in LeoFinance8 months ago

Blockchain technology have been seen and known as a very secure technology that can't be access by hackers, and this has given us peace of mind as our cryptocurrency funds will be safe in our wallet.

But that should not mean that we should not think of possibility of hackers looking for ways to hack into the technology. In recent time, there are many ways that hackers are trying to manipulate the Blockchain to still user's fund. The newest one is they have found a way to hide malicious payloads in Binance smart chain contracts, tempting there victims to update their browsers from fake prompts and taking victims to a fake landing page and link. This process is called Etherhiding.

This hacking is mainly done on WordPress websites. And it is known that more than 45% of the existing websites uses WordPress. So it is advisable to always take note and be careful of prompt that pop up from the websites we visit and know the ones we click on so that we won't fall for this hack. I believe Binance will find a solution to this and secure there smart chain technology as they have been doing before.
