Beware! TON Phishing Scheme with USDT Lure

Bittime - Crypto users, especially The Open Network (TON) users, please be careful! Recently, Slow Mist founder, Yu Xian, revealed a new phishing method targeting TON users.

Phishing Scheme  

The phishing perpetrators took advantage of the transfer comment mechanism on TON to carry out their actions.

This phishing scheme works by displaying the message "+5,000 USDT" on a user's wallet pop-up when they use Tonkeeper (the wallet for TON).

The Lure of Free USDT

Seeing this pop-up, it is not uncommon for users to think that they have received 5,000 USDT for free. In fact, in reality "+5,000 USDT" is just a comment message embedded in the TON transfer. So, users receive no real USDT at all.

TON Used for USDT Phishing?

Maybe you are wondering, why do scammers use TON to launch phishing attacks offering USDT?

Experts suspect that the use of TON in this phishing scheme aims to target users who are less familiar with TON.

Ordinary users may not know that TON has a transfer comment feature so they are more easily fooled by the "+5,000 USDT" pop-up.

Tips to Avoid Phishing TON

TON users need to be wary of all forms of transfers that are accompanied by suspicious transfer comments, especially those that offer large amounts of tokens or crypto assets for free.

Here are some tips to avoid TON phishing.

• Check Transfer Details: Before confirming a TON transfer, always check the transfer details carefully, including the sender's wallet address and the content of the comment message.
• Don't be easily tempted: If you receive a TON transfer with comments promising instant profits or large token prizes, it's best to ignore them.
• Use an Official Crypto Wallet: Use an official TON crypto wallet, such as Tonkeeper, and make sure to always download the wallet from a trusted source.
• Don't Click on Random Links: Never click on suspicious links related to TON, especially those that promise instant profits or ask you to enter personal information.

By implementing these security measures, TON users can avoid becoming victims of phishing and protect their crypto assets.
