DALLAS, Texas, April 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As Web3 rapidly evolves, so too do the threats facing consumers and institutions alike. In response, BankSocial\u00ae has deepened its commitment to real-time protection and financial recovery through its growing Secura™ platform\u2014developed in collaboration with Hedera and supported by key partners like Chainalysis, Google, IBM, and law enforcement globally.<\/p>\n

With over $250M in scams traced and more than $20M in assets recovered, BankSocial\u00ae Secura™ is helping redefine what proactive, transparent digital asset security looks like.<\/p>\n

From a Security-First Mission to Global-Scale Action<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Founded in 2021, BankSocial\u00ae and the BSL DAO LLC prioritized security from day one. Early innovations included smart contract-based freeze and recovery mechanisms\u2014now standard-setting features that foreshadowed the need for stronger protective infrastructure in Web3.<\/p>\n

That foresight became critical in early 2024. BankSocial\u00ae\u2019s investigative efforts uncovered broader vulnerabilities affecting wallets across the Hedera ecosystem\u2014and eventually, beyond, to other chains. What began as an internal security response became a global movement.<\/p>\n

Community Leads, Secura™ Scales<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Scam victims\u2014many completely outside of BankSocial\u00ae\u2019s ecosystem\u2014began reaching out for help. Rather than turning them away, BankSocial\u00ae scaled its operations, connecting victims to law enforcement, legal advocates, and trusted ecosystem partners.<\/p>\n

The result: frozen assets, tracked \u201cbad actor\u201d identities, coordinated takedowns, and dozens of scams dismantled. BankSocial\u00ae became a critical point of coordination for law enforcement across the U.S., EU, Asia, and Australia.<\/p>\n

Monitoring and Disrupting Scams in Real Time<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

In 2024, BankSocial\u00ae launched a proactive fraud-monitoring initiative using AI, ML, and distributed ledger technology (DLT). The platform began tracking phishing sites, scam tokens, and HTS memo abuses across the Hedera, XRP, Bitcoin, Ethereum and many other ecosystems\u2014many of which dated back to 2022 and had gone unreported.<\/p>\n

Evidence surfaced of widespread misinformation, user suppression, and targeted harassment aimed at silencing scam victims. BankSocial\u00ae countered with transparency, escalation, and open-source intelligence collaboration.<\/p>\n

A Breach\u2014and a Catalyst<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

In September 2024, a wallet associated with the BSL DAO LLC was compromised.  BankSocial\u00ae responded urgently and took immediate action \u2014engaging law enforcement, beginning a forensic investigation with Kroll, and escalating the incident to ecosystem leaders.<\/p>\n

The breach was traced to third-party malware and social engineering tactics. Independent reviews by security teams, including experts from The Hashgraph Association, confirmed BankSocial\u00ae\u2019s internal systems were secure and untouched.<\/p>\n

Insider Discovery & Ecosystem Vulnerabilities<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

By early 2025, the investigation had traced key wallet behaviors, funding sources, and malware deployment back to a set of rogue developers active in the Hedera ecosystem. This actor had worked across multiple projects and was later tied to exploit funding wallets used in major thefts.<\/p>\n

After submitting these findings to the FBI, Secret Service, and global law enforcement, the individual deleted all known accounts in January 2025.<\/p>\n
