Microsoft offers defense against crypto scammers

Microsoft has some advice on how to defend against "ice phishing" and other novel attacks that aim to empty cryptocurrency wallets, for those not already abstaining.

Axar.az reports that ice fishing involves cutting a hole in a frozen body of water in order to catch fish. Ice phishing, as Microsoft describes it, is a clickjacking, or a user interface redress attack, that "[tricks] a user into signing a transaction that delegates approval of the user’s tokens to the attacker."

The recent $120m attack on BadgerDAO, for example, relied on a malicious injected script to enable ice phishing, which involved prompting users of the BadgerDAO web app to delegate the attacker to conduct transactions for them.
