It was only after seeing the news about ZEROBASE that I realized how common front-end impersonation scams are. The phishing contract has already stolen $250,000 USDT, and hearing that number makes my scalp crawl. The most outrageous part is that the largest single loss was $123,000, which must be how many coins...
The key point is that I just realized I never thought about checking whether the website URL was correct when I authorized before!😅 This incident made me understand that even the front-end of seemingly legitimate projects can be attacked, so don’t trust appearances too much. Fortunately, the official reminded us to revoke risky permissions using revoke.cash. I quickly checked my wallet’s authorization list and broke out in cold sweat.
All beginners must remember: look at the link a few more times before authorizing, never click on unfamiliar contract addresses, and if in doubt, ask the community instead of operating randomly. This lesson was a painful one for me, but at least I didn’t actually fall into the trap. Let’s all work together to protect our wallet security!🔐
