Common Incidents
Named after the unsettling practice of fattening a pig before slaughter, pig-butchering scams are among the most deceptive and damaging forms of cryptocurrency fraud today. Scammers gradually gain their victims' trust by posing as friendly advisors or potential romantic partners, only to manipulate them into investing substantial amounts in fraudulent crypto schemes. These fraudsters are skilled at fostering a false sense of security, persuading victims to invest increasingly large sums, and vanishing without a trace once they've secured the funds. At HashHunt, we are dedicated to combating these sophisticated scams and assisting both victims and law enforcement in overcoming the forensic and procedural hurdles these crimes present.
Compromised cryptocurrency wallets present a serious risk in the digital asset space, threatening the security and integrity of users' funds. These breaches occur when unauthorized individuals gain access to private keys or mnemonic phrases, allowing them to unlawfully transfer assets. Such incidents can arise from phishing scams, malware infections, wallet software vulnerabilities, or even the physical theft of credentials. Addressing each type of compromise demands a tailored approach for both prevention and response. Our investigative experts specialize in conducting in-depth forensic analyses to trace unauthorized transactions and uncover the methods used by attackers.
SIM swapping is a form of cybercrime where attackers gain unauthorized control of a victim's phone number by tricking the mobile carrier into transferring it to a SIM card they possess. Once in control, attackers can bypass two-factor authentication, access sensitive personal and financial accounts, and potentially empty cryptocurrency wallets and exchange accounts.
At HashHunt, we have extensive experience investigating SIM swapping incidents involving cryptocurrency theft. Our team employs advanced forensic techniques and blockchain analysis to trace stolen funds, identify perpetrators, and assist victims in asset recovery.
