#fake 🚨 Beware of Fake
$AAVE Ads on Google! 🚨
A new phishing campaign is targeting crypto users by impersonating Aave, a leading DeFi platform. Fake ads are appearing at the top of Google search results, directing users to malicious websites designed to steal funds through harmful transaction signatures. 😱
These phishing sites mimic Aave’s UI and use deceptive domain names to trick users into connecting their wallets. Once connected, assets can be stolen without notice. 😡
🔐 Protect Yourself:
• Avoid accessing crypto platforms via search engines.
• Use verified URLs or saved bookmarks.
• Enable multi-factor authentication.
• Consider hardware wallets and never store seed phrases in the cloud.
This scam follows a wave of phishing attacks, including fake XRP airdrops and MetaMask-targeted ads in 2024. With 16B login credentials recently exposed (per Cybernews), phishing risks are higher than ever. Stay vigilant! 🛡️
