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.

Shit!! This is supposed be basic knowledge for someone who holds bitcoin, why should you put your seed phrase on a website, what was his goal? Sorry for his loss. This is another reminder of how careful we need to be when dealing with things online especially with the phone we are using to hold bitcoin.
Investors should never relax on protective measures to secure their bitcoin, it should be a daily practice, something that’s always on our mind cause one moment of lapse can cause us harm.

One has to be very careful in his every day to day dealings with the ads that Google run because more have proven to be scam sites and Google do not have good provision for verifying the originality of what they advertise or even the Authenticity. Many people have lost their money due to this phishing sites. We have to be very careful and avoid revealing our seed phrase to anyone or sharing on any site. Bookmark the official sites and don't be too lazy to verify site before performing any activities that may involve your private keys. Scammers are everywhere and they are now dominating the crypto space so if you want to be safe, then you have to play safe. I don't know how effectively revoke.cash https://revoke.cash/ works but you can disconnect all the initial token approvals you have granted and revoke the permissions granted so that you can have full control of your wallet.

This story is getting me angry right now like I don't really get it, because even a little baby can barely make this kind of mistake that someone that I am sure to be an adult will make. Without being told he's supposed to have known that wasn't normal at all and to avoid it totally, not to the extent of going ahead to input his wallet details, for what if I may ask? obviously that is foolishness. Is quite painful but this will also served him well and make him understand that not everything is real, their are things that just require common sense to handle, not everything is ignorance

Those scammers somehow find means to bypass Google security check and then post those phishing links, that's why going through Google to look for a webpag can be dangerous at times because what these scammers do at times is to poison the link such that when someone clicks on it, the person will be redirected to a different website that could look exactly like the original one. I hope Google can fix that issue because they keeping giving excuses that they don't intentionally allow scammers post ads.

A bitcoiner needs to always learn about the scammers methods to always remain aware so that they won't fall victim, and also, anything relating to the security of our coins, we should be extremely careful with it.

I would have say sorry to the victims that lost their funds on trezor after clicking on some phishing website on google sponsored ads but as the phishing website requested for their wallets recovery seed and they willingly gave it out even after knowing that if someone have access to their wallets recovery seed they will lose their funds, i will not say sorry to them. How can people who knows how important wallet recovery seed is and they foolishly gave it out to a third-party, they are the reason why they lost their funds and they should take responsibility for their loss.

It’s so sad to be hearing such news here and there. It’s not up to one week that we had if wallet hack that many people lost their Bitcoin to a wallet that claimed to be a non-custodial wallet, and now another Bitcoin holder lost Bitcoin to scammers, it’s sad, but I think these people need to be extra careful and need to upgrade their knowledge of wallet security.

It is always good to go to every wallet’s official website to download their wallets, using the google search engine is risky when it comes to wallet because scammers are everywhere trying to clone almost every wallet they see, they will clone the wallets to the extent that if you are not careful, you will think it is the original domain, and that’s how so many people lose their Bitcoin to scammers. Let’s be careful and always use the official websites to download wallets.
