That really made my palms sweat just now... I was planning to claim a small airdrop, but I accidentally clicked into a site that looked very similar, and the page even urged me to "sign immediately." I almost signed, but luckily I habitually checked the wallet popup first: the permissions line said it could spend all my certain tokens (that kind of unlimited authorization), so I immediately closed it and cleared the cache. To put it simply, I can still stick to the red line of the seed phrase—any site that asks you to input your seed phrase/private key is basically phishing.



Another trap is copying addresses. A couple of days ago, I copied the wrong address missing a digit. Luckily, I paste it into a notepad first to compare the first and last few characters before transferring; otherwise, I would have paid the tuition on the spot. Recently, with cross-chain bridges being hacked and oracles showing anomalies, I now trust the "wait for confirmation" consensus more: no rush for those two minutes, first check permissions, domain names, and the content to be signed. If you can revoke permissions, do so. Whether the interaction costs are worth it or not, put that aside—life is more important.
