kirilm.eth became a victim of phishing and lost 180 million BEAMS
LookOnChain recently reported that Kirill.eth, an address associated with Convex Finance, fell victim to a phishing scam yesterday, February 15, which resulted in the loss of 180.25 million BEAM, the Beam network's own cryptocurrency.
According to the data provided by Lookonchain, the kirilm.eth address lost $5.14 million worth of BEAM, which aroused interest. It is noteworthy that the scammer quickly sold the acquired BEAM for 1,629 ETH, as a result of which the market price plummeted. The data provided by LookOnChain showed a 7% drop in the price of the token after the sale by the scammer BEAM, which caused bearish thoughts about the token.
In addition, the data provided by Coinglass once again reflected this opinion, showing a 10.47% drop in open interest in the token. A drop in prices coinciding with a drop in open interest signals a downtrend in the market. However, the jump in volume noted by Coinglass data hints that the market may be ready to enter a consolidation phase.
Meanwhile, Trading View data confirmed that the drop occurred after phishing and selling BEAM for ETH.
At the time of writing, the price of BEAM has fallen by 9.34% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $0.02675. The significant drop demonstrated by the token occurs primarily as a result of phishing fraud with it.
