I don't know if the metaverse is a hoax

"Every day people are deceived." In the communications team of a specialized Metaverse game task, admins must review fraud warnings on a daily basis. . "

Recently, famous security research firm SlowMist published an article which reads:Counterfeit apps have stolen thousands and lost $ 1.3 billion.

As the world heats up in the skies, people from all walks of life are curious about meta-universe games and Web3 stuff, and 'nuggets' to catch the moment Big Wind lips plus gather in Heaven. In addition, for days some platforms announced their retirement. , many people are starting to use wallets.

However, for many people there is no such thing as a cryptocurrency market.New means that many unknown works like "blind man touching elephant" and some "special people" lead to "Chinese New Year" mood.......

Friends who play on the phone can see the result. The communication from the board of directors warns against more and more fraud warnings, but every day some people are still deceived by "admins".

Taking the Telegram group's "fake wallet" scam as an example, when users go to the board to answer certain issues,You can have a team leader (same nickname and avatar) to help you with your problem., and as a "benevolent" warning against fraud, we recommend that you take out the "Little x Raccoon" wallet.

At the same time, you can quietly access the "small X raccoon" wallet trading board, which contains consumer products that advertise links and warn group users not to trust private conversations. .

Thus, under the guidance of a sympathetic "friendly" manager and consumer of space, many people clicked on the link "Wallet Official Group", pulled the wallet and called mnemonic ...

Then the digital assets disappear.

Someone who is deceived by fraud in a particular community is lying abandoned.

Recently the phenomenon of scams like digital tools has been big, so many people have been scammed and the treasures are huge.In addition to the party work, some industry portfolio and security teams, as well as external security teams, are monitoring this phenomenon.

For example, 360 Security Brain announced a “virtual wallet fraud” model specifically to block three types of fraud. We have provided three types of scams that 360 Security Brain teaches and creates scams and examples based on them.

The first category is to encourage the removal and installation of counterfeit wallets by using advertising methods such as gift "tokens" as bait.

The second category is the promotion of counterfeit wallet apps through counterfeit wallet websites and niche app distribution sites.

As long as you search for famous portfolios on major search sites, the results will be amazing. This is because 5-6 out of 10 results look like fake portfolio sites and will rank higher than real portfolio sites.

Recently, crooks have pre-registered trademarks of some bag products, claiming trademark protection in search engines, and registered the fake wallet website.

Do you think it's safe as long as you download it from the app store that came with your phone?

Of course not. Scammers are waiting for you here, because the App Store also allows you to place your fake wallet in a Little Fox plug-in wallet or other wallet. The Chrome store makes digital heritage ...

Finally, the wallet should be downloaded from a legitimate website, and when downloaded from the app store, check the name of the app developer and confirm that it is a shipped app from the money wallet before you withdraw.

Third, masquerading as customer service providers on trading platforms

Many people receive similar phone calls, set up wallets with meeting apps and screen sharing work, and steal money after getting wallet mnemonics from users because money is risky.

A fourth category, the Telegram group, acts as the customer service representative for the host of the project.

In the example mentioned above, customer service helped troubleshoot and warn against fraud, while removing team wallets from counterfeit wallets.

Call for the fifth category, attractive partnerships such as "Swipe Order", "U Steal", "U Change" with cashback.

Most scammers send money first and give them a "Get QR code" to copy the numbers to check if they can get the account by sending a small fee, but after copying the QR code, the real wallet will open, after copying the QR code. , the real wallet Once opened, the scammer follows the "wallet exchange page".

The actions on this page are "recommended" actions. Once the authorization is verified, the scammer can remove all of us from the wallet.

The above is only the tip of the iceberg, and a lot of deception happens every day. Most scams treat "fake wallets" differently in the process, but for the same purpose.We are doing everything we can to encourage you to release the "Ligui" hyperfake wallet.

When users create a new crypto wallet or import their own key or mnemonic into that wallet, they find a way to silently send important mnemonic and private data to the complainant or persuade him to sign.Hence, crooks have the right to throw crypto assets into your wallet.

According to previous statistics collected by SlowMist, 61% of the various treasure thefts were stolen by removing a counterfeit wallet app.

Unlike hackers, who attack the wallets of affiliate campaigns, platforms, and other loss-causing organizations, this type of wallet fraud targets the same users.

Schools have dedicated staff to measure security, but end users are hardly protected, and for many end users the loss of $ 130,000 per person is astronomical enough to destroy most people.

Maybe, as we enter the era of the meta-world, security will always be paramount.
