MetaMask 用戶在 2026 年面臨日益複雜且有針對性的釣魚攻擊，詐騙分子專注於高價值錢包和恢復短語，儘管報告的加密釣魚損失總體呈下降趨勢。

![MetaMask users are experiencing new security threats as phishing attacks and targeted crypto attacks continue to scale and sophisticate toward 2026. As seen in recent incidents, the attackers are no longer interested in mass spamming but in highly targeted, more convincing schemes. The schemes are aimed at acquiring wallet recovery phrases. The most recent warning has come after a surge of spam emails that posed as MetaMask security messages and purported that the user must update their two-factor authentication. The threats litigated that failure to do so by the beginning of January 2026 would limit access to wallet options. The emails redirected the victims to fake security pages that would extract mnemonic recovery phrases to empty wallets in a few minutes. The phishing campaign was reported to blockchain security researchers early in January, when users reported emails that really resembled the MetaMask branding and wording. Countdowns and urgent alerts were shown on these pages, putting pressure on the users to do everything within a few minutes.

The last step asked phrases of wallet recovery phrases, a red flag in crypto security. Using the information, users gave a blank check to attackers without being aware of it. According to security experts, the architecture of the fraud was indicative of an emerging tendency toward psychological manipulation, as opposed to technical exploits, per se. The emails were urgent and authoritative, and had a visual familiarity which meant that there was less chance that the user would wait to confirm authenticity. Researchers Urge Caution With Crypto-Related Emails Security experts argued that phishing emails are one of the best points of entry for crypto theft. According to analysts, attackers no longer use glaring mistakes or ill-constructed messages. In its place, recent phishing attacks usually have slick designs, proper terminology, and time-scheduling to match real industry action. The given phishing attack is not the first such event that a MetaMask user has encountered within the last few years. Attackers in previous cases would use vulnerabilities external to the wallet software itself, such as third-party cloud storage breaches. The outcomes of those events were the theft of digital properties in the form of NFTs and large tokens, and the money lost amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Although MetaMask has always claimed that its fundamental wallet infrastructure was not affected directly, previous incidents emphasized the fact that indirect vulnerability can bring devastating effects to finances. High-value NFTs and traded tokens in past attacks were stolen, highlighting the financial motivation of more elaborate scams. Security analysts observed that such repeated incidences of people impersonation have rendered MetaMask a common point of impersonation. Being among the most popular self-custody wallets, its brand name gives crooks a massive appeal. Phishing Losses Fall, but Attacks Become More Targeted The greater industry data indicates a mixed security situation of mix. Web3 security companies had noted that the overall crypto phishing damages significantly decreased in 2025, declining by over 80% compared to the year before. Nonetheless, analysts warned that the fall in headline figures covers a more worrying trend.

Crypto Phishing Data | Source: Scam Sniffer Instead of attacking in bulk retail users with low-value attacks, cybercriminals started to attack high-value individuals and the so-called whales. These activities were the ones based on accuracy in targeting, advanced social engineering, and the use of new technical standards to receive the highest payouts using fewer victims. Attackers used to combine several malicious activities in one transaction during the volatile moments of the market, particularly during the time of significant Ethereum upgrades. This strategy enabled them to empty pockets in a more efficient way but avoid simple security inspections. The average levels of loss per victim were much higher in a few months of 2025 despite the decline in the number of victims. Security companies emphasized that the losses reported were probably also just a fraction of the damage, as most scams are not reported or happen off-chain by direct key compromise and social engineering. 2026 Under Threat Amid Rising Complexity of Crypto Attack Techniques Analysts fear that a more sophisticated attack is probable in the year 2026. Fraudulent emails are now frequently combined with counterfeit browser extensions, poisoned smart contracts, and a fake website that looks almost like a real one. Another tactic used by attackers is the user behavior during the bull market phases, when trading is more active, and caution is frequently low. Scam activity is highest according to security data at times of strong rallies, as urgency and optimism predispose users to fraud. Simultaneously, attackers are still improving malware-based methods, such as clipboard hijacking and transaction abuse. These tactics usually target phishing campaigns so that there are multi-layered threats, which ordinary people struggle to identify. Other than phishing, rug pulls remain among the most harmful crypto scams. Research in the industry estimates that in the previous year alone, investors lost hundreds of millions of dollars due to rug pull schemes, and the average losses per scheme increased dramatically. Though there was a decrease in the count of the reported rug pulls in some of the trackers, overall financial harm shot up, suggesting that frauds became more influential. Most rug pulls targeted memecoins and decentralized finance tokens, in which launches occur at a very fast pace and there is little regulation, giving criminals an ideal opportunity to exploit them.

