Phishing scammers have recently targeted crypto media outlet Blockworks and Ethereum blockchain scanner Etherscan by creating cloned websites. These fake sites aim to deceive unsuspecting readers into interacting with them. One example is a cloned Blockworks site that presents a fake “BREAKING” news report about a supposed multimillion-dollar “approvals exploit” on the decentralized exchange Uniswap. Users are then encouraged to visit a faked Etherscan website to rescind approvals. However, this fake Etherscan site actually contains a smart contract that could potentially drain a user’s crypto wallet. The domains for these fake sites were registered in late October. It is important for users to be cautious and verify the authenticity of websites they interact with to avoid falling victim to phishing scams.
