MetaMask Users Under Attack: Fake 2FA Scam Draining Wallets in Seconds

MetaMask users are being targeted by a sophisticated phishing scam that uses fake two-factor authentication (2FA) prompts to steal seed phrases and drain wallets within seconds. The attack begins with fraudulent emails or social media messages impersonating MetaMask support, urging users to enable "mandatory 2FA" under false urgency. Victims are directed to convincing phishing sites that mimic MetaMask’s interface, complete with countdown timers. Once users enter their seed phrase, attackers gain full control of their wallets and immediately transfer all assets. Security firm SlowMist first reported the scam on January 5. While specific loss figures are still emerging, similar recent phishing campaigns have already stolen over $107,000 from hundreds of wallets. MetaMask emphasizes that it never asks for seed phrases via email and advises users to ignore unsolicited security alerts, verify sender addresses, manually type URLs, and use hardware wallets for high-value assets. Enabling authenticator-based 2FA and regularly revoking token approvals are also recommended precautions.
