My latest Scam encounter

My latest Scam encounter


I was recently contacted by an account claiming to be CEO of Scoil_App. I did some due diligence and here’s what I found from their own docs and from a CrowdStrike‑owned malware analysis platform’s public blog. Make your own judgment, this is not a legal accusation.

According to its own docs, “Scoil” is a social networking app built on the Blast blockchain, with decentralized identity and token rewards for posting, engagement, referrals, etc. On paper, it sounds like a typical Web3 social project.

When I dug deeper, I found a threat‑intel write‑up from Hybrid Analysis about an organized group targeting Web3 users with fake apps. (Towards the bottom in Mapping the infrastructure)

In that report, they list “AppScoil (X)” and “ScoilApp (GitHub, GitBook, linktree)” as part of the infrastructure around a malware campaign.

I also found a blog post from a developer who was approached in a very similar way: praised their hackathon project, offered a role and salary, then pushed them to install a custom “meeting” app that looked shady.

They ultimately decided it was likely a scam attempt and documented everything.

To be clear I am not saying everyone behind any “Scoil” account is definitely malicious. I’m not making legal claims about specific people. I’m just sharing what I found so you can decide for yourself and be careful with unsolicited offers + custom downloads.

Here is my general advice. Be wary of cold DMs offering quick money or roles. Don’t install random DMGs/EXEs just to “join a meeting”. Keep your main wallet machine as clean and boring as possible

Stay safe out there everyone 💪
