A fraudulent Google Chrome plugin falsely posing as the official Xaman Wallet has surfaced, requesting suspicious permissions. Founder Wietse Wind clarifies that Xaman operates only via its official website.
Wietse Wind, founder of the Xaman (formerly Xumm) wallet for XRP users, has cautioned the community about a fake Google Chrome extension impersonating Xaman. The counterfeit plugin allegedly requests unusual wallet access, raising phishing concerns. Wind emphasized that Xaman does not have a browser-based plugin and that users should only access the official web address, xaman.app, to safeguard their funds and credentials. The warning highlights a growing trend of fake crypto wallet extensions targeting unsuspecting users through deceptive listings.
