In a recent development tracked by PeckShieldAlert, a prominent cryptocurrency whale identified by the address “0x2154…9382” has managed to recover a significant portion of the funds lost in a phishing attack. The user initially lost approximately $6.91 million worth of $LQIDETHFIV1 tokens after falling victim to a phishing scheme involving a Permit signature just 24 hours ago.
Recovery and Ransom Transaction
The whale received 1,415 $LQIDETHFIV1 tokens from an address marked as “Fake_Phishing328653,” indicating a partial recovery of the stolen assets. In an unexpected twist, it was also reported that the victim sent 362 Ethereum (ETH) to the scammer’s address, suggesting a possible ransom payment to retrieve the stolen cryptocurrency.
This incident underscores the ongoing risks within the digital asset environment, where phishing attacks threaten security and asset integrity. Investors must exercise caution and verify all transaction details to avoid similar scams.
