Chainalysis points out that social engineering attacks have become the main cause of cryptocurrency fund losses, accounting for about 65% in 2025, with global fraud losses totaling approximately $17 billion. The six common methods include phishing, identity impersonation, SIM hijacking, pig butchering scams, AI scams, and airdrop giveaways. AI scams have a single-profit of about $3.2 million, roughly four times that of traditional scams; the FBI received about 22k related complaints in 2025, with losses of approximately $893 million.
