Recognising phishing messages about a new Torzon link
Phishing works by creating urgency around something you already care about.
Last updated
Urgency
Phrases such as "old address shut down, use this one now" are designed to make you skip checks.
Unusual channels
Announcements that arrive in private messages, comments or ads rather than official channels deserve suspicion.
Requests for secrets
Any message asking for a password, PIN, recovery phrase or payment to "keep" your account is fraudulent.
What to do
Do not click. Open these docs, compare the torzon link with the verified one and ignore the message if they differ.
Tip A message pushing a new Torzon link urgently is a reason to check, not to click.
Addresses The verified Torzon addresses are listed on the overview page.
