🚨 URGENT Phishing Alert: DuckDuckGo Ranks Fake Etherscan Sites!
If you use DuckDuckGo to search for "Etherscan," watch out! Users are falling victim to phishing attacks that steal your crypto by posing as legitimate Etherscan websites. Instead of the real Ethereum block explorer, scammers are setting up fake sites to swipe your funds.
Here’s how it works:
- The fake sites prompt you to connect your MetaMask wallet.
- Once connected, hackers can drain your wallet without further permission!
- Recent Case: A user unknowingly signed a phishing request and lost over $520,000 in crypto. Sadly, this type of scam has cost users about $63 million in August alone!
Key Tip: Always double-check URLs before connecting your wallet. Hackers are getting sneaky, even using legitimate search results and ads on DuckDuckGo, Google, and Bing to trap users.
Scammers are growing bolder, targeting Web3 and DeFi spaces. Remember: If the link looks sketchy, don’t connect! Stay vigilant, crypto fam!
