Recently, have you come across any security incidents?

From well-known project teams to ordinary investors, news of stolen wallets seems to appear almost every week.

A simple phrase like “high-yield activities lead users to open unknown links and authorize wallets” can wipe out years of accumulated digital assets overnight.

In fact, most theft cases are not due to sophisticated hacker techniques, but rather because users fail to maintain their bottom line at critical moments.
The OKX wallet has broken down the three most common scam tactics and teaches you three “hard moves” to leave scammers with no way to act.

Protect your Web3 assets, start by learning to say "no"_aicoin_image1

1. Hard Move One: Guide users to click unknown links to authorize wallets → Just say no!

This is currently the most common attack method.

Scammers disguise themselves as official customer service, airdrop activities, or urgent repair announcements, luring you to open a phishing website and then asking you to “connect your wallet” or “authorize a signature.”

Remember these three iron rules:

Understand the project background; if you can't even find the official website, it's advisable to contact official customer service to confirm immediately.
Never click on unknown links or authorize your Web3 wallet to third-party applications with unknown risks. If you discover your wallet has been stolen, quickly transfer the remaining assets to a safe address.
Do not easily click or participate in unknown links/unknown airdrop activities received in your wallet. Regularly check if your Web3 wallet has authorized any unfamiliar sites and revoke those authorizations in a timely manner.

As long as you adhere to “never click any unknown links, never sign any unknown authorizations,” 90% of attacks will be rendered ineffective.

2. Hard Move Two: Disclosing wallet mnemonic phrases/private keys to scammers → Never say a word!

Mnemonic phrases = ownership of the wallet.

Whoever has the mnemonic phrase is the owner of the wallet, and assets can disappear in seconds.

Scammers love to use phrases like:

“I’ll help you create a new wallet”
“To receive the airdrop, you need to import the mnemonic phrase”
“The private key has been leaked, quickly send it to me to protect your assets”

The correct approach is only one:

Never disclose your private key, password, mnemonic phrase, etc., to anyone. Whenever possible, back up this data using physical media (like engraving it on a metal plate) and store it on hardware that is not connected to the internet.
Never import private keys, mnemonic phrases, etc., into unknown third-party websites, and do not download or use wallet applications from unknown sources provided by third parties.

In summary: Only you should know your mnemonic phrase!

3. Hard Move Three: Using similar addresses to confuse users → Only recognize addresses generated through official channels

Scammers generate an address that has the same prefix and suffix as the official address but is “different in the middle,” or they simply use a “generator” to create an address that looks very similar to the official one, then impersonate the official entity to issue tokens or airdrops.

Defense Method:

Do not copy and paste unknown on-chain addresses for transfers; verify the official address character by character from start to finish.
Only proceed with related operations after ensuring the address is correct.

4. In Conclusion

The freedom of Web3 is built on “self-custody of assets,” but the price of freedom is responsibility.
Practice the above three moves until they become second nature, and your wallet will be practically impenetrable.
