Metamask warned about a scam attempt through emails
Cryptocurrency wallet issued an alert because a hacker gained access to email account at Namecheap
Metamask, the popular Ethereum wallet, issued a fraud alert after a hacker gained access to a Namecheap email account. The attacker has reportedly been sending unauthorized emails to users of the platform, asking them to reveal sensitive information, including wallet recovery phrases.
Metamask has warned its users never to reveal sensitive information through emails or messages, even if they appear to be from a trusted sender. Instead, users must directly access their wallet through the app or website and verify the authenticity of any requests through official support channels.
The Metamask team has worked with Namecheap to fix the issue and protect the security of its users. The company also asked users to report any suspicious emails or messages, so they can investigate and take additional steps to protect the security of their users.
The fraud alert is an important reminder that users need to be cautious and protect their funds and sensitive information, especially in the crypto world.
