What happened?
Phishing, fake wallet, malware, bridge exploit, exchange incident, approval drain, SIM swap, or recovery scam.
Security Timeline
Crypto incidents should become prevention lessons.
This timeline framework organizes wallet drainers, fake apps, phishing campaigns, bridge exploits, malware, exchange incidents, and recovery scams by source proof and user safety lesson.
If a wallet, seed phrase, exchange account, or device may be compromised, stop sending funds, disconnect approvals, preserve evidence, and use official support channels only. Nakamoto does not recover funds.
