️ SCAM ALERT: Fake Zano wallet site ️
A community member has reported a fake site posing as the official Zano wallet: zanowallet[.]io
It is NOT affiliated with Zano.
According to the report, the site offers a Windows installer that looks almost identical to the real wallet, but running it installs a remote access trojan (RAT). This gives attackers control of your computer, including your screen, keystrokes (passwords and seed phrases), microphone, and webcam.
Only download Zano wallets from:
• zano.org/wallets
• github.com/hyle-team/zano/releases
• The official iOS App Store and Google Play listings, or the Android APK linked from zano.org
Stay safe:
• Type zano.org directly or use a bookmark. Don't trust search results or ads.
• Verify downloads against the SHA256 hashes in our GitHub release notes.
• Only whitelist zano.exe in your antivirus if it came from an official source and the hash matches.
• Never share your seed phrase or enter it on a website.
If you ran the installer from that site:
Assume your computer is compromised. From a separate, clean device, create a new Zano wallet with a new seed phrase and move your funds immediately. Change your important passwords from that clean device too, and wipe and reinstall your operating system on the infected one.
