Sui Community Fights Scams with Sui Guardians Initiative

The
Sui
community
has
taken
a
proactive
step
to
enhance
security
and
protect
its
users
by
launching
the
Sui
Guardians
initiative.
This
new
program
aims
to
combat
scams
and
phishing
attacks
within
the
Sui
ecosystem,
according
to

The
Sui
Blog.

Sui
Guardians
to
the
Rescue

The
Sui
Foundation
has
highlighted
the
significant
contributions
of
the
Sui
community,
particularly
from
the
platform
Suiet,
in
developing
and
maintaining
Sui
Guardians.
This
initiative
focuses
on
tracking
and
mitigating
scam
projects
on
Sui,
providing
essential
security
resources
for
both
developers
and
users.

Phishing
attacks
and
scams
have
become
increasingly
prevalent
in
Web3
ecosystems,
targeting
users
to
steal
sensitive
information
or
valuable
assets.
The
Sui
Guardians
project
offers
a
dedicated
repository
for
tracking
and
recording
phishing
websites
that
target
the
Sui
ecosystem.
Scammers
often
airdrop
NFTs
into
users’
wallets,
impersonating
legitimate
projects
to
deceive
victims
into
connecting
their
wallets
to
malicious
websites,
which
then
steal
the
users’
assets.

To
address
these
issues,
Sui
Guardians
maintains
a
comprehensive
and
continuously
updated
list
of
known
phishing
websites
and
malicious
assets
identified
through
prefix
matching.
These
lists
are
accessible
via

Suiet’s
GitHub
repository,
and
can
be
integrated
by
any
app
on
Sui
to
protect
users
in
real-time.
When
a
user
accesses
a
website
through
an
app
utilizing
Sui
Guardians,
the
URL
is
checked
against
the
domain
list,
and
if
a
match
is
found,
the
user
is
warned
and
redirected
to
a
safe
page.

Thanks
to
Sui
Guardians,
approximately
2,500
warnings
about
malicious
interactions
are
delivered
to
Suiet
users
each
week.
The
success
of
Sui
Guardians
relies
heavily
on
community
participation.
The
Sui
Foundation
encourages
all
builders
on
Sui
to
integrate
this
tool
to
protect
their
users
from
scams.
Builders
and
users
are
also
urged
to
contribute
information
about
known
scams
to
the
repository.
Contributions
can
be
submitted
through
the

Sui
Guardian
Scam
Report
Form,
where
detailed
information
about
scams
can
be
provided
for
review
and
inclusion.

Strengthening
Sui
Together

The
Sui
Guardians
project
exemplifies
how
collaborative
efforts
within
the
Sui
ecosystem
can
lead
to
significant
advancements
in
user
security.
While
the
Sui
Foundation
has
contributed
to
this
initiative,
it
is
the
proactive
measures
taken
by
Suiet
and
the
collective
vigilance
of
the
community
that
make
Sui
Guardians
a
critical
tool
in
the
fight
against
scams.
By
integrating
and
contributing
to
Sui
Guardians,
builders
and
users
alike
play
a
vital
role
in
protecting
the
Sui
community
from
fraudulent
activities,
ensuring
a
safer
and
more
trustworthy
environment.

Contributions
from
ecosystem
partners
like
SuiSec
and
Scallop
enhance
these
security
measures,
further
protecting
the
community.
The
Sui
Foundation
and
Suiet
encourage
ongoing
community
involvement
to
maintain
the
safety
and
integrity
of
the
Sui
ecosystem.
