Protect Your Pi Wallet: Critical Safety Reminders
In Open Network, it’s more important than ever to prioritize the security of your non-custodial Pi Wallet and Pi. The immutability of blockchain means that mistakes in sharing your wallet passphrase with bad actors or phishing sites may result in irreversible transactions. Therefore, taking the right precautions now is essential.
Do NOT interact with any website, app, or platform that asks you to input your Wallet Passphrase that is not EXACTLY “wallet.pinet.com” in the Pi Browser. Doing so may irreversibly risk your entire Pi balance. Remember that the Pi Browser is a browser, like any other browser such as Chrome, Safari, etc., so it’s ultimately up to the individual Pioneer to determine the safety and legitimacy of the sites and URLs they visit.
To aid Pioneers in distinguishing fake wallets, the authentic Pi Wallet is also visually identified by a purple color in the navigation bar of the Pi Browser with a Pi logo featuring the Core Team apps logo. If a scammer creates a fake “Pi Wallet” that tries to phish Pioneers’ wallet secret passphrase, they won’t be able to modify the app URL or the associated UI of the Browser that the official Pi Wallet will have.
Be especially careful on social media for fake websites, misleading ads (as in ads to fake websites), fake email addresses, and other places where malicious actors can give Pioneers false impressions and false information.
Your wallet passphrase is private and should NEVER be shared. Remember that no Pi Core Team member will ever solicit ANY authentication account information (like wallet passphrases, account passwords, verification codes, etc.) from you. Pi Core Team members will never individually call Pioneers, and Pioneers should never submit information in platforms, websites, or apps NOT listed as official Pi apps and products in the Pi Safety Center.
For two-factor authentication (2FA) verification required for migration wallet confirmation, only trust 2FA emails sent from official Pi Network domains like [email protected].
For verified information, official links and domains, and previous safety announcements, refer to the Pi Safety Center. It is the best place to stay informed and protected.
