Specter says three separate crypto thefts topped $40 million last week

On-chain sleuth Specter said three separate incidents last week involved more than $40 million in stolen crypto, with each victim losing sums in the eight-figure range. The comment, cited by ChainCatcher, points to a week in which fresh capital was entering the market even as familiar attack methods remained active. Specter said social engineering, phishing links and wallet-draining scams are still ongoing, a mix that continues to expose users who are not closely tracking security developments. Specter also framed wallet safety as part of the investment process rather than an afterthought. His advice was straightforward: keep up with new attack cases, wallet exploits and phishing campaigns, and if you are not active on Crypto Twitter or security forums, at least follow one reliable source that posts ongoing security updates. The warning highlights that market activity and theft risk can rise at the same time.
