DuckDuckGo and Bing users warned of Etherscan phishing website
A phishing website posing as the Ethereum search tool Etherscan has been spotted on search engines DuckDuckGo and Bing as one of the first Etherscan search results. Scam Sniffer flagged the Etherscan phishing site today and warned users on X (formerly Twitter) that, “Your assets could be at risk from a simple mistake. Stay safe and alert!” The phishing site utilizes the same logo as Etherscan and describes the basics of the tool. DuckDuckGo and Bing also list the phishing site as the second search result just below the legitimate Etherscan site. The phishing site can be spotted by the extra dash in its web address which rewrites “etherscan” as “et-herscan.” DuckDuckGo and Bing still list the Etherscan phishing site at the time of writing.
