Beware of new wave of crypto phishing scam ads on X targeting Uniswap users this time.
Achtet auf eine neue Welle von Krypto/Phishing/Scam-Werbung auf X.
Derzeit kursieren auf X wieder vermehrt Phishing-Attacken, die in Form von Werbung ausgespielt werden und diesmal einen Uniswap UNI Airdrop versprechen, wenn man auf die Website geht.
Ziel solcher Angriffe ist es, Zugriff auf eure Metamask-Ethereum-Wallet zu bekommen und euch dann gezielt Transaktionen unterzujubeln, um eure Ethereum-Assets zu stehlen.
Die Werbung wird entweder von "verifizierten" Fake-Accounts mit dem blauen Häkchen oder von gehackten Accounts ausgespielt und auch die Web-Adresse ändert sich häufig. Aber das Muster ist immer dasselbe. Die Kommentarfunktion ist meistens deaktiviert und man wird auf eine Phishing-Seite gelenkt, wo man sich dann mit der Ethereum-Wallet einloggen muss.
X kommt leider nicht nach, diese Scam-Werbung zu löschen, da immer neue Accounts aufpoppen. Ähnliche Krypto-Phishing-Attacken gibt es auch bei Google und auf YouTube, wo sich Scammer sogar als bekannte YouTube-Accounts ausgeben und bekannte Namen und das Profilbild von YouTubern einfach kopieren.
Was sagt ihr dazu? Ist euch die neue Scam-Werbung auf X auch aufgefallen? Habt ihr schon mal auf sowas geklickt?
Uniswap Fake Airdrop Scam Ads on X
English
Watch out for a new wave of crypto/phishing/scam ads on X.
There are currently more and more phishing attacks circulating on X in the form of malicious advertisements, this time promising a Uniswap UNI airdrop if you go to the website.
The aim of such attacks is to gain access to your Metamask Ethereum wallet and then to trick you into making transactions in order to steal your Ethereum assets.
The ads are either sent from “verified” fake accounts with the blue checkmark or from hacked accounts and the web address also changes frequently. But the pattern is always the same. The comment function is usually deactivated and you are directed to a phishing page where you then have to log in with your Ethereum wallet.
Unfortunately, X can't keep up with deleting these scam ads, as new accounts keep popping up constantly. Similar crypto-phishing attacks also occur on Google and YouTube, where scammers even pretend to be well-known YouTube accounts by coping the names and profile pictures of YouTubers.
What do you think? Have you also noticed the new scam ads on X? Have you ever clicked on one of these?

99,9% of free airdrops are scam!
When the market heats up, the fishermen come. Be very careful.
I don’t trust most crypto related news I see online
I just saw stuff like this on twitter I had a scam a few years ago now I don't open links like this at all and none of us should.
I bet you,most airdrops are set for deception and one has to be vigilant.
Bin auf X nicht aktiv und passe immer gut auf. Versuche es zumindest
yeah saw it. even in other social media platform.
These wretched scammers keep coming up with new ways to defraud people of their hard earned crypto. One might fall prey if they are not informed. Thanks for the information you've posted about this. I hope Uniswap users on hive will see this and beware.
You have to be very careful with these things and if you want to participate, have a bridge account just for these things. This way we will avoid any surprises.

Just use the common sense. There's nothing like free money to grab, and when something looks too good, it's likely scam.
That's, by the way, one of the reasons to lower the HBD Savings interest. It looks scammy for people from the outside.
Good point about HBD, 15-20% on a stable coin also seems scamy to me, considering yout currently get more APR on HBD than on staking and curating HIVE POWER, while the later pays for the former.
I wrote down an analysis on this topic few months ago: https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@godfish/4-reasons-for-lowering-the-hbd-savings-interest-rate
We have to be careful of the airdrops we click on
There are even some links that are only meant to get some informations from our phones so we gotta be careful
I haven't been on X but I am skeptical about any airdrop ads. It doesn't bode well at all.
Solche Betrüger sind das Letzte.
