ZachXBT Calls Canada the World's Most Dangerous Region in Terms of Cryptocurrency Fraud

Blockchain investigator ZackXBT has ranked Canada as the worst jurisdiction globally for victims of cryptocurrency crimes, placing it above countries like the UK, India, Nigeria, and Algeria. He criticized Canadian law enforcement for routinely refusing to act even when presented with substantial evidence of crimes, such as complete dossiers on ransomware operators or home invasion robberies. ZackXBT highlighted Toronto as a global hub for fraud and cited instances where authorities seized assets from innocent users on platforms like Tradeogre. Due to this perceived inaction, he has stopped assisting Canadian victims and plans to block access to his support services for low-quality jurisdictions on his upcoming website. He also criticized Indian authorities as "incompetent" and noted the UK's second-place ranking in his list of poor-performing regions.

Blockchain Sleuth ZachXBT Refuses to Help Hacked Harmony Project for Free

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT has publicly refused to offer free assistance to the Harmony project following a recent hack where an attacker minted approximately 4 billion new ONE tokens, representing about 26% of the total supply. ZachXBT cited Harmony's failure to reward volunteers who helped track hackers after the $100 million Harmony Bridge exploit by North Korean actors in June 2022. Despite the volunteers' help leading to asset freezes and law enforcement seizures, Harmony only offered verbal thanks. In a tweet, ZachXBT stated he would not be investigating the new incident and believes no one should assist Harmony for free. He emphasized that without proper bug bounty and reward programs, security researchers lack incentive to help, making blockchains more vulnerable. The investigator recently identified an American woman, Tiffany Milanovich, as being involved in a separate $5 million crypto theft through phishing schemes.

"Exposed by Braggadocio": ZachXBT Reveals Identity of Scammer Who Stole $5M from Crypto Investors

On-chain investigator ZachXBT has exposed the identity of US citizen Tiffany Milanovich, a member of a group that stole at least $5 million from cryptocurrency investors through an elaborate social engineering scheme. The fraud involved sending fake, alarming emails impersonating crypto services, followed by phone calls where Milanovich, posing as support staff, calmly instructed victims to enter their seed phrases into phishing panels, leading to complete asset drainage. The group's downfall stemmed from their own pride. Milanovich recorded mocking calls with victims, boasted about stolen funds in private Telegram chats, flaunted cash and casino balances, and even gambled victims' funds live. This digital trail, alongside evidence like a leaked search warrant and connections to other criminals like "Lick" (John Daghita), left a comprehensive paper trail. ZachXBT compiled the evidence—including call recordings, chats, and on-chain data—and submitted it to US authorities. The case highlights a major shift in crypto threats from code exploits to psychology, with social engineering now causing the majority of losses. The irreversibility of crypto transactions makes such psychological attacks particularly devastating.

Pudgy Penguins Co-founder ColeThereum Sells 44,444 NFT on Robinhood Chain Platform

Cole "ColeThereum" Willemen, co-founder of Pudgy Penguins, sold out a collection of 44,444 NFTs called Spritehood Wisps on the Robinhood Chain platform for over 684 ETH (~$1.28 million). This sale marks his return to the NFT space. The sale drew criticism from some in the crypto community, who labeled it a "cash grab" or a "hidden launch" that was initially advertised as free. However, others noted the floor price had increased. Willemen has a controversial history. In 2022, he was ousted from Pudgy Penguins by holders over allegations of misusing project funds. Previously, blockchain researcher ZachXBT highlighted issues with Willemen's pre-crypto dropshipping business. He also launched the "My Fucking Pickle" NFT collection, whose value has plummeted. The Pudgy Penguins project was later sold and successfully rebranded into physical toys. The Spritehood Wisps collection currently has a floor price of around $35, with 5.2% of the supply listed for sale.

ZachXBT Reveals Identity of Cryptocurrency Scammer Involved in $5M Theft

ZachXBT, a blockchain investigator, has identified Tiffany Milanovich as a threat actor linked to at least $5 million in cryptocurrency thefts. Milanovich's scam involves impersonating customer support staff from centralized exchanges or hardware wallet services, tricking victims over the phone into granting access to their funds. Her associate, using aliases like "bled" and "harm," creates phishing websites mimicking login pages for crypto services. When victims enter their credentials, the criminals gain access to their wallets. In one June incident, a victim lost $1.2 million in Bitcoin and Ethereum from a Trezor hardware wallet after being tricked by a fake representative. ZachXBT notes that Milanovich publicly boasts about her illicit gains on her Telegram channel, mocking victims and flaunting luxury purchases and casino bets funded with stolen money. She was exposed after her associate, John Daghita (previously implicated by ZachXBT in a $46 million theft), leaked her real name online following a dispute.

