This technique is commonly employed in phishing attacks or sophisticated scams to trick users into revealing sensitive information or authorizing malicious transactions. The masked interface presents a fraudulent appearance, mimicking legitimate services to gain trust. It exploits user perception rather than technical vulnerabilities.
Context ∞ The prevalence of interface masking highlights the ongoing need for user education and enhanced security features in digital asset platforms. Users must exercise extreme caution and verify the authenticity of websites and applications to avoid falling victim to these social engineering tactics. Cybersecurity efforts consistently work to detect and counter such deceptive practices.
