Today I almost lost assets due to a poorly designed scam website, luckily I had the plugin@GoPlusSecurity which reported it in time! 😅 This experience made me deeply realize that behind the freedom of Web3, dangers are everywhere. If you are also interacting with a wallet, this security guide is a must-read!


The scams I've encountered

At that moment, the page displayed an 'authorization request' (as shown), although the URL gake-gi.pro was obviously suspicious (I would never click when sober!), but it's easy to overlook when fatigued. Key points:

  • Fake signature inducement: requesting authorization for 'all assets', which is too high (normal DApps only require specific token permissions).

  • Disguising as a well-known chain: using legitimate chain names like 'Base' to lower vigilance.

  • Ambiguous authorization target: address 0xa900...79f866 not verified, may be a malicious contract.

Fortunately, the security plugin automatically marked the risk and popped up a reminder; otherwise, if I clicked 'Continue', my assets could have been wiped out!



⚠️ Common dangers in Web3

  1. Phishing websites: impersonating well-known projects (such as Uniswap, OpenSea) to steal assets through fake signatures.

  2. Malicious contracts: automatically transferring your tokens/NFTs after authorization, even gaining control of your wallet.

  3. Transaction hijacking: tampering with transaction content (e.g. changing the receiving address to a hacker's wallet).

⚠️ Beware of all signature requests! Authorization = giving others the key to your vault.

🛡️ Five core protections

  1. Phishing website interception

    Automatically detects and marks counterfeit DApps (such as fake Uniswap, OpenSea), popping up warnings before connecting the wallet to avoid falling into traps.

  2. Transaction risk scanning

    Analyze transaction content before signing:
    ✅ Check if the receiving address is malicious (e.g. hacker commonly used address database)
    ✅ IdentifyHide authorization(e.g. infinite token approval)
    ✅ WarningUnexpected operation(e.g. NFT transfer turns into collateral)

  3. Real-time risk alert

    When suspicious behavior is detected (e.g. contract suddenly requests high permissions), a mandatory popup reminder will be triggered, highlighting dangerous items (e.g. 'Authorize all assets' in the image) with a red label.

  4. 24/7 wallet monitoring

    Continuously track on-chain dynamics, and if there is an abnormal asset movement (e.g. outgoing transfer without your signature), immediately push notification to allow for remediation.

  5. Security rating system

    Conduct security ratings for each DApp and contract address (similar to credit scores), directly blocking interactions with low-score projects.

🌟 Why choose GoPlus?

  • No-delay protection: integrates mainstream chains (ETH/BSC/Base, etc.), with a real-time updated risk database.

  • Zero learning cost: automatically runs after installing the plugin, does not interfere with normal transactions.

  • Privacy first: all detection is done locally, no uploading of private keys or transaction history.



✅ Safety operation checklist

  1. Always verify the website: manually enter the official site and refuse unfamiliar links.

  2. Minimized authorization: only open necessary token permissions and regularly clean up.

  3. Isolate assets: store large assets in cold wallets, and only use small hot wallets for interactions.

Web3 is at the forefront of technology, but also a dark forest. Security plugins are like gas masks - they may not be 100% immune, but they significantly reduce risks. If you've been a victim due to negligence, feel free to share your experience to warn others; if you haven't installed security tools yet, take action now!
