Phishing

A scam that tricks you into revealing credentials or signing malicious actions.

Explanation

Common vectors: fake airdrop pages, fake support, “verify wallet” prompts. Never share seed phrases.

Why it matters

  • A successful phish can drain funds or take over your account.
  • Phishing often looks “official” (logos, fake support).
  • One mistake can’t always be reversed.

Examples

  • “Support” asks for your password/2FA code.
  • A link says “claim airdrop” and asks for seed phrase.

Safety tips

  • Never share your seed phrase or private keys.
  • Check the domain carefully before logging in.
  • Use 2FA and be cautious with “support” DMs.
