Impersonation
Phishing tries to make a person trust a false identity. It can appear as an email, ad, message, website, application or profile imitating a known organization.
What attackers look for
In crypto environments, attackers often try to obtain passwords, 2FA codes, private keys, seed phrases or wallet authorizations.
Common warning signs
Lookalike domains, artificial urgency, unexpected links, credential requests and unrealistic promises are warning signs worth learning to recognize.
Security as a habit
Checking official channels, understanding what legitimate support should never request and maintaining a verification routine can reduce exposure to common scams.
