Title: [Scam] Safepal wallet Malicious Firefox add-on Post by: notblox1 on October 21, 2021, 05:58:27 PM What Happened: This is fake and malicious Safepal wallet add-on for Firefox browser that was available on Mozilla store website since February 2021 and it was collecting recovery phrase using safeuslife phishing website.
Mozilla removed this add-on after reports from many people but it is possible that scammers will release something similar again.

Also, as the addons has already been removed, it is not helpful for us. Also, how you could see it after the deleting addons by mozila? Also, also, I said that Mozilla removed it but scammers may upload it again so it can help some people, and I could not post about this earlier than today:https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/malicious-safepal-wallet-firefox-add-on-stole-cryptocurrency/ Title: Re: [Scam] Safepal wallet Malicious Firefox add-on Post by: $crypto$ on October 21, 2021, 10:07:26 PM I also found the same thing about Safepal add-ons on google chrome and it seems the scammers not only put it in the Mozilla browser but also in Chrome.
Code: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/safepal-s1/ipppkaocafjidlmngmihndepdgkkcbhg The website is no longer working but the add-ons are still not removed by google, and in the description it has more than 1000+ users. https://i.gyazo.com/29ebe7b09668fc5c56eccca62d717710.png Title: Re: [Scam] Safepal wallet Malicious Firefox add-on Post by: aioc on October 21, 2021, 11:24:33 PM I have tried to open both the website as well as mozila addons but I could not open anything I think there is something wrong on the link or they are broken.

There is a lot of material educating people on how to be security conscious and keeping safe from the malicious apps and website but some people continue to be careless anywayI also found the same thing about Safepal add-ons on google chrome and it seems the scammers not only put it in the Mozilla browser but also in Chrome. We should report the apps so that they get taken down. It's surprising that the app was published almost a year ago, and the trick they used was to present it as a theme. I have reported it.Title: Re: [Scam] Safepal wallet Malicious Firefox add-on Post by: $crypto$ on October 22, 2021, 08:27:48 AM I also found the same thing about Safepal add-ons on google chrome and it seems the scammers not only put it in the Mozilla browser but also in Chrome.

Title: Re: [Scam] Safepal wallet Malicious Firefox add-on Post by: hugeblack on October 22, 2021, 01:46:39 PM Unfortunately, I read a while ago that someone lost his money because of one of these additions, but it is related to Trezor Hardware wallet.
Hardware wallet companies should monitor and block all sites as quickly as possible, and scammers have become intelligent by making hundreds of fake downloads, thus giving a feeling that the addition was safe or legal. We can only raise awareness and report. Title: Re: [Scam] Safepal wallet Malicious Firefox add-on Post by: The Cryptovator on October 22, 2021, 06:57:06 PM Thanks for sharing and awareness. I was unaware of that though I am not using safepal wallet ever. I am quite strict with using the extension in my browser and I am only using Google chrome. I only installed Metamaks extension but I hadn't used it. It's quite important to verify the source before installing any extension, otherwise, we might lose everything.
Anyway, keep exposing scammers. |
