As reported by CoinDesk<\/em><\/a> and The Block Crypto<\/em><\/a>, sites including Etherscan<\/a>, CoinGecko<\/a>, and DexTools<\/a> all warned users that they were aware of suspicious popups appearing for visitors, and advised them not to confirm any transactions based on popups.<\/p>\n Like many recent phishing attacks, this one appeared to promise a link to the Bored Ape Yacht Club project, with an ape skull logo and a (now-disabled) nftapes.win domain. It prompted users to connect their MetaMask wallets (a software cryptocurrency wallet that enables access on your phone or via a browser extension) to use on the site, and since it was appearing on domains that many people trust and use every day, they may have fallen for it and given it access. <\/p>\n
