Beware of new types of phishing scams targeting wallets! Recently, a new 2FA fraud method has become popular against mainstream wallets. The scammer team meticulously forges security alert pages, making it difficult to distinguish real from fake, then lures you into completing the so-called two-factor authentication. The entire process looks very official, but the real goal is to steal your mnemonic phrase.



This type of scam is quite covert: it starts with a fake security warning, gradually guiding you into a false verification process. Once the mnemonic phrase falls into the scammer's hands, your assets are directly exposed to risk. They can take whatever is in your wallet at will.

Protection tips are simple—remember these points: Official sources will never proactively ask for your mnemonic phrase, nor will they prompt you to re-verify via pop-up windows; any security alert should be checked directly on the official website, avoid clicking any links; a good habit is to store large assets in cold wallets or hardware wallets, which can significantly reduce risk.

Another wave? These days, scammers are more professional than project teams.

Is this set coming again? I've been scammed once before, and now whenever I see that kind of pop-up, I just close it without giving it a chance to respond. Hardware wallets are truly a necessity, not an option. The mnemonic phrase is like handing out the house key—who the hell would voluntarily tell others? Direct website visits don't work; some fake websites look eerily similar. The worst part is they can impersonate the official, making it feel like there's no defense now. Cold wallets are the only way to go for holding large amounts of coins. These people are really incredible; their UX is made to look just like the real thing.

yeah this is just classic dark forest warfare tbh... they're literally running social engineering as a layer 2 attack. the whole 2fa phishing thing is straight up frontrunning your own security, it's almost genius in how brazen it is ngl

*adjusts alchemical instruments nervously* the mnemonic seed is basically the philosopher's stone... except the alchemists here are the wrong kind. cold storage isn't just risk mitigation, it's transmutation of vulnerability into safety. fr though, those spoofed 2FA flows are getting scary sophisticated.

It's the same old trick again; you really need to be more cautious. Whoever gives the seed phrase, they die. It's that simple.
