Web3 Security Alert: Deepfake Scams on the Rise



Deepfake phishing attacks surged dramatically in 2025—voice and video impersonations jumped over 1,600% in some periods. You've probably seen fake celebrity giveaways or received "urgent support" calls that sound unnervingly real. That's AI at work.

Here's the thing: scammers are getting smarter, but so should we. Don't let pressure rush your decisions. When someone claims you need to act NOW—approve a transaction, click a link, verify credentials—that's your red flag. Always take requests offline before responding. Verify through official channels, not through whatever contact method came to you first.

The core trick? They're betting on speed and urgency. Strip that away, and their entire play collapses. Stay skeptical, stay offline, stay safe.
