[Farhannn]

yes maybe here a lot of phishing website, because do not know. actually to distinguish the phishing website can be seen from the top left corner, there is safe writing or not, if not then the website is phishing.

You can use Bookmarks instead of search engines. They usually post ads on search engines such as google and people click their fishy links.
And typo errors are driving traffic to phising sites. Stay safe use bookmarks.

I personally bootmark all sites and I have also a excel file where I put all the urls with the link.
For myetherwallet I also use the Chrome Extension EtherAddressLockup.

One of the problems that makes it difficult to spot a fake site from a legit site is some projects use domains that are not yet popular and scammers have little to do by simply using the premium domains like  [dot] com, [dot] net etc and writing down these phishing sites will be to much work to do, i think the suggested solution of bookmarking is the best.

Just avoid doing two things. Never click on links given to you, not even those that come up on Google search since you can get tricked from there. Do your own research, find out the actual websites you intend to log into, and save those on your bookmarks, protected by password manager. If you've saved your password and realise one day the wesbite you are visiting does not have it, then check to see if the website is wrong or has updated.

Also, do not use same passwords on different sites in case the site owners are stealing.

Basically, ignore all mails messages and spam. Never click on links. Just stick to your own wallets. Do not ever trust websites.

and never click any spam msg at your inbox, really dont click it or any strange link you find at slack or smt

First check the website extension http or https (Https is more secure then http)

Don't visit direct to website just google the domain.

Read reviews about website on google.

Phishing website always has odd type of domain name similar to original one.

Have to be more vigilant and don't let your guards down. Every hacker now would really try to imitate every single detail to make it look like the real one, phising site normally will be something suspicious that directs you to different link or even some are really obvious would ask for your private keys. We all have to be careful now every thief wanted a piece of our bitcoin and alts

There a lot of scammers around the social media which they are trying to do some fake websites to get some private informations you have. To avoid all of this you must research that website first, if it is legit or not. Also, don't click or enter on some links or advertisements thay may pop up on the screen because we can't assured if it is virus or not that maight affects on the system and might hack your private informations.

In essence the phishing site just rely on the login page (resembling the original site) to retrieve emails and passwords written by the victim voluntarily. email data and passwords that have been written will be stored in the database automatically after the victim processes Login.Maybe like that..

First of all, if this site is safe and trustworthy, then it must be https at the beginning. Second, through the domain name you can find a variety of information about the site, if registered with the authorities. To a centralized world, I think we should be more alert, because there is a downside to centralization, that is, our actions will never regret medicine.

the way I used to do ,and it should be store in the Browser for all altcoin.
and don't open other website link in this Browser.

[qazgroup]

I think the best way to avoid such sites is by not clicking the links in the emails or from social media that look fishy or sketchy and do not ever enter your details on such link.

[Leah38]

I don't click links sent through messenger or emails. Make sure you also use different passwords all the time.

[swissgang]

Bookmark official websites and don't click any link coming through email and slack. Maybe you can click without knowing so always check the address before entering your keys

im using bookmarks to avoid phishing sites for me to avoid hacking my account. I want to secure my private keys because there is a lot of tokens in there. Also, i double check the link if it is the official wallet

[Yazrielle]

Don't click or open the sites that unfamiliar to you. Dont open the ads that sent to you bookmarks the official sites so that you will not confuse where is the real. Make some research about phishing sites to avoid them and when theres an email sent to you dont click the site without confirming it if its real.

[lelou]

Always look at the url bar and check if the url is right. Most trading sites are secure and use (https:/)
