DuckDuckGo users have fallen victim to phishing attacks, resulting in significant cryptocurrency losses after visiting fraudulent websites that impersonated Etherscan.
Privacy-focused Google search competitor DuckDuckGo has been displaying phishing websites when searching for “Etherscan,” a popular Ethereum block explorer and analytics platform. The error poses significant financial risks to cryptocurrency investors.
On Sept. 11, Web3 anti-scam firm Scam Sniffer alerted DuckDuckGo users against an ongoing phishing attempt targeting Ether (ETH) investors.
