A cybersecurity firm has issued warnings over a new phishing campaign targeting users of the popular crypto wallet MetaMask.
In a post written by Halborn’s technical education specialist Luis Lubeck explained that the active phishing campaign used emails to target MetaMask users and trick them into giving out their passphrase.
The firm analyzed scam emails it received in late July to warn users of the new scam. Halborn noted that at an initial glance, the email looks authentic with a MetaMask header and logo and with messages that tell users to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations and how to verify their wallets.
However, Halborn also noted there are several red flags within the message. Spelling errors and a fake sender’s email address were two of the most obvious. Furthermore, a fake domain called metamaks.auction was used to send the phishing emails.
