A phishing website posing as the Ethereum search tool Etherscan has been spotted on search engines DuckDuckGo and Bing as one of the first Etherscan search results.

Scam Sniffer flagged the Etherscan phishing site today and warned users on X (formerly Twitter) that, “Your assets could be at risk from a simple mistake. Stay safe and alert!”

The phishing site utilizes the same logo as Etherscan and describes the basics of the tool. DuckDuckGo and Bing also list the phishing site as the second search result just below the legitimate Etherscan site.

The phishing site can be spotted by the extra dash in its web address which rewrites “etherscan” as “et-herscan.”

Scam Sniffer highlighted the problem of phishing websites and noted that someone lost almost $521,000 to a fake permit signature crypto scam. On the other end of the scale, the FBI reported this week that crypto scams and fraud made over $5.6 billion in 2023, a 45% increase from the year before.

Crypto exchange OKX and AI blockchain security firm Veritas Protocol also warned users to make sure they identify websites properly. Veritas Protocol said, “Phishing sites can look very convincing, and it’s easy to make a mistake”

“Always double-check URLs before clicking, especially when handling crypto assets. Stay safe out there and always verify that you’re using the official site!”
