Pi Network scam Wallet exposed! Community alert upgraded, launching PassKeys to enhance security.

With 60 million users, Pi Network is facing a Crisis of Confidence as a scam Wallet linked to multiple token theft cases has been exposed, triggering heightened alert in the community. The core team has urgently launched PassKeys and a security center to strengthen Wallet protection and is performing a comprehensive upgrade of ecosystem security before the upcoming second token migration.

Fraud Wallet Exposed, Community on High Alert

Recently, a Pi Network moderator revealed on the X platform that a malicious Wallet is suspected of exploiting the account unlocking feature to steal user Tokens and disperse assets into multiple small Wallets to cover its tracks.

Scope of Impact: Involves multiple cases of Pi Token thefts

Community Response: Several opinion leaders, including well-known member Woody Lightyear, have urged users to be vigilant against fake websites and malicious links.

Security Concerns: Highlighting the Vulnerability of New Users in Decentralized Ecosystems

PassKeys and Security Center Launch

To counter increasingly sophisticated scam tactics, the Pi core team has launched the PassKeys feature in the official application:

Security Mechanism: Replacing traditional passwords with device-level verification such as biometric recognition and PIN codes.

Protection Effect: Reduce the risk of phishing and password leakage.

At the same time, the Pi Security Center becomes the first line of defense for users:

  1. Provide verified official communications

  2. Practical steps to guide users in protecting their assets.

  3. Provide channels for reporting suspicious activities

The second token migration is imminent

Pi Network is preparing for a possible second token migration to address the issues of referral rewards and unverified balances left over from the first migration.

Current situation: Out of 60 million users, only 16 million Wallets have completed the migration, approximately 44 million Wallets remain in a tentative state.

New measure: KYC process expedited, new users can be exempted from the 30-day waiting period.

Controversy: The three-year lock-up period starts only after migration, and some users are concerned that full unlocking may take as long as ten years.

Price and Market Reaction

Despite the lively discussions in the community regarding security and migration messages, the price of Pi Token has reacted tepidly:

Current Price: Approximately 0.3468 USD

Daily Increase: +1%

Volatility: It has remained in a narrow oscillation range since the listing on Onramp Money.

Conclusion

The Pi Network exposed a fraudulent wallet incident on the eve of the second token migration, highlighting the dual challenges of user asset security and platform trust. The launch of PassKeys and the security center provides stronger protection for the ecosystem, but the controversy surrounding the 44 million un-migrated wallets and the long lock-up period remains a core issue that the Pi community urgently needs to address.