Investigators discovered that accounts where hackers or influencers impersonated them were the most frequent methods of forming false credibility. Security experts cautioned that rug pulls and phishing tend to overlap each other. Mutually exclusive fake airdrops, staking offers, and yield farming incentives often act as access points to wallet-bleeding attacks. How to Protect Your Crypto in 2026 With the increase in the use of crypto, security professionals are confident that attackers will keep perfecting their techniques. It is recommended that the user be wary of emergency messages, unforeseen security notifications, and links that take them out of the official platform. Analysts further caution that new technologies, such as the implementation of new standards of transactions and automated wallet capabilities, can put in place new attack surfaces. Although these inventions enhance usability, they can be used by the malevolent before the security practice can catch up to speed. Observers in the industry emphasized that self-custody is a fundamental concept in owning crypto, yet it needs an even greater level of personal responsibility. Learning about the functioning of scams and being disciplined in security practices will become very important as the threat actors become increasingly advanced. Although there are good results in detection and reduction of headline phishing losses, the dynamic character of crypto crime indicates that the risks are high. The trend towards more specific, high-impact attacks is something that even experienced users cannot avoid. Security researchers derive that a combination of technical protection measures and enlightened user behaviour, and quick reaction of wallet providers is the best defence. Being a smart user in the context of digital asset protection will continue to be important in 2026 as phishing, rug pull schemes, and new exploit patterns emerge in a more and more complex threat environment.](https://img-cdn.gateio.im/webp-social/moments-d0f57377734d7562f810ed074d23ef03.webp)

MetaMask 用戶正在經歷新的安全威脅，因為釣魚攻擊和有針對性的加密攻擊繼續向 2026 年升級並變得更加複雜。正如最近發生的事件所示，攻擊者不再對大規模垃圾郵件感興趣，而是精心策劃高度針對性、更具說服力的方案。這些方案旨在獲取錢包恢復短語。

最近的警告來自於大量冒充 MetaMask 安全訊息的垃圾郵件激增，聲稱用戶必須更新其雙因素認證。威脅聲稱，如果不在 2026 年初之前完成此操作，將限制對錢包選項的訪問。這些電郵將受害者重定向到虛假安全頁面，這些頁面會提取助記詞恢復短語，在幾分鐘內清空錢包。

該釣魚活動在 1 月初被區塊鏈安全研究人員報告，當時用戶報告了看起來真的類似 MetaMask 品牌和用語的電郵。這些頁面顯示了倒計時和緊急警報，對用戶施加壓力，要求其在幾分鐘內完成所有操作。

受害者被帶到虛假頁面，之後他們經歷了一個模擬的雙因素認證過程。最後一步要求錢包恢復短語，這是加密安全中的危險信號。使用這些資訊，用戶在不知情的情況下向攻擊者開了空白支票。

根據安全專家的說法，該詐騙的架構表明了一種新興趨勢，即更多地採用心理操縱，而非技術漏洞。這些電郵緊迫且帶有權威性，具有視覺熟悉感，這意味著用戶等待確認真偽的機會更少。

研究人員敦促對加密相關電郵保持謹慎

安全專家辯稱，釣魚電郵是加密盜竊的最佳入口點之一。根據分析師的說法，攻擊者不再使用明顯的錯誤或構造不當的訊息。取而代之的是，最近的釣魚攻擊通常具有精良的設計、適當的術語和時間安排，以符合真實的行業行動。

這次釣魚攻擊並不是 MetaMask 用戶在過去幾年內遇到的第一起事件。在先前的案例中，攻擊者會利用錢包軟體外部的漏洞，例如第三方雲儲存洩露。這些事件的結果是以 NFT 和大額代幣形式的數位資產被盜，損失金額達數十萬美元。

儘管 MetaMask 一直聲稱其基本錢包基礎設施未直接受到影響，但先前的事件強調了間接漏洞可能造成毀滅性財務後果的事實。過去的攻擊中，高價值的 NFT 和交易代幣被盜，凸顯了更精心策劃的詐騙的經濟動機。

