🚨Wow, those interacting on the blockchain need to be careful of the "webpage redirection" scam!——
The working principle of the scam attack is as follows:
-- Malicious ads are placed through the Google ad network
-- The ads load suspicious code from Adloox ()
-- The code checks if you have a web3 wallet
-- If detected, it redirects to pudqypenguin[.]com (fake website!)
If you click on the fake website and interact, your wallet assets are gone.
What is redirection?
Redirection is when you enter a URL in your browser, but it opens a different webpage.
Unintended redirection occurs when the browser opens other third-party webpages due to maliciously embedded JavaScript code, and the webpage owners are unaware of their existence.
How to prevent it?
1⃣ It's best to use Chrome, which has updated its anti-redirection mechanism, with pop-up blockers and automatic protection.
2⃣ For other browsers, remember to enable ad blockers and use encryption.
3⃣ Most importantly!! Carefully check the URL before connecting your wallet!
4⃣ Install the ScamSniffer extension. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/scam-sniffer/mnkbccinkbalkmmnmbcicdobcmgggmfc?hl=en
👇Settings to prevent redirection in different browsers——
In Chrome, click “⋮”→“Settings”→“Privacy and security”→“Site settings”→“Pop-ups and redirects,” and make sure it is enabled.
In Firefox, you need to edit about:config to block page redirection.
In Microsoft Edge, click “•••”→“Settings”→“Cookies and site permissions”→“Pop-ups and redirects,” and switch to “Blocked (recommended).”
