Anti-phishing guidelides

You probably get a lot of spam in your email, and some it surely goes through phishing and advertisement filters. These messages are identical to what the official websites would send you, and they link to perfectly cloned pages from the originals.

Scammers want you to type your sensible information on their pages. Usernames, passwords, wallet addresses, private keys, or even just your personal email, to sell or use it themselves.

Follow these basic pointers to not be misled into a phishing site:

• Install a trusted extension that checks for trustworthy websites, like Metacert's Cryptonite, and pay attention to their shield status.

• Always check if you really are on the site you want to be. Maybe they've swapped a letter to another one that looks just like it or some other very small detail.

• Always make sure the URL bar has a green security certificate.

• Do not navigate through messages or links sent to you via email, Slack, Reddit, Twitter, etc. The real destination URL might be disguised even if, apparentely, it's properly typed out.

• Always go straight to the site you want to visit. Don't click on ads through other websites or search engines (like Google). It may look official, but that's they want you to think.

• Install an AdBlocker. While some sites really might be okay, there are also advertising companies serving dangerous pop ups because they just don't care.

You should also get a hardware wallet if you're keeping a lot of money in your wallets.
