A counterfeit Ethereum layer-2 network branded as GIWA deceived 1,335 users into depositing about 767.65 ETH into a fake bridge, resulting in a loss of approximately 766.25 ETH. The fake network launched on September 26 and mimicked legitimate infrastructure but was not an official mainnet, which GIWA confirmed is still under development. DYORSWAP, a related platform, has reimbursed over 200 ETH to affected users and is investigating the operators and fund destinations.
