everyone is well aware, but they target users off the chain and in private, so it is incredibly difficult to intervene in any way that doesn't foundationally break our ethos and tech backbone.

That being said, we're monitoring the creation of these accounts, have them being fed into a publicly available bad actors list hosted on our public repositories and I'm in direct contact with all of our CEX partners trying to convince them to disallow transfers on and off platform by any users on this list. CEXes are unfortunately incentivized to let people trade more than they are to block users based on what they believe is just the word of a centralized entity (our community, who is the list provider), so it's delicate negotiations. A few have already adopted it and we are working to try to get it spread to any who may list our assets but it does hinge largely on their internal processes, reviews, and policies.

Unfortunately, it's a lot like the people who see a spoofed telephone number and hear someone on the other end who knows their name and some of their personal details scraped from a breach or social media and end up convinced it's their bank. Scammers are going out and meeting the users where they are and getting between them and the blockchain itself, which makes it pretty hard to tackle. We're trying to build better ways to unravel their plans though!
