We have three more months before we say goodbye to 2024 and both pros and beginners are gearing up for the coming uptober like many people are calling October, even if we failed to get a uptober, one thing is certain, a full blow up top is coming.
Now imagine going through all the hassle since the beginning of this year and you ended up losing everything you've worked so hard for?
Hackers are crafting and placing phishing ads online everywhere with URLs that looks nearly identical to the original.
The name of this tactic is called
Dynamic Redirect Options . ..
If you don't know what dynamic redirect means, it is a powerful feature that allows the hackers and scammers to redirect their visitors to a specific page or platform and the crazy part of this menace is that the result is based on various conditions like
Locations, Search terms, Languages, Device types and many more.These scammers now have the ability using dynamic redirect tool to bypass security scanners by cloaking their malicious websites and pages with the original websites.
Protect yourself from these attacks by
1. Moving your funds into an offline open source/noncustodial wallet.
2. Find a book and write down your favourite dApps URL, I do this a lot and it has helped my for years.
3. Avoid using search engine to find your dApps.
4. Avoid clicking on random links and Ads.
Scammers are always trying to be one step ahead of us, let's be careful and always be on guard, before it was links we need to look closely to make sure that it is the right one, maybe changing of O with 0 or similar, now aliexpress.com as we know it isn't even aliexpress.com anymore.
