Twitter Lists promoting crypto scams led to almost $870k in monetary losses in just one year. The team developed a detection system called GiveawayScamHunter, which spotted 95,111 scam lists made from 87,617 accounts on Twitter between June 2022 and June 2023. Over the period under investigation, just over half of the scam accounts were not suspended.
