Same scam, different medium. Nothing to see here.

Allow me to disagree.

I would guess that the typical Ethereum user is not a Peoria middle-aged housewife (with all due respect for all middle-aged hosewives of course) but rather someone deeply involved in the tech scene, possibly a programmer or however an up-to-date with modern technologies "advanced" user.

So the fact that a number of this "elite" can be seemingly easily scammed does represent IMHO some news.

Yet another phishing scam. Only targeted at ethereum users. Is it just or is such block chain wallets easier to steal from?

Phishing is of course not a vulnerability specific to Ethereum, but there is a frenzy of demand for it.
