Phishing Protection

How to identify phishing attacks targeting XamanProtocol users and protect yourself.

What Is Phishing?

Phishing is when attackers create fake emails, websites, or social media accounts that impersonate XamanProtocol to trick you into revealing your login credentials, 2FA codes, or private keys. Once they have these, they can access your account and steal your funds.

Common Phishing Tactics

  • Fake login pages: A website that looks identical to XamanProtocol but is on a slightly different domain (e.g., xamanprotocol-login.com, v1tstake.com, xamanprotocol.xyz)
  • Fake support emails: Emails claiming there is a problem with your account and asking you to 'verify' by clicking a link
  • Social media impersonation: Fake Twitter/Discord accounts claiming to be XamanProtocol support
  • 'Urgent' security alerts: Emails saying your account will be suspended unless you log in immediately
  • Investment promises: DMs or posts offering unrealistic returns if you 'connect' your wallet

How to Protect Yourself

  1. Always type the URL directly into your browser. Never click links in emails to log in.
  2. Bookmark the real domain and only use the bookmark.
  3. Check the URL bar before entering any credentials.
  4. XamanProtocol will never ask for your password, 2FA code, or seed phrase via email or support chat.
  5. Enable 2FA — even if a phisher gets your password, they can't log in without your 2FA code.
  6. Do not engage with unsolicited DMs on Telegram, Discord, or Twitter claiming to offer help or investment opportunities.

If You Clicked a Phishing Link

If you believe you've clicked a phishing link or entered credentials on a fake site:

  1. Do NOT log in anywhere else with the same password.
  2. Immediately change your XamanProtocol password.
  3. Revoke all active sessions in Settings → Security.
  4. Contact support to report the incident.
  5. Change your email account password too.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I verify an email is really from XamanProtocol?+
Check the sender's email address domain — it should be the official platform domain. When in doubt, log in directly by typing the URL and check for any notifications in your dashboard.
XamanProtocol support messaged me on Telegram — is this real?+
XamanProtocol does not initiate contact via Telegram. Any unsolicited Telegram message claiming to be from XamanProtocol support is a scam.
