RE: PSA: How to Avoid MyEtherWallet (And Other) Phishing Scams

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

Nice information and awareness.

The way we all in crypto space are careful about our private keys; similarly we should be careful about the domain names after clicking on any links from any channel or medium. Phishing is all related to links (HTML hyperlinks) where the Text is completely different to the actual link.
Also many anti-virus have phishing enabling feature which automatically detects and blocks fake websites.

Never use links in an email to connect to a website unless you are absolutely sure they are authentic. Instead, open a new browser window and type the URL directly into the address bar. Often a phishing website will look identical to the original - look at the address bar to make sure that this is the case.

Also if you have hardware wallets which do integrate with MyEtherWallet then you need not worry as it may take care of your security issues.


Great info @heiditravels, keep spreading the awareness. Cheers!!!
