Pi Security Guide: Phishing, Impersonation and Wallet Protection
A practical threat model for Pi users covering phishing, fake support, malicious links and wallet secrets.
Start with the threat model
Many crypto losses do not require breaking a blockchain. Attackers can trick a person into revealing a secret, approving a transaction or visiting an impersonation site. A repeatable verification routine is stronger than urgency or visual familiarity.
Never reveal recovery secrets
A passphrase, private key or comparable recovery secret can give control over a wallet. Do not paste it into support forms, giveaways, token-claim pages or wallet-validation tools. PiCoin.store never requests these secrets.
Verify claims before links
Guaranteed returns, surprise rewards, account-suspension threats and limited-time migration offers are pressure tactics. Verify the underlying claim through an independent official route before following a link.
Respond to suspected compromise
Stop interacting with suspicious parties, preserve evidence and use official support resources. Do not pay another stranger who claims to be a recovery specialist.
