- MetaMask said hackers are sending emails seeking false KYC.
- The company warned users against revealing their secret phrases.
- Early this month, MetaMask introduced a new phishing detection feature.
The world’s leading Web3 wallet, MetaMask, took to Twitter today to caution the crypto community about an ongoing exploit where hackers send unauthorized emails to its users.
According to a screenshot the company shared, the scammers asked the targeted users to fill out a know-your-customer (KYC) form and confirm their secret recovery phrase in a fraudulent attempt to “keep users’ fund safe.”
MetaMask then proclaimed that it does not collect KYC info from users and will never send emails about their accounts. “If you got an email today from MetaMask or Namecheap or anyone else like this, ignore it and do not click its links,” the company declared.
