Title: Warning: Brave browser phishing scam going around
Post by: Guvn0r on June 12, 2019, 11:53:54 AM
So scammers have created a fake version of brave browser that probably steals the keys in your PC and other personal data

And to get users to download this, they are mass emailing people about a Brave upgrade, promising airdrop of 30 BAT to the early upgraders, with links to this phishing site: https://brave-browser.info/ which looks exactly like the actual brave site https://brave.com/

The official side of brave noticed and doing anything to prevent users?

With the price of bitcoin and other alt coins are rising, you will see scammers coming up with their bag of tricks to steal your hard earned money. Beware of all these fishy attempts and awareness is the best solution here.

Nothing is moderated on the internet, not sure whether you are waking up from a comma  :D.

Most of the sites warn about Phishing sites, but the actions must be taken by search engines as people usually hear about a browser and search online and if the Phishing site finds a way to pop in the first few pages, then people are most likely going to fall victims.

I thought it can be restricted at some domains which can greatly help from falling for that scam,but its on the hand of user to save them from scams.
