Kerberus’ Alex Katz: Why Psychological Attacks Are Web3’s Biggest Risk – And How to Stop Them

Alex Katz, CEO of Web3 security firm Kerberus, asserts that psychological factors like rushing or greed are the primary cause of crypto wallet drains, despite evolving attack methods like NFT exploits and airdrop scams. Kerberus's Sentinel3 browser extension provides real-time phishing protection, safeguarding over 250,000 users without losses by evaluating transactions before they are signed, covering both EVM and Solana chains. Katz warns that malware is the next major threat, leading Kerberus to develop a crypto-specific antivirus. Ultimately, he believes long-term adoption requires a "secure by default" experience where security rails are baked in, making it simple for non-technical users, while maintaining proactive defense layers alongside hardware wallets.
