Practical Anti-phishing: fake domains, safe links and signature checks

Phishing is the oldest trick online: a hook disguised as treasure. How do you avoid it?

TL;DR

  • âś… Bookmark official links.
  • ⚠️ Never enter credentials from unsolicited messages.
  • âś… Enable Binance’s anti-phishing code.
  • âś… Confirm all permissions before signing.

Context

Phishing remains the most common crypto scam. It targets the weakest link: the user. Awareness is your best defense.

Prerequisites

  • A verified Binance account.
  • 2FA activated before trading.
  • Official wallet extensions installed.

Step by step

  1. **Access only via saved bookmarks** in your browser.
  2. **Enable anti-phishing code** in Binance settings.
  3. **Verify official emails**: check sender and personalized code.
  4. **Use block explorers** to confirm addresses before sending.
  5. **Sign only if you understand the contract**. Reject if suspicious.

💡 Tip: use separate browsers for finance and leisure. ⚠️ Safety: never share your seed phrase.

Security checklist

  • ⚠️ Save binance.com in your bookmarks.
  • ⚠️ Avoid suspicious attachments.
  • ⚠️ Enable anti-phishing code.
  • ⚠️ Double-check spelling in domains.
  • ⚠️ Never install wallets from random links.

Common mistakes and how to avoid them

  • **Clicking a random link on social media** → stolen keys. Prevention: only bookmarks.
  • **Signing unknown contracts** → drained wallet. Prevention: reject unclear requests.
  • **Ignoring anti-phishing code** → falling for fake emails. Prevention: enable it.

Practical examples

  • You get an email from “binanse.com”: it looks real, but the domain is fake.
  • A dApp asks for “unlimited token access”: reject immediately.

Quick comparisons

  • **Official domain bookmark**: safe.
  • **WhatsApp link**: risky.
  • **Verified dApp signature**: safer.

Editorial note

Phishing thrives on trust. Education and habit are stronger shields than any software.
