CoinMarketCap, one of the most widely used crypto data tracking platforms, is reportedly facing a front-end security breach, with multiple users encountering a suspicious prompt to verify their wallets.
According to early reports, visitors to the site are being redirected or shown a fake verification message that encourages them to connect their wallets.
Security experts warn that interacting with the prompt could lead to users unknowingly granting access to their funds—effectively draining their wallets.
For now, it’s advised that users avoid accessing CoinMarketCap until the situation is resolved.
The issue appears to be restricted to the platform’s front-end interface, meaning attackers may not have full control over its backend infrastructure or database.
The site has not yet issued an official statement, but cybersecurity circles and crypto users on social media are actively spreading warnings to prevent further losses.
