Hackers are using Google Sheets to trick people into sending crypto to the wrong place
Criminals are tricking people interested in cryptocurrency into opening fake reports that secretly change copied wallet addresses, which can send money to the wrong person. The scam uses trusted web services to make the activity look normal and harder to notice.
Who is at risk
People who buy, sell, swap, or send cryptocurrency are most at risk, especially if they follow online tips, reports, or investment links from unfamiliar sources.
What to watch for
Watch for wallet addresses changing after you copy and paste them, unexpected prompts to click, fix, or run something in your browser, or crypto reports promising easy profits.
What to do
Before sending cryptocurrency, manually verify the full wallet address, avoid opening investment files or links from untrusted sources, and stop the transaction immediately if anything looks different than expected.