Is Using an iPhone as a Cryptocurrency Wallet Effective?

The article discusses the suitability of using an iPhone as a cryptocurrency wallet amid heightened security concerns, including fears of quantum computing decryption and recent exploits like the Coldcard hardware wallet breach. Security investigator ZachXBT suggested in Telegram that a dedicated, older iPhone could be a viable alternative to specialized hardware wallets, though he noted this approach isn't for everyone. Roman Storm, a key developer of Tornado Cash, acknowledged the idea but highlighted a critical limitation: the lack of a unified mobile wallet application supporting the BIP39 passphrase feature. This optional security layer adds a word or string to a standard seed phrase to create a hidden wallet. Storm argued that a core security threat—someone physically accessing your device at home—remains unaddressed by simply switching to an iPhone. He urged mobile wallet providers to implement BIP39 support. The article notes that dedicated hardware wallets like Trezor, Keystone, BitBox, BitBox, and Coldcard already support BIP39, giving them a current advantage. Representatives from Keystone and Trezor's Danny Sanders added that iPhones, as general-purpose devices, come with more features and potential attack surfaces, requiring significant technical knowledge and strict security discipline to use safely as a wallet.

ZachXBT Refuses to Track $88M Coldcard Hack

Well-known blockchain investigator ZachXBT stated on X that he currently has no plans to track or investigate the Coldcard hack, which has resulted in losses of approximately $88.6 million. He cited a focus on ecosystems that value his work and noted a lack of support from Bitcoin maximalists for his investigations. The attack exploited a firmware flaw in Coinkite's Coldcard Mk3 hardware wallets (versions 4.0.1 to 4.1.9), causing some devices to generate guessable seed phrases. The hacker, potentially using automated tools or AI, drained funds from thousands of inactive addresses in multiple waves starting July 30th. Coinkite's incident response sparked separate controversy when the company emailed customers using addresses stored indefinitely, contradicting prior claims about data deletion policies. This has damaged trust in self-custody solutions. With ZachXBT stepping back, tracking the stolen 1,367 BTC falls largely to firms like Galaxy Research. The vulnerability may affect seeds generated over the past four years, requiring users to upgrade firmware and generate new seeds for safety.

ZachXBT Calls Hardware Wallets “Complete Garbage,” Labels Ledger the ‘Worst’ Crypto Wallet

Blockchain researcher ZachXBT criticizes hardware wallets, labeling them "complete garbage" and specifically targeting Ledger as the worst, arguing their frequent software updates increase security risks rather than enhancing safety. He points to major hacks, like a fake Ledger app stealing $9.5 million and a social engineering attack costing over $282 million, as evidence that threats often target user behavior, not the hardware itself. As an alternative for experienced users, ZachXBT suggests using a dedicated, factory-reset iPhone for crypto storage, citing Apple's Secure Enclave and app sandboxing. However, he acknowledges that smartphones, as online devices, cannot match the isolation of traditional cold wallets.

MemeCore Token Crashes As ZachXBT Warning Puts Insider Supply Back In Focus

MemeCore's M token experienced a severe crash, plunging over 70% in a single session. This sudden sell-off revived concerns highlighted by on-chain investigator ZachXBT regarding tokens with concentrated insider supply and thin liquidity. The incident underscores the fragility of many memecoins, where large paper valuations can vanish quickly when selling pressure hits illiquid markets. It also brings exchange listing standards into question, as listings can imply a legitimacy not supported by the underlying token structure. The crash serves as a stark warning for traders that social traction and high market capitalization do not guarantee resilient liquidity, emphasizing the risks inherent in high-beta crypto assets.

$10M Gone: Thorchain Exploit Triggers Security Fears Across DeFi

Blockchain tracker Arkham Intelligence has identified wallets linked to a THORChain exploit, holding approximately $3 million in Bitcoin and 216 ETH. On-chain investigator ZachXBT first reported the suspicious activity, estimating total losses now exceed $10 million. The attackers moved assets like USDT, USDC, and wrapped Bitcoin across multiple chains before converting to ETH. The cross-chain trading protocol was hit simultaneously on Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Base. Security firm PeckShield confirmed the breach. Following the news, THORChain's native token RUNE dropped nearly 14%. The project's team had not issued a public statement at the time of reporting, increasing market anxiety. This incident highlights the recurring vulnerability of cross-chain infrastructure in DeFi, where complex code can create significant security risks. The stolen funds remain in the identified wallets for now.
