MetaMask, Phantom, WalletConnect and Backpack Join SEAL’s Real-Time Phishing Defense

The coalition uses cryptographically verified user reports to broadcast instant phishing warnings across participating wallets.

Overview

  • SEAL’s network operationalizes its Verifiable Phishing Reports, launched last week, to auto-validate evidence of malicious sites.
  • Any user or researcher with a valid report can trigger warnings across participating wallets without special permissions.
  • Partners say the system delivers faster protection than traditional blocklists by broadcasting alerts in real time.
  • The initiative targets adaptive drainer kits such as Inferno, Angel and Ace that use rapid site rotation and cloaking.
  • CertiK estimates more than $400 million was stolen by phishing in the first half of 2025, and MetaMask’s Ohm Shah says the collaboration improves response agility.
