MetaMask Users: Scammers Steal Your Crypto (And You’ll Hate This)

Oh, great. Another day, another phishing scam. This time, it’s targeting MetaMask users, because apparently, hackers have nothing better to do than steal your crypto. 🤯 SlowMist’s Chief Security Officer is like, “Hey, guys, there’s a new phishing scam…” but let’s be real, we’ve all seen this before. It’s like the 10th time someone tried to scam us with a fake 2FA flow. 🙄 The scam starts with a forged MetaMask alert. It’s like a fake email from your mom, but instead of “I need money for my new car,” it’s “Your account is compromised! Enter your seed phrase immediately!” 🚨 They even added a countdown timer to make it look urgent. Because nothing says “legitimate” like a 5-minute timer to enter your life savings. ⏳ Victims are then asked to enter their wallet recovery phrase. Which, by the way, MetaMask never asks for. So if someone is asking for it, they’re either a wizard or a scammer. Probably the latter. 🧙‍♂️ Always check the URL and avoid entering sensitive info. Unless you’re into gambling your life savings on a scammer’s website. 🤷‍♀️
