It’s no surprise that when some crypto game or dApp becomes popular, a swarm of hackers start popping up around the product, trying to either lure unsuspecting users into their trap or breach the project itself – or both.

The former is currently surfacing, according to a blockchain security company called PeckShield. In a recent tweet, the firm’s security experts have revealed that they have found many phishing websites for STEPN, an increasingly popular ‘move-to-earn’ game on the Solana blockchain. PeckShield states that these websites “insert a false MetaMask browser extension”, which causes users’ seed phrases to be stolen. Other phishing variations employed include simply asking you to connect your wallet, as well as clicking a “Claim” button for a supposed ‘giveaway’.

STEPN is a Web3 move-to-earn app that rewards users for simply walking. The concept of ‘move-to-earn’ is meant to encourage users to engage in simple physical activities such as jogging and walking, rewarding those who do so while promoting a healthy lifestyle. The Solana-based mobile app, backed by Binance, Solana Ventures, Alameda Research and various others, does just that.

In order to actually be rewarded for the distance you cover during the day, you’ll need to purchase the game’s NFT sneakers. Once you have these virtual shoes equipped, you’re ready to go for a run, with STEPN tracking your movement via GPS and rewarding you with Green Satoshi Tokens ($GST). The amount you can earn daily not only depends on how much ground you’ve covered, but also on many other factors such as the type of NFT sneaker you have, the attributes of the NFT and more.
