Pi Network just mapped out a serial Pi scam wallet that’s allegedly draining multiple accounts on the Pioneers’ native chain. A network moderator has flagged the crypto wallet involved in counterfeit action, exposing the scammer’s plot.
According to the moderator this suspicious crypto wallet had stolen Pi Coin (PI) after unlocking, then split it into hundreds of other wallets to make it harder to keep track of the nature of these funds. As Pi Network’s Core team is implementing extra security measures, another Pioneer posted an example of this vicious cyberattack.
Fresh Security Measures Arrive On Pi Network
Despite Pi’s Core team emphasizing the importance of Pi Wallet security numerous times, some Web3 users get lured into faux airdrops. In one such instance, a victim received a fraudulent Pi’s 6th birthday message, asking the user to connect their wallet for the supposed instantly claimable crypto prize.
Surely, this campaign has a pretty dark plot twist, as all Pi Coins are immediately siphoned from the crypto wallet, leaving the victim’s digital pockets skint. As the user fills in the passphrase, all data & digital assets on-balance become vulnerable to unauthorized transfers to unlimited amounts of crypto wallets.
For the uninitiated, Pi Network’s team recently launched a fresh security update in the Pi Safety Center, which is only accessible via the official Pi Network app. This front-line tool against rising scams on Pi’s mainnet suggests using extra security precautions like the PassKey function, which uses device-level authentication, for instance bio-metrics or PIN codes.

A malicious wallet has been draining Pi coins from multiple user accounts during token unlocks, exploiting phishing scams and fake KYC links. Pi’s team is mapping out these wallets to block them, but users are losing funds.
Pi introduced a PassKey feature (bio-metric/PIN-based security) in their app to lock wallets and prevent unauthorized transfers. Moderators are also flagging scam wallets, and influencers like Woody Lightyear are warning users on X.
Scammers trick users into sharing wallet passphrases via fake KYC or airdrop links, especially during the Open Mainnet phase (launched February 20, 2025). Over 60M Pioneers are vulnerable due to lax security habits.
Enable PassKey in the Pi app, avoid clicking unverified links, and double-check wallet addresses in the Mainnet Checklist. Only use official platforms like MEXC or OKX for trading, and complete KYC properly.
Pi’s price is struggling at ~$0.35 (down 88% from its $3.14 peak), and scams raise red flags. But with 60M users and a $100M developer fund, it’s pushing for real-world use. Stay cautious—scams don’t mean it’s a bust, but do your research.
