What is Crypto Phishing?
Crypto phishing tricks you into revealing your seed phrase, private key, or signing a malicious transaction. Never share your seed phrase with anyone, ever.
Full Explanation
Phishing is the #1 way people lose crypto. Common attacks: fake websites that look identical to real DEXs/wallets (always check the URL), DMs on Discord/Telegram claiming you won something, fake "support" asking for your seed phrase, malicious token approvals that drain your wallet, and email links to fake login pages. Protection: bookmark legitimate sites, never click links in DMs, use hardware wallets, revoke unnecessary token approvals on revoke.cash, and never ever share your seed phrase.
