DApp Over-Authorization Risks

When interacting with a DApp for the first time, users may be prompted to click the "Approve" button for authorization. However, this seemingly innocent action can be risky. Some DApp developers set the maximum authorization quantity of tokens to the smart contract by default, which can expose users to vulnerabilities. If the smart contract has flaws or malicious administrators, users' tokens may be at risk of loss due to "DApp Over-Authorization."

Bitget Wallet (Previously Bitget Wallet (Previously BitKeep))'s advice is simple: avoid over-authorizing during on-chain interactions. Regularly revoke authorizations for unused DApps and remain vigilant against "bait-and-switch" scams to protect your assets. It's essential to periodically clean up permissions for infrequently used DApps or set limits on token transfers.

Profit Return Authorization Scams

An emerging trend is profit return authorization scams, where scammers impersonate Bitget Wallet (Previously Bitget Wallet (Previously BitKeep))'s wallet address QR codes to deceive users. They lure victims into a fake website that promises a 3% daily return on a small transfer, typically around 0.01 USDT, to verify their address.

In reality, this transfer unknowingly authorizes the scammer to access your funds, allowing them to steal your entire balance. To avoid asset losses from such scams, exercise caution and verify the authenticity of websites and QR codes before any transactions.
