Experts said that crypto -mesh attacks Phantom Wallet users using malicious pop -up windows, creating the appearance of real requests for “updating expansion”. After approval, potential victims are invited to introduce their CID-Fraz, having gained which attackers will gain full access to other people’s funds.
Previously, only malicious websites that simulate the Phantom interface were shown in pop-up windows. Therefore, SCAMSNIFFER security experts recommended users never to reveal their sid frazes to anyone, as well as updating extensions only through the web store available in the Chrome browser.
Experts shared several ways to check the pop -up windows for authenticity. Real pop -up windows of Phantom’s wallet are similar to system windows that can be turned, unfold and change size. Fake stuck inside the browser tab.
You can also click on the link with the right-button mouse-phishing pages usually turn off this function so that users can not check the URL. Real pop -ups Phantom do not limit this action. Users need to check the URL, as the real windows will display the prefix of the extension of Chrome: //, which phishing websites cannot fake.
Recently, SCAMSNIFFER researchers have found that in January, the losses of users of cryptocurrencies from phishing attacks were reduced by 56%-to $ 10.2 million. However, the owners of crypto assets still need to remain vigilant.
