  One common sign of a phishing attack is receiving unsolicited emails or messages that claim to be from a legitimate digital currency exchange or wallet provider. These messages often contain links that direct you to fake websites designed to steal your login credentials. To protect yourself, always verify the authenticity of the sender and avoid clicking on suspicious links. Additionally, enable two-factor authentication and regularly update your passwords to enhance security.

  Phishing attacks can also occur through social engineering tactics, such as impersonating customer support representatives or sending fake investment opportunities. Be cautious of any requests for personal information or financial details, and never share sensitive data unless you have verified the legitimacy of the request. Remember, reputable digital currency exchanges will never ask for your password or private keys.
