Phishing, Fake Apps & Social Engineering
How attackers try to trick you into handing over access, rather than hacking the tech.
What you’ll learn
- •Most theft comes from tricking people (social engineering), not breaking cryptography.
- •Phishing uses fake sites/emails with near-identical URLs — type addresses directly or use a bookmark.
- •Fake apps and browser extensions mimic real wallets — verify sources carefully before installing.
- •SMS 2FA is weaker than an authenticator app because of SIM-swapping attacks.
- •Withdrawal whitelisting and anti-phishing codes are extra layers most exchanges offer for free.
- •Layered defences don't make you unhackable — they just make you a harder target than most.
