Scammers are actually buying ad space now.
For one fintech client we found more than 50% of the threats we've flagged were paid, targeted Meta campaigns impersonating a payments brand that millions of people trust.
1,392 taken down so far after just one month of our threat detection. Every one looked legitimate enough to scroll past or click without a second thought.
User trust is essential for fintech brands like this. And it’s the exact reason why scammers impersonate them.
At the @Web3To Conference today, with awesome panel discussions and great conversations with builders shaping the digital asset space⚡️
Great to have @dennis_chain representing ChainPatrol and connecting with the community.
Always good to see Toronto's Web3 community come together 🤝
Major industry news acts as a catalyst for malicious actors to launch new campaigns and templated emails. These events are used as triggers to catch users off guard with urgent demands, such as immediate account migrations.
To effectively protect users, companies must integrate brand protection into their communication strategies. Success in this area requires close collaboration between security and marketing teams to identify and stop these evolving attacks.

🚨 Soccer fans: impersonators are using official-looking World Cup branding to target fans online.

🚨 Your paycheck could be stolen from a Google search.
A threat group dubbed "Payroll Pirates" is buying malicious search ads that place fake login pages above the real ones. Click the ad, hand over your credentials (and sometimes your live session via an adversary-in-the-middle proxy), and attackers log into your HR portal and reroute your direct deposit.
In payroll diversion attacks, it's also common for attackers to create inbox rules that hide the confirmation emails, so you don't notice until payday.
What helps:
→ Use phishing-resistant MFA (FIDO2 / passkeys). Push notifications and one-time codes can be proxied.
→ Type your payroll URL directly or use a bookmark. Never click a sponsored result.
→ Re-check your direct deposit settings after any login that felt off.
Search ads are now a phishing delivery channel. No phishing email required.
A quick note on security:
Rest assured, we've been taking action against the impersonators and malicious accounts.
We work with leaders in the security space like @ChainPatrol to help us continuously monitor and address these threats.

Highlights from our time at @EthCC in Cannes, France! We had an incredible experience connecting with the community on the floor and discussing the future of crypto beyond 2026.
A major highlight was the premiere of our documentary, Lights in Dark Rooms, which explores scam compounds and human trafficking while supporting local NGOs working to repatriate victims and raise awareness. We also had some deep dives into the future of DeFi and operational security.
Huge thanks to the builders we spoke with:
- @KyeGomezB from @swarms_corp on building agent marketplaces.
- @griffgreen on bringing back TheDAO as a security fund.
- @PabloSabbatella founder of @opsek_io on the importance of operational security audits.
