MetaMask users beware of new 2FA scam: Mnemonic phrase theft trap revealed

【Blockchain Rhythm】 Recently, MetaMask users need to be extra cautious as a new scam tactic targeting wallets has emerged. The scammers’ method is actually not complicated: they first create a fake security alert page that looks exactly like the official one, then lure you into completing a so-called two-factor authentication. At this point, a fake 2FA verification interface will pop up, accompanied by an emergency countdown, creating a tense atmosphere of “if you don’t quickly operate your wallet, there will be problems.” Once you’re scared into action, the final step comes—entering your wallet seed phrase. This step is the scammers’ real goal. Once the seed phrase is leaked, the assets in your wallet are fully exposed with no room for remedy. Therefore, when you see such verification prompts, stay calm; official wallets usually do not ask you to enter your seed phrase through a webpage.
