilis implant read the 24-word recovery phrase off the device’s screen during setup, then sent it out over a mobile network. The phrase was new and made on the device. Setup checks couldn’t catch it. What do you check before trusting a hardware wallet?

A FOMO user lost about $48,000 without signing anything or typing a seed phrase, SlowMist says. A fake CAPTCHA had them drag a bookmark into the browser. Clicked on the signed-in app, it took the session of the built-in wallet. Have you checked your bookmarks bar lately?

Ledger says it’s contacting buyers affected by the CryptoBilis case. It also says it will never call you, DM you or ask for your 24-word recovery phrase. So a call or DM “from Ledger” is a red flag, whatever it knows about you. Where would you go to check?
