The Sui Foundation is proud to highlight the significant contributions of the Sui community, particularly <a href="https://suiet.app/?ref&#61;blog.sui.io" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Suiet</a>, in safeguarding the ecosystem through Sui Guardians. This initiative, developed and maintained by Suiet, tracks and mitigates scam projects on Sui, providing essential security resources for developers and users alike.Phishing attacks and scams have always been a problem for Internet users and high-value assets in Web3 ecosystems make scams increasingly prevalent. These malicious activities often target unsuspecting users, attempting to deceive them into revealing sensitive information or transferring valuable assets. To combat these threats, Sui Guardians was formed to offer a dedicated repository for tracking and recording phishing websites that target the Sui ecosystem.Scammers frequently airdrop NFTs into users&#39; wallets, impersonating legitimate projects to lure victims into connecting their wallets to malicious websites.
