Protect your Pi wallet: essential security reminders
In Open Network, it is more important than ever to prioritize the security of your Pi wallet and your non-custodial Pi. The immutability of the blockchain means that mistakes in sharing your wallet password with bad actors or phishing sites can lead to irreversible transactions. Therefore, it is essential to take the right precautions now.
DO NOT interact with a website, application, or platform that asks you to enter your wallet passphrase that is NOT EXACTLY 'wallet.pinet.c.o.m' in the Pi browser. This could irreversibly jeopardize your entire Pi balance. Remember that the Pi browser is a browser, like any other browser such as Chrome, Safari, etc., so it is ultimately up to the pioneer to determine the security and legitimacy of the sites and URLs they visit.
To help pioneers distinguish 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 carrying the Core Team applications logo. If a scammer creates a fake 'Pi Wallet' trying to hack the pioneers' wallet secret password, they will not be able to modify the application's URL or the user interface associated with the browser that the official Pi wallet will have.
Be particularly cautious on social media for fake websites, misleading advertisements (such as ads on fake websites), fake email addresses, and other places where malicious actors can give pioneers false impressions and misinformation.
Your wallet password is private and should NEVER be shared. Remember that no member of the Pi Core Team will ever solicit ANY account authentication information from you (such as wallet passwords, account passwords, verification codes, etc.). Members of the Pi Core Team will never individually call Pioneers, and Pioneers should never submit information on platforms, websites, or applications NOT listed as official Pi applications and products in the Pi security center.
For the two-factor authentication (2FA) required for wallet migration confirmation, only trust 2FA emails sent from official Pi network domains such as [email protected].
For verified information, links, official domains, and previous security announcements, visit the Pi security center. It is the best place to stay informed and protected.
