Another user lost his funds on trezor by clicking phishing site.

[Livingleged]

Saw this news of a user that lost his funds on trezor after clicking on some phishing website on google sponsored ads. The user said lost their fund after clicking on a sponsored  google search result that was impersonating trezor.

The phishing  page was hosted on the google site, which tricked victims to enter their wallets recovery seed. How dumb  will people be  to enter their seed to a website?? Well, that’s what the victim must have done.
Though trezor says it’s escalating the report, and working to have the site removed, also reminds users to never enter wallets recovery seed to any website, or online form.

This is just a reminder and a warning to those that are new to wallet protection and security to be careful with clicking on ads online.

Anything that has to do with crypto wallets is not something you just come online to search on Google about or even see ads about and just click on without going directly through the official website, as times go on, we keep on seeing how incompetent Google has turned out to be over the years; they can’t carefully screen what they put out there as paid ads. All the team cares about is who pays higher and their material will be displayed on top of the front search.

Those who hold a large amount of funds in Bitcoin should be very careful. It is especially better not to use that device daily activity . That device should be used only as a Bitcoin wallet. It will be offline most of the time and will make transactions through the wallet that is used as needed. And if someone wants to hold it for investment purposes, it is better to save the seed phrase and not log it into any wallet. Buying Bitcoin from an exchange and  sending it only to the specific wallet address that was invested. And you should always refrain from clicking on any kind of link. Because scammers find to hack in various ways where many experienced people are constantly falling victim to losses. Because those who have a large amount of Bitcoin must be experienced and have been with this technology for a long time. Even after that, they have been hacked. This is an example for us to be careful and so that we can be more responsible and careful in protecting our wallet and Bitcoin assets in the future.
