🚨 New Wallet Drain Alert: One Click Can Empty Your Wallet
There is a recently identified new wallet-draining attack targeting Web3 users. Unlike common scams, this method disguises itself as a technical error, making it harder to detect.
🧩 How the Attack Works
Users may be redirected to a fake or cloned decentralized application (DApp). The site displays a message such as:
"‼️ Browser Error – Please update your RPC connection to continue."
It then instructs users to copy and paste a command into their system terminal.
Once executed, the command downloads and runs malicious software designed to steal browser sessions, wallet data, or authentication cookies. The attacker then triggers a Permit2 approval request in the user’s wallet. If the user signs this request, it grants the attacker token spending permissions, allowing funds to be transferred later without further confirmation.
This attack does not exploit any vulnerabilities in Binance Wallet or other wallet software. Instead, it relies on social engineering to trick users into running malicious commands and approving token permissions.
⚠️Why This Is Dangerous
- No seed phrase or private key is requested
- Wallet interactions appear legitimate and routine
- Funds can be moved silently after approval without further confirmation
🛡️How to Stay Safe
- Never copy or paste commands into your terminal at a website’s request
- Be cautious of Permit or allowance requests tied to “error fixes” or unexpected prompts
- Revoke suspicious token approvals immediately using Binance Wallet or other trusted tools
🔐Final Reminder
Modern wallet drains exploit trust, not just credentials.
If a site asks for your terminal commands or signature to “fix” an issue, treat it as a serious threat.