安全分析師觀察到，這種重複的人員冒充事件已使 MetaMask 成為常見的冒充目標。作為最受歡迎的自託管錢包之一，其品牌名稱為騙子提供了巨大的吸引力。

釣魚損失下降，但攻擊變得更有針對性

更大的行業數據表明安全形勢參差不齊。Web3 安全公司注意到，2025 年整體加密釣魚損害大幅下降，與前一年相比下降超過 80%。儘管如此，分析師警告稱，標題數據的下降掩蓋了一個更令人擔憂的趨勢。

網絡犯罪分子不再對低價值攻擊進行大規模零售用戶攻擊，而是開始針對高價值個人和所謂的鯨魚進行攻擊。這些活動基於精確的針對性、先進的社會工程學和使用新技術標準以用更少的受害者獲得最高回報。

攻擊者曾經在市場波動時期（特別是在重大以太坊升級期間）的一次交易中組合多個惡意活動。該策略使他們能夠更有效地清空口袋，但避免簡單的安全檢查。儘管受害者數量下降，但 2025 年某幾個月的平均損失水平要高得多。

安全公司強調，報告的損失可能只是損害的一小部分，因為大多數詐騙未被報告或通過直接金鑰洩露和社會工程學在鏈外發生。

2026 年面臨威脅，加密攻擊技術的複雜性不斷上升

分析師擔心 2026 年可能發生更複雜的攻擊。欺詐性電郵現在經常與虛假瀏覽器擴展、被投毒的智能合約和幾乎看起來像真實的虛假網站結合在一起。

攻擊者使用的另一種戰術是利用牛市階段期間的用戶行為，此時交易更加活躍，謹慎程度通常較低。根據安全數據，在強勁漲幅時期，詐騙活動最高，因為緊迫性和樂觀情緒使用戶容易被詐騙。

同時，攻擊者仍在改進基於惡意軟體的方法，例如剪貼板劫持和交易濫用。這些戰術通常針對釣魚活動，以便存在多層威脅，普通人難以識別。

除了釣魚外，地板價格崩潰仍然是最有害的加密詐騙之一。行業研究估計，僅在前一年，投資者因地板價格崩潰計劃損失了數億美元，每個計劃的平均損失急劇增加。

儘管某些追蹤器中報告的地板價格崩潰數量有所減少，但總體財務損害大幅上升，表明詐騙變得更具影響力。大多數地板價格崩潰針對的是迷因幣和去中心化金融代幣，其中會以非常快的速度進行啟動，監管很少，為犯罪分子提供了絕佳的探索機會。

社交媒體成為營銷這些計劃的前沿陣地，大部分投資者流量由消息應用和微博網站引起。調查人員發現，冒充黑客或影響者的賬户是形成虛假信譽的最常見方法。

安全專家警告稱，地板價格崩潰和釣魚往往相互重疊。相互排斥的虛假空投、質押提供和流動性挖礦激勵通常充當錢包流失攻擊的訪問點。

如何在 2026 年保護您的加密資產

隨著加密技術使用的增加，安全專家有信心攻擊者將繼續完善他們的技術。建議用戶警惕緊急訊息、意外的安全通知和將他們從官方平台帶走的連結。

分析師進一步警告稱，新技術（如新交易標準的實現和自動化錢包功能）可能會引入新的攻擊面。儘管這些發明提高了可用性，但在安全實踐能夠趕上之前，惡意人士可能會使用這些發明。

行業觀察人士強調，自託管是擁有加密資產的基本概念，但需要更高程度的個人責任。隨著威脅參與者變得越來越先進，了解詐騙的運作方式和遵守安全實踐紀律將變得非常重要。

儘管在檢測和減少標題釣魚損失方面取得了良好成果，但加密犯罪的動態性質表明風險很高。朝向更具體、高影響力攻擊的趨勢是即使經驗豐富的用戶也無法避免的。

安全研究人員推導出，技術保護措施與開明用戶行為和錢包提供商的快速反應的組合是最好的防禦。隨著 2026 年釣魚、地板價格崩潰計劃和新型漏洞模式在日益複雜的威脅環境中出現，在數位資產保護背景下成為聰明用戶將繼續很重要。
