ALERT 🚨 : Phishing Scam Targets Phantom Wallet Users
A new phishing scam is targeting users of the Solana-based crypto wallet, Phantom. Scammers are using fake pop-up windows that mimic legitimate update requests to steal private keys.
Here's how the scam works:
Scammers connect to genuine Phantom wallets and ask users to approve a fake 'update extension' signature request.
If victims approve the request, a prompt appears asking them to enter their mnemonic phrase.
Once entered, scammers gain full access to the wallet and can transfer its funds.
To stay safe, follow these tips:
Right-click on links to check if they're legitimate. Phishing pages typically block this action.
Check the URL. Authentic Phantom pop-up links contain 'chrome-extension,' which scam pages cannot replicate.
Stay vigilant and protect your Phantom wallet!
