Web3 Information Security Call for Papers: Fake URLs

foreword

What is the difference between the information security of Web3 and the general traditional information security? In fact, the difference is not too big. Fraud is one of the oldest behaviors on the earth. Many people should have heard the case of the Golden Light Party. The traditional Taiwanese fraud group that was active from the 1950s to the 1990s was called the "Golden Party" because it often used gold as bait at first. In addition, the victim's huge sum of money was transferred by stealing the sky for the sun.

As long as people are greedy or careless, they can easily fall into the trap of fraud and become victims. As a risk averse, theoretically, they should reject encrypted virtual currency, but because I was in contact with encrypted virtual currency, I happened to be in the In the bull market, the price of a bitcoin was more than 60,000 US dollars at that time, and the profits of encrypted virtual currency were relatively amazing, so I resolutely started my journey of encrypted virtual currency, and I also did a lot of this. Homework, many seniors or experts have mentioned that there are many and rampant scams in encrypted virtual currency, and more or less personal experience of blood and tears, so after I first came into contact with encrypted virtual currency, the operation of buying and selling virtual currency, more In the world's well-known cryptocurrency exchanges, the thing that scares me the most is the operation of depositing and withdrawing money, because Crawley mentioned that as long as the transfer is wrong, the currency will be gone and won't be returned. It is best to try a small amount first. Turn it around and try it out to see if it works. Although it's a little troublesome, I have done it, and I haven't had any regrets.

The following is the ranking of cryptocurrency exchanges for reference. The ranking changes at any time. The exchanges with higher rankings are the exchanges that I give priority to using.

Cryptocurrency exchanges are divided into two categories, Centralized Exchange and Decentralized Exchange. Large-scale centralized exchanges are relatively safe, but the profitability of cryptocurrency operations is slightly lower. , for lower fees and faster transaction speed, I started to switch to some niche centralized exchanges.

Uniswap and PancakeSwap are two of the most popular decentralized exchanges at the moment. Unlike traditional exchanges, which work differently, users can trade with them from a range of crypto wallets, instead of relying on automated market makers (AMMs). ) technology in the liquidity pool to trade available assets, and obtain rewards in the form of encrypted virtual currency by providing liquidity to cryptocurrency traders. For users, they can usually save encrypted virtual currency in their own encrypted wallets, Only operate when necessary.

PancakeSwap is my most commonly used decentralized exchange. The various functions it provides, such as syrup pool, income farm, first farm offering (IFO), etc. are all very attractive to me. It is similar to putting assets on a centralized exchange. Compared, its farm and pledge income is also good, which is also the main reason why I chose to move the encrypted virtual currency to PancakeSwap.

One day, I accidentally discovered the phishing website of PancakeSwap. It is very easy for people to be tricked. Even the anti-scam messages are fake. The real and fake ones are the same as the real ones. After I found something wrong, I quickly quit all operations, cancelled all authorizations, and immediately transferred all encrypted virtual currencies to another encrypted wallet. Fortunately, after that, nothing strange happened to my new encrypted wallet.

The following is the correct PancakeSwap URL

The following is the PancakeSwap URL for fishing

Phishing websites refer to fake websites that deceive users. The pages of "phishing websites" are basically the same as real websites, in order to deceive consumers or steal the account and password information submitted by visitors. In the world of Web 3.0, it is to lure users, Let the encrypted wallet authorize all the operations of the website, and the scammer can empty the encrypted wallet without knowing it. The fake website above is a little different from the real website .

Some phishing websites will buy advertisements for a short period of time, so that the search ranking of fake websites will rush to the first place, and novice players who do not understand the reason will easily fall into the trap.

postscript

History is always inexplicably similar , just like the frauds extending from the Shining Light Party to today's society, mostly using the greed and negligence of the victims to achieve their goals, the fraud on Web 3.0 is very similar to the traditional information security. Tricks such as bitcoin investment scams, social media cryptocurrency giveaway scams, fake cryptocurrency exchanges, job scams, job scams are described in my previous article " Tech Notes | Why Linkenin is a Hotbed of Scams?" A $600 million information security course from Axie Infinity! ”, even the well-known Axie Infinity blockchain game in GameFi has suffered damage, encrypted virtual currency, blockchain or Web 3.0 are relatively new fields, traditional law, police or supervision, etc. Protection measures have not been able to keep up so quickly. To protect consumers, as ordinary people, you and I must keep your eyes open when you are swimming in this Web 3.0 world!
