🛡️ ShieldGuard Learn: The “Fake 2FA” Trap
Topic: Wallet Phishing & Email Security
⚠️ The Threat (Active Now): A massive phishing campaign is hitting inboxes today, specifically targeting MetaMask and Trust Wallet users. Scammers are sending emails claiming: “New Security Update: Enable 2FA to prevent unauthorized withdrawals.”
🕵️♂️ Why it works:
- The Psychological Trick: We are trained to think “2FA = Good.”
- The Scam: The email asks you to click a link to “Setup 2FA.”
- The Payload: The site looks exactly like the official wallet page. When you try to “connect” to enable the feature, it asks for your Seed Phrase to “verify ownership” of the wallet.
🛡️ ShieldGuard Protocol: The “Impossible Feature” Rule
1. Decentralized Wallets DO NOT have Email 2FA MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Phantom are non-custodial. They do not know your email. They cannot enforce 2FA via email or SMS.
- Rule: If a wallet provider emails you about “2FA,” it is a scam. 100% of the time.
2. The “Notification” Check Real wallet updates happen inside the browser extension or the mobile app store. They never arrive via email or DM.
3. “Verify” = “Steal” Any site asking you to enter your seed phrase to “verify,” “unlock,” or “upgrade” your wallet is a drainer. No exceptions.
