Scam Sniffer reported $12.2 million lost to address poisoning scams in January 2026, following $50 million lost in December for a two-month total of $62 million. Signature phishing thefts reached $6.27 million, affecting 4,741 victims—a 207% month-over-month rise. Analysts suggest reduced transaction costs from Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade have made such scams more frequent.
