Scam Sniffer, a security firm, has warned users of Bing and DuckDuckGo about a phishing website that mimics the legitimate Etherscan platform. Clicking on the link could potentially lead to the loss of users' assets. The phishing site uses a similar logo and URL to Etherscan and appears as one of the top search results. Scam Sniffer has observed an increase in phishing websites and highlights a case where a victim lost over $520,000. Other security firms, such as Veritas Protocol and Crypto exchange OKX, have also urged users to be cautious and double-check links to protect their assets. Phishing scams on Etherscan have previously resulted in victims losing six-figure sums. The FBI has reported a 40% increase in crypto scams in 2023 compared to the previous year.
