49M Fake Accounts & Phantom Charges: The Week the Bots Got Busted 💥
This week on Crypto Weekly Recap, we’re cracking open one of the biggest cyber takedowns of the year — Operation SIMCARTEL, where Europol dismantled a global SIM-farm empire responsible for nearly 49 million fake accounts. From fake identities to bot armies, we break down how these operations fuel crypto scams across CEXs, DeFi, and social platforms.
Then we pivot to the ghost-tapping scam — the terrifying new NFC exploit letting criminals charge your card without even touching it. We’ll show you how it works, how it connects to the fraud economy, and what you can do to stop it cold.
In this week’s Market Security Spotlight, we put DEX Screener and DEXTools under the microscope — exposing the illusion of trust, paid boosts, and why visibility isn’t the same as vetting.
And finally, the 💯 HundredCoin Spotlight — showcasing real utility, staking perks, and two years of devs and diamond hands proving what it means to be built different.
Security first. Knowledge second. Profits third.
Because this week, the bots got busted — and the smart money stayed 💯.
