LIGHTS IN DARK ROOMS. THE TRAILER IS LIVE 🎥 An investigative documentary that pulls back the curtain on the scam compound industry: the online fraud it runs on, the human trafficking that powers it, and the people taking action to shut it down.

ChainPatrol is headed to @ETHGlobal Hackathon in New York City (June 11–14). If you’ll be there, come say hi. Let’s talk Web3 security, share what you’re building, and connect with other teams keeping the ecosystem safer.

Scammers are now layering voice messages on top of fake delivery texts to impersonate Mondial Relay, so never click SMS delivery links and verify directly in the official app

And that's a wrap on our @ScamAlliance Summit Europe 2026🛡️ One idea kept coming up over these few days: scammers move fast because they share intelligence, so the people fighting them have to share faster. Fighting fraud is what we do every day at ChainPatrol, and this week was a reminder that we do it best together. Obrigado, Lisbon 🙏

Wrapping up a strong few days at Shoptalk Europe🛡️ We talked with retail and ecommerce leaders about protecting their brands and customers from impersonation, fake storefronts, and scams. Thank you, Barcelona 🇪🇸

The FIFA ticket bait is genuinely diabolical💀. Better to learn it from your own security team than from a real scammer😂

Awareness is the first line of defense. Deepfakes and voice cloning aren't a future problem. We see them weaponized in scams every single day. Glad to see this getting mainstream attention 👏

⚠️ A new wave of the Mini Shai-Hulud, Miasma & Hades supply chain attack is spreading through 23 malicious PyPI packages aimed at bioinformatics and MCP/AI developers. If you install one, it silently drops a credential stealer on your machine and CI/CD pipeline, then hunts for your secrets. What it steals: → GitHub, npm, PyPI, and JFrog tokens → Cloud and Kubernetes credentials → SSH keys, Docker configs, and .env files Why it's dangerous: the malicious code hides three different ways (startup hooks, trojanized native extensions, and a loader that pulls its payload from elsewhere), so reviewing the Python source alone won't catch it. It even includes a decoy comment designed to fool AI security scanners. Watch out for these (compromised real packages, typosquats, and lookalike bait): → embiggen, ensmallen, pyphetools → rsquests, tlask, rlask → fake LangChain/OpenAI/MCP packages What to do now: audit your environments for these packages, remove anything affected, and rotate any tokens that may have been exposed.

🚨 Scams are now a trillion-dollar global industry. This is the room fighting back. We are in Lisbon this week for the @ScamAlliance Summit Europe (June 9–10), alongside the people on the front lines of stopping fraud. Detecting impersonation and shutting down scams before they reach people is the whole reason ChainPatrol exists. If you're attending, see you there 👋
