30K Honeypot Tokens on Base: DRAINED $800K ⚠️ GoPlus detects a surge in "buy-only" honeypot token scams on #Base chain. Attackers exploit Base’s low gas fees to mass-deploy malicious contracts mimicking trending coins. Approximately $800K in illegal proceeds has been cashed out through CEXs including #Binance and #OKX. 🛡️Recommended Actions Always verify token contract addresses. Use GoPlus Token Security Check for risk screening. Avoid buying unverified trending tokens. 🔍 Illicit Operations Tracing Analysis Attackers use automated scripts to launch honeypot tokens mimicking trending coins. Sock puppet accounts create fake transaction volume to lure buyers. Scam contracts live minutes to hours before cycling funds to new addresses.
