Phishing Campaign Targets Crypto Users Through Fake Wallet Apps
Security researchers have identified an active phishing campaign that distributes counterfeit cryptocurrency wallet applications engineered to steal users’ recovery phrases. The fake apps closely imitate the branding of popular wallets and spread through unofficial download links, search ads, and social media messages. Researchers recommend downloading wallet software only from official websites or verified app-store listings, and never entering a recovery phrase into any app or web form.
