Definition ∞ User Interface Spoofing is a deceptive technique where an attacker creates a fraudulent graphical user interface that closely mimics a legitimate one. The objective is to trick users into interacting with the fake interface, believing it to be authentic, thereby compromising their credentials or digital assets. This can involve creating convincing fake login pages, transaction confirmation screens, or wallet interfaces. It is a form of phishing attack designed to exploit user trust.
Context ∞ In the cryptocurrency domain, User Interface Spoofing poses a significant threat, as it can lead to the unauthorized transfer of funds from user wallets or exchange accounts. News often reports on such exploits, particularly those targeting popular decentralized applications or wallet services. Users are advised to exercise extreme caution, verify URLs, and use official links to mitigate the risk of falling victim to these sophisticated attacks.
