The reality is that most phishing attacks today no longer look “obviously fake.”

Modern crypto scams now use:
• Professional-looking websites
• Google sponsored ads
• Fake wallet prompts
• Clone interfaces nearly identical to real DeFi apps

Many users lose funds simply by clicking the wrong search result and signing a malicious approval request.

Security firms continue recommending the same core protections:
• Never trust sponsored search links
• Bookmark official protocol websites
• Revoke unused token approvals regularly
• Double-check wallet permissions before signing

As crypto adoption grows, phishing attacks are increasingly targeting ordinary users rather than sophisticated traders — making basic operational security more important than ever.
