Stop using Google to find the website of exchanges, services, or wallets.

Stop following random links without checking the URL.

Start using uBlock Origin.

Never type your seed in anywhere.

How many times does this need repeated?
I used Google to search what website I am looking for because I had no idea where else to search for them. Fortunately, I haven't encountered any fraudulent webisite yet.
I think we cannot blame Google, well yes, they are partly responsible for it but it is still on us. Knowing that internet has full of duplicity, we should become more wary and should think before clicking any link online.
It is vague, but someone told me or perhaps I heard from anyone that website owner pays Google in order for their site to be shown upon the top search. It's all business we can't do anything regard with it that is why I said they are not to blame here.
