We recommend Torus for first-time users.A research report by web3 security specialists Forta Network and Blockfence detailed how a scam operation targeting Ethereum users known as"sleepdropping" has resulted in losses totaling $11.5 million since it was first spotted in December 2022.

According to Forta Network and Blockfence, over half a million addresses have been recipients of these misleading token airdrops. Currently, more than 20,000 users have been confirmed to have fallen victim.In one documented instance, users received a sham Lido NFT token, presenting itself as a"badge" to claim an airdrop.On its own, the NFT doesn't compromise a user’s wallet.

"A savvy user might review the transfer in more detail and see that the token is being transferred from the legitimate Lido: Early Stakers Airdrop account," Forta said in the report."This is a deception the scammer executes by taking advantage of the implementation of ERC token contracts."
